My Vision for the group is: “Biz growth through partnership.” I formed the group to bring people together who can benefit from my business consulting expertise. The primary focus of my consulting practice is helping clients achieve greater success in their marketing and sales efforts.
An additional goal for starting the group is to help members cultivate stronger relationships, based on my conviction that people grow their businesses most effectively through partnerships.
In 2025 our Group will take your business to an entirely new level. Members derive two powerful benefits other “networking-only” groups just can’t/won’t deliver:
- Every member is a de facto coaching client of mine. I serve as your personal business growth coach. We meet regularly and I hold you accountable for achieving networking and lead gen results; and
- I coach you to market your services, promote you and what you do, as well as provide you with sales coaching. You engage at a strategic level to maximize the group for your benefit.
Ask Yourself:
- “What is the measurable $ VALUE in each referral I give/receive?”
- “What value $ do I derive from each of my strategic partners?”
- “What is the total cost and $ ROI $ of my total annual networking investment?”
We tackle these challenges together. We schedule one-on-one coaching sessions to plan your sales and financial goals, including those for this Group. We will then develop, implement, measure, and hold ourselves accountable jointly to achieving these goals.

FEE-BASED MEMBERSHIP MODEL
The annual fee for this networking/coaching service is $3,000. You have the option of paying for the year up-front, or make monthly payments of $295.
You may choose to attend the monthly networking meetings without the consulting.
MONTHLY MEETINGS ONLY
You may choose to only attend our monthly Group meetings for your business referral cultivation. These meetings operate at a very strategic “How is my business doing” structure.
You are able to do your relationship-building one-on-ones. But with greater lead gen-focused clarity/urgency guided by the meetings.
If you only wish to attend the meetings, a one-time upfront payment of $420 for the year is required. You can also pay as you go. That’s $35 a month.
TOP-OF-MIND SPEAKER SERIES
Every month I have experts present during a new “TOP-OF-MIND” Lunch & Learn series I developed. These presentations will be available to you as a Group member. I also invite my 8,800+ LinkedIn followers and 450 people I email regularly. Attendees outside our group will be vetted as potential new members, to maximize your new business potential by growing our Group.
UPCOMING Q1 SPEAKERS
- Jan. 9: Clay Hicks. Networking Success Expert. Founder & CEO, H7 Network.
- Feb. 13: Chris DeVany. ChatGPT Sales Expert. Pres. & CEO, Pinnacle Performance Improvement.
GROUP’S FUTURE GROWTH
Member surveys indicated people wanted to see the Group grow. I continue to drive growth by bringing in new members, and will begin targeting entrepreneurs and start-up’s, as some of you requested.
Understand that growing the group is a SHARED responsibility. You need to bring guests who you pre-qualify as:
1) Potential clients for you; and/or
2) Referral partners for you.
NY, PHILLY, MD BIZ ROUNDTABLE DINNERS
I have begun hosting monthly business roundtable dinners as intimate relationship-building outings in NYC, Philly, and the DC/Baltimore Metro areas. Let me know if you are interested in attending/learning more. Feel free to suggest other locations.
CO-OP LINKEDIN GROUP
Did you know we have our own LinkedIn group? I created it for you to share things you’re working on but it is not being utilized. I urge you to start using that to promote your business, talks, your events, successes, and foster relationship “stickiness”.
Here’s to an amazing New Year filled with growth, prosperity, and relationship-building!
