Give your business A Leg Up

I went to a new networking group yesterday. It's called "A Leg Up - Small Business Networking" and was created by my friend Kimmer Sue. Kimmer Sue and her co-creator, Judy Stark, have belonged to different networking groups such as BNI and Gold Star Referral Clubs and decided to take the best of those clubs and eliminate the things they didn't like...such as having to pay dues.

This was the "meeting before the meeting", it was to get everyone's input on what they wanted to see from the group. It was decided to meet every Monday from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the Round Table at 1801 H Street in Modesto (in the Smart and Final shopping center). Just in time for the daily lunch buffet! It was also decided that we're going to try to have a speaker every week. Judy is going to have a speaker from SCORE, of which she is an mentor, talk to us about how to create an elevator pitch for the first meeting next week.

There were six people at the meeting yesterday, and I must admit that it was a highly intelligent group...3 of the 6 were SendOutCards distributors, while the other 3 were all customers! And no, neither Kimmer Sue nor Judy are distributors.

So, no matter what business you're in, make it to the Round Table on H Street every Monday at 11:30 and learn how to grow your business!
