I am in big believer in the power of networking. To be able to meet people one on one and introduce your expertise, your business model, your work ethic is a solid way to grow your business. If you are shy about speaking to others, meeting in a group and learning tips to be able to give that perfect elevator pitch is so critical to business success. I was shy when I began my company but after going to my first networking group and meeting a business coach who taught all of us in attendance how to deliver the perfect elevator pitch I was hooked. We hope that by creating this networking group and meeting other business owners in the Northern Neck we can not only expand our business connections but also learn from each other how to be successful entrepreneurs.
