If you’re a Chamber of Commerce, Referral Club, Women’s Networking Group, Open Networking Group, Business Association, Special Interest Group or Business Opportunity Meeting make sure that you market the precise type of networking event you own. Nothing upsets networking event attendees more that losing both time and money to attend a networking groups in Long Island only to learn that the group is not what they expected it to be. Annoyed clients complain to at least 10 people! The price of upset customers is your networking groups success.
