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.
