Norwalk Business Referral Breakfast

This Business Referral Breakfast will be for businesses, entrepreneurs and professionals who want to grow their business through GIVING referrals and in return GETTING referrals in a professionally formatted program.

The first Breakfast is open to anyone in business to see if this Breakfast format works for them. At the first meeting the group will be formed and all following meetings will be a non-compete group. If at the first meeting their is more than one business represented, it will be determined who receives the spot by two methods; first criteria is whoever registers for the Breakfast first on NetworkingCT, and second, if the first person decides not be part of the group, the second in registering will have a chance to join the group etc.

Here is the format:
7:30 - Sign-in and General Networking
7:45 - Call to order, Purpose and Overview
8:00 - One minute introduction
8:15 - Speaker gives 10 minute Presentation and Q&A
8:30 - Educational segment
8:45 - Testimonials and referrals
9:00 - End meeting on time

Aliza Wolfe and Steven Freedman, frequent presenters and top producers with SendOutCards will teach the principles of Appreciation Marketing, using Law of Attraction principles that ANY company will thrive on when they develop an Appreciation Marketing strategy of their own.

    After reading all the comments on the right side of the page and in this column. it's obv we have a motivated group. It's my pleasure to cater the breakfasts on our "CHEERS" Butlers heavily discounted pricing formula however $2-$3pp would be impossible to beat esp when all the meeting calls for is coffee & bagels/donuts. On the other hand, I'm happy to provide service for special events networkingct.com and/or our Wednesday networking group may have as the weeks and months move forward.

    We're just getting to know each other and so for starters it was excellent. There seemed to be a built in level of trust which is the best place to start to grow relationships. People seemed really interested in helping each other. I got a referral right away from Joan for a large medical practice that I've been trying to get into.

    Bob & Harrison are doing GREAT things with NetworkingCT.com --- This Norwalk business referral breakfast group is just another successful venture created by them. The group members are 90% in business areas that I want to grow my business and the connections I seek to create & develop are ALL in this group and participation in this group I AM SURE will allow me to disseminate information about my business to people who can ultimately become MY SALES TEAM. I am committed to attending each meeting as it is important in the infancy of this groups growth and the development of my business contacts to be there to create face time with the group members. This is a concept that you should also consider IF you seek to build and create contacts. AGAIN --- way to go Bob & Harrison ... this Norwalk referral business groups ROCKS ALREADY.

    Relationships are the key to growing your business. It is a process and you never know when you find the goose that lays the golden egg. I hope to be the golden egg for someone one day. Sid

    This meeting focused on setting the agenda for the group. The venue was a bit small for this number of attendees. A larger space was volunteered for future meetings. Although we voted to hold meetings every other week, I'm not sure if that will get too confusing. Bob voiced his intention to keep the meetings somewhat unstructured. That may prove challenging to moderate. I liked the idea of breaking into smaller "pods", to get to know each other, better.
