Grassroots Business Network (Networking Events)
Greater New York City Area
Our mission is to bring small business owners and direct sellers together to share ideas and to refer pre-qualified leads to each other.
The seminars are usually on the topics of health and wellness, business development, sales, marketing, effective networking strategies, and 'self' (e.g. travel, leisure, and self-pampering). To have a balanced life, you must make time for some fun. All work and no play makes John and Jane dull people. For business success we believe that effective networking and follow-up are the keys to helping you increase sales.
We organize and promote networking events and training seminars in the areas of networking, sales, marketing, business development, and holistic wellness. Our main base of operations is New York City (Manhattan). However, we have chapters in Brooklyn, Newark, NJ. Within the next year, we will be launching our Charlotte, NC chapter.
What makes our networking events so special is that we have our events in professional environments - we do not hold them in bars or restaurants as we don't feel those locations are necessarily conducive to effective networking. Another thing is that we provide all attendees with a comprehensive contact sheet/follow-up list. This list has the following information: name, mailing address; e-mail, website, phone number; best time to call; business description; hobbies and interests; and products/services that they are looking to buy in the next 90 days.
