What do you think about these TeamBiz meetings?

   Every meeting I go to is better than the one before.  I usually end up leaving more energized about the business I'm in and it's nice to meet and network with others facing the same challenges that I am.  Today we were lucky enough to have John Stevenson join us from the Business Advisory Group and the knowledge and experience he had to offer was obvious.
   I have a collection of business cards from these meetings and would not think twice about recommending the people I have met to friends or contacts.  It is my hope that they feel the same and can get the word out about me.  Word of mouth is a very powerful tool in my business and this is an excellent form of networking.  My thanks again to Alex and Ruxandra Bucataru for an excellent website and another great meeting.

Thank you, Greg, for your feedback. We'd like to hear from you and everyone else in our community, to let us know what you like and where we can improve.

Since you mentioned the networking component, I think what makes it more effective and comfortable at the same time is the focus on helping each other with knowledge and information, rather than the typical focus on referrals and sales. I think that takes the pressure off and the referrals and sales come naturally, in time.

Again, all comments are much appreciated. Keep them coming!
