What we’re about
Networking is a brilliant way to bring in new business. It is inexpensive and profitable. In fact, some people make a considerable amount of new revenue each year through networking. Would you like to find out how?
At CIBN Connect we're all about helping business owners with their networking. Online business networking can be a powerful way to build a community around your business, and we're here to help with that. Here are some of the online business networking events that you will see in this group:
BOSS Networking
- This online business networking event features a round robin style introduction where you will share who you are, and what type of connections you're looking for
-Then we talk strategy. Every week we feature a new topic which will help you strategize around your business. My favorite topics have been KPI's do's and do nots, risk assessment and management, and when to do a SWAT analysis.

- The weekly subject of this meeting is networking strategy. It's not enough to get out there and ask for referrals, we want you to be good at giving and receiving them! So we make a weekly habit out of discussing best practices and tools which help business owners make sure that this is a good use of their time.
-The conversations are largely based on our book SMART Networking, and you can check out a copy here if you like.
-This meeting is for business owners, entrepreneurs, and sales people who are networking and want to make sure that it is a net-WORKING for them!

Our Online Business Networking events are marketed across a variety of platforms, so the registrant count for each event is not accurate. And the nature of online events is that they will bring in folks from all over, however, it is still easy to network towards the people that you'd like to meet wherever they are. In fact, we have software for LinkedIn which helps you find exactly who you're looking for.
