NYC GBN Mid-Summer Networking Event

Wow - the panelists were true experts and very friendly. There was a lot of positive energy in the room, and great networking was done. This was our first go in NYC using speed networking, and it was really a hoot! It was a great way to not only get face to face with your potential client/strategic partner, but also a great way to practice your fast pitch.We had a great time, and really learned what everyone else does - in 60 seconds or less - amazing!

Grassroots Business Network

ATTENTION!!  Small business owners, direct sellers, or anyone with a budding entrepreneurial endeavour.  

If you are looking for a serious minded group of professionals to surround yourself with, that will assist you in growing your business.....you have found it!!

Grassroots Business Network organizes and promotes quality networking events.  We never host our events in bars or restaurants, as we believe these venues are not conducive to effective networking.  If you take time away from your family and business, it should be worth it.

We have monthly networking events where members are given the opportunity to be a featured entrepreneur or a  guest speaker.  Members also participate by giving away a sample of their product in a business card drawing of guest attending the event.  Members may also provide items we use during the event (pens,bags,writing tablets) with their logo and information on them to provide one more way to promote themselves.

If you have just started a business, or are ready to take your business to the next level, please visit www.gbnllc.com for more information on becoming a member of the Grassroots Business Network. 

Our most recent event was held on 4/10/08 at Providence Country Club.  We had over 30 guest in attendance that heard from our expert panel, met two of our featured entrepreneurs, and later received a comprehensive contact list of each person in attendance.
