ANATOMY OF WEEKLY MEETING

The first 15 minutes of each weekly meeting is an opportunity for members and visitors to get to know each other before the meeting starts. 

Each week our Networking Education Coordinator presents the group with tips about growing a thriving business.

Portland Business Network celebrates those who actively help other members grow their business by meeting 1 to 1 to learn more about how to promote other's businesses; by inviting visitors to meetings; and by referring clients and referral sources to fellow members and visitors.

Each member and visitor is given 60 seconds to teach the group how to identify a good client and how to make a solid referral.  It's a great opportunity to ask for connections to specific individuals or businesses.

On the first Tuesday of each month a guest speaker presents a topic aimed at improving the way our members and visitors do business.  The remaining Tuesday meetings feature PBN members who present the group with a deeper understanding of the member's business and how to identify and make a good referral. 

This is the highlight of the meeting when members and visitors announce the connections they made during the previous week with and for others in the group.
