On this show I share my thoughts on each of the following networking groups:

Civic (Service) Group: Rotary, Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus

Social/Athletic: Country Club, Tennis Club, Cigar Club

Industry Trade Association: Bar Association, American Medical Association

Ethnic/Affinity: Italian-American Cultural Society, Irish-American Police Officers’ Association

Business Associations: Chambers of Commerce

Charities/Non-Profits: United Way, American Cancer Society

Educational: Entrepreneurs Organization, Young Presidents’ Organization

Structured Networking Groups: BNI, LeTip

Some groups are a better fit than others for relationship development. The size of your business and your enthusiasm for the mission of the group are the determining factors. 

I also share the formula for business success with group networking.
