Virtual Networking Groups
For many centuries, it has been said that Networking is key to helping each other’s businesses and networks grow. But what happens when you live too far away, work out of town, have limited use of a vehicle, time, or the funds needed for a typical networking group?
No matter what the reason: If you are looking to connect, grow professionally and personally, meet new friends, and help others grow their networks along with your own, you have found the right place.
Our networking group is affordable and limited to one business per industry. We are hoping to increase each networking group to a minimum of 20 individuals and will allow up to 60 individuals within each session (this does not mean everyone will attend each of the meetings, but it gives us enough diversity in industries to help each other be successful.
You are welcome to join multiple sessions – each session will have its own session fee, and other individuals who are within the same industry are welcome to another group/session. An exception to the industry rule would be if the group is only advertising/discussing a product not offered by an existing member's offerings or noncompeting markets. For example, a real estate agent targeting Stevens Point, WI vs an Agent out of Ashland, WI (non-competitive markets).
Each session fee includes all group sessions (one per week, most weeks of the year – we will not meet the week of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, along with any other session date that is held on a national holiday, for example: July 4th.
Each session will have its own E-newsletter (once a quarter) and a business/individual featured on their networking page on the website.
Write-ups must be submitted by the 25th of the month prior to release date. Ad/letter must be in a PDF File,1-page, 8x10 in size – can be photos, ad, write-up, or another creative idea you may have about your business/want others in the group to know. If you need assistance finalizing your ad/write-up, we can help for an extra charge - $25 each. You’re welcome to submit one new design/ad per month or run the same one multiple months. If we help you write/design ad content, you are welcome to use the ad elsewhere for advertising. We would encourage you to write something new each time so that everyone in the group has an update about your business, and we can continue to help each other grow.
By joining, you understand you are part of a professional network. As a network, we do not tolerate harassment or profanity and require an appropriate dress code for on-camera networking. If you are caught not following the rules, we reserve the right to disenroll you from the group.
All membership fees are nonrefundable - and are based on one-year membership renewals - even if paid quarterly. If you do not plan to renew your membership, please let us know 90 days ahead of time via email or when you receive your membership renewal notice so we can fill your space with someone else in your industry.
