It's exciting to realize that Grand County Businesses Without Borders is well in to it's 5th year of existence. We believe that part of our success, other than the fact that there are no fees or dues, has been our ability to keep our meetings to an hour and to accomplish a maximum amount of networking during that timeframe.
It's only fair that we provide our host and sponsors a few minutes to talk about their business and then give everyone else 30 seconds to introduce themselves. In this 30-seconds you should state your name, your business name and location, then give a quick description of your business and the product or service you provide. This 30-second introduction is what we call your "elevator speech". This speech is very important in any networking situation and for events such as the Networking Extravaganza on May 20.
There's time after the formal meeting to chat or get contact information for those you need to chat with.
We hope this helps to understand the GCBWB format and the reason behind some of our methods!
If you'd like to host a meeting at your business, please contact us at info@gcbwb.com.
