Guidelines
The more meetings you attend, the more you will benefit!
The 07424 Network for Business is a network of business operators and principals who care about the businesses of other members in the local area, as well as their own. At each meeting you will learn a little more about each other. The network was built on the concept that members have a personal stake in helping all our businesses to grow.You cannot help yourself and fellow members if you are absent, and a substitute cannot do it for you.
Make us proud to say you are one of us.
The members of our group make every effort to put their fellow members at ease when referring business. We are noted for our customer orientation and our drive to provide the best possible products and services to all customers.
Whenever possible, our members support our represented businesses.
Unlike other groups, 07424 does not limit competition in its membership. Members are free to refer business to anyone they choose. But get to know the people that attend our meetings. Our members can meet separately for “1:1″ or other small group meetings to further explore business and referral opportunities. Learn about their work and the products they offer so they will have the opportunity to become your “referral of choice.”
Please respect everyone’s business.
Because our members will refer to whomever they choose, other members may not undercut the business of another member, speak ill of them, nor are they free to exert undue influence that might results in business referrals driven by referral fees, kickbacks or other rewards. Of course, hostility, overly aggressive business practices, lack of respect, and the like are all causes for loss of membership.
We encourage special consideration for 07424 members.
You may choose to offer special discounts, free evaluations and consultations, etc., to all 07424 members.
We stick to our mission.
07424 Network for Business is a group that promotes businesses and supports and educates their owners in that effort. We do not engage in political influence, nor do we consider ourselves to be a group with political concerns and initiatives.
Our dues are $140.00 for the first year, and renewal is $70.
Please make every effort to arrive on time and stay to the end of the meeting. Repeated lateness and/or early departure may be cause for loss of membership.
Dues Refund
If you choose to leave after two months of paid membership, you will receive a 30% refund of your annual dues.
After the first day of the third month of paid membership, annual dues are not refundable.
The facilitator(s) run the meeting.
Our meeting agenda has been well-thought out and we believe it to be an effective tool for networking. Only the facilitators have the authority to change the agenda, and may do so from time to time at their discretion.
Always act in the best interest of the group and its members.
At each meeting, report at least one step you’ve taken to contribute to the well-being of the group and/or its members. Tell us about referrals you’ve made, articles you’ve read, or research you’ve done that will help the group. While we all have the occasional meeting in which we have nothing to report, this should be the exception, rather than the rule.
Referring New Members
Active members at large may refer new members by contacting a member of the Board.
