Tip1


Take the necessary time to talk to people to get the word out about the networking group.

Tip 2


When you visit business owners, don’t talk about the business you are in.
Focus on the benefits that they’ll enjoy as a member of the networking group.

Tip 3


Be consistent in your attendance at your networking meetings.

Tip 4


The group should be nonexclusive. This means that there can be local competitors in the same group. This policy is opposite of what most networking groups practice, but as a result of this policy, the group continues to grow and more referrals are shared.

Tip 5


Invite the local media, such as the phone book sales reps and newspaper sales reps, to be a part of your networking group. You will probably get additional exposure from the media as a result of having media sales reps in your group.

Tip 6


When you run your meetings, make sure that you are cordial. Be sure to include everyone, and don’t be too much of a stickler on allotted time given to each person
in the meeting.


Tip 7


Hold the first meeting in your office, if possible. After the initial organizational meeting, it’s easiest to hold your meetings at a Restaurant. The restaurant owner gets free advertising, and everyone can pitch in for the coffee being served.

Tip 8


Create a sense of group ownership by making sure that any changes in the way the group works or where it meets is by majority vote.
