   Welcome!

One of the most cost effective ways to generate revenue for your business, is to have other business professionals refer you business. When this happens, it's like having a sales force out there working for you without having them on your payroll. The only way you can get other professionals to do this for you, though is if they know, like, and trust you. In other words, if they have a relationship with you.

But how do you build these relationships in a timely fashion and strong enough to ensure they WILL refer business your way when they run across it? The easiest way is to get business professionals together in the same place at the same time and have a program in place that allows them to build relationships with others.

That's where Lee County Business Women comes in.

This group will work to the maximum for any business professional is if that person participates in the group's activities. This participation would include but may not be limited to :

  1. Attending the functions of the group - the regularly scheduled ones and any special events we may have.
  2. Inviting guests to the group who fit the requirements of membership in the group.
  3. Having a commitment to learn how to best help each member of the group.
  4. Getting in a networking frame of mind so that, when business for a group member presents itself,
    it can be passed on to that member.
  5. Developing loyalties and freindships within the group.

One of the easiest ways to help remember the wealth of business that can come from participation with Lee County Business Women, is to think of the group's functions as "appointments" instead of "meetings". You have the luxury of being able to meet with multiple prospective clients at the same place and time, in one "appointment", instead of each one individually.

Networking groups work. They help business professionals achieve their business goals and they help develop relationship-building skills that are just as effective out of the office as in. The process is called "Networking", which means it involves "work". Networking groups are one of the most effective types of work that can be done for business development.

   Thank You,
