The group meets every week from 7:15 – 8:30 a.m. at a meeting room at Glenmeadow Retirement Community (24 Tabor Crossing, Longmeadow, MA). Each member is a business owner who is trying to promote his/her business. The idea of the group, similar to all networking groups, is to promote each other’s business among members in the group.

The growth of our group, while truely impressive, is a necessary part of a healthy future. When I began a sales career for Uniroyal in 1974, the sales manager I was responsible to imparted some incredible advice: new business, new business, NEW BUSINESS!
I’ve never forgotten. Customers (and for this discussion, group members) will come and go for reasons totally beyond one’s control: they find better suppliers, they go out of business, and some die. Many other reasons too numerous to list. The key is getting more than you lose.
I suggest having countless new members is in all of our best interests, as long as they are quality people, quality members, for which it is our duty to determine. Re-configuring our meeting table is a small price to pay.
At the last meeting, we waited until the very end to do referrals and testimonials and pretty much ran out of time. Since this is a VERY important part of our meetings, I suggest moving it up on the schedule for the meetings.
