SPEED NETWORKING MYTHS
Myth:     Speed Networking events are for young professionals only. 

Reality:  Facebook was supposed to only be for college kids….right….SpeedNetworking events are showing up at major conferences and corporations such as the American Bar Association, Corporate Compliance, PepsiCo, World Presidents Organization and many others.  The demographics are consistent through all age brackets.

 

Myth:      Speed Networking events are for sales people only.
Reality:   Organizations of all types have been turning to speed networking events to engage in peer to peer networking, mentoring, cross selling, team building,  referral sources and many other networking formats.  Fortune 500 companies have also incorporated speed networking events internally to enhance team building and much more.

Myth:     You can’t build a relationship in 5 minutes.
Reality:  We absolutely agree.  Speed Networking events shouldn’t set the expectation you are going to meet the person that will do a deal, have the answer, give you a contact on the spot.  Theseevents are meant for initiating new relationship which will need to be fostered over the short and long term to ensure a positive outcome.   

JB2B HOP 2 Networkers

Hour of PowerAs there have been numerous requests, Jewish B2B is organizing a smaller, inclusive networking group to assist and encourage businesses to support, share ideas and grow together as they search for and market directly to consumers. The JB2B HOP 2 Networkers will be meeting on a monthly basis. Our networking group is designed for the business professional catering to the consumer market. Please note that our networking group is designed by invitation only and as we start the group, we are limiting participation to one participant each of their respected field only.

The mission of The JB2B HOP 2 Networkers is to help promote our businesses throughout our individual networks. As with any relationship, we meet, get to know each other and feel confident in recommending each other’s products & services. As is Aesop’s fable of The Tortoise and the Hare, our goal is to build long term relationships over time with trust, commitment and integrity. We all strive for business today and sales tomorrow, but the foundation of friendship is built on the layers of time.

The inaugural meeting will be Thursday August 1, 2013 from 7:30 – 9:00am. The meeting will be held is Skokie.

Please email/ RSVP your request to join to by Friday July 26, 2013:
