Small Business Forum Radio - Effective Global Online Networking Group

Welcome to Small Business Forum Radio's- Effective Global Online Networking Group. A monthly online community of business owners and community leaders dedicated to help you with targeted leads (not just business cards), resources, job listings and financial support. The group was started by radio/TV personality and magazine publisher, Tony Wilkins as a way to effectively help business owners connect to the support they need to do business in a real tangible way. This is a different type of networking group in several ways.

We invite like-minded people to become members. These are people who understand what it means to pay it forward. So you won’t be sitting in a room with 200 people looking to sell you something. This is a give to get forum

We ask our members to tell us who they want to do business with and then we make an effort to invite those industry professionals to the meetings. This one significant change allows our members to network with their targeted audience instead of random, professionals.

This is an online forum which means that not only can you connect with people from your home or office, but you can connect with people from around the world which opens up new markets to do business.

We require each of our members to be an active participant in the group’s success. This means that by coming to a meeting you agree to share how we can help you and our members are required to help you succeed. Members aren’t required to purchase your product or service but rather connect you to others who might become a customer. We want to make sure our community of professionals attend your events, promote your services to others, and introduce each other to prospects interested in doing business.

Our meetings are the second Friday of each month and last approx. 90 minutes. During that time you’ll be able to introduce yourself, your business and let the rest of the members how they may help you.

By joining the group you are committing to help yourself as well as others in the group. This makes this networking group more of a community rather than just a networking group.

Attendees will also receive a complete list of everyone in attendance so you can connect outside of the meeting.

Tony Wilkins has decided to create an atmosphere of like-minded business community leaders that don't just pay lip service to helping others get ahead but actually take an active role in helping them reach their goal. And because this is an online forum the premise for joining this group is simple.

*Pay it forward. Ask for what you need but be expected to help someone else in the group as well in a real and tangible way. This group is about accountability so we want to make sure that anyone who joins the group is there to give and receive the help they need, when they need it.

*Tell people what you need .We're all just six degrees of separation from someone who can help us with the next sale, job, etc.

* Attendees are expected to help and follow up with at least 1 person in the group within 30 days of the meeting and share the results with the group either via e-mail or at the next meeting. This encourages other like-minded people to join and gives everyone a sense that members are actually helping one another.
