FAQ...

What is a typical Business Alliance meeting like?

A typical Business Alliance meeting is an hour and a half long. The first portion is spent networking with other participants and practicing your ":30 second commercial." Time is then allotted to exchange leads and discuss any closed business. (Note: In 2006 the four Business Alliance groups closed $1.3 mil. in business.) Individual 10 minute presentations are then given to the group for purposes of professional development, as well as educating the group about your business - and gaining important feedback from your peers. Food and beverages are provided at every meeting.

What is a ":30 second commercial?"

A :30 second commercial is an introduction of your company and the role you play in developing business for your organization. It is also a way of relaying the most optimum leads and lead sources for your company.

What type of people participate in Business Alliance?
