CNG Meeting December 7th, 2011

The Clarksville Networking Group held it’s first meeting in December today. We had a great meeting with several new visitors and returning members.

On the Agenda was the topic of the CNG Holiday / Christmas Party which will be held December 13th. This is a fun time of year to come together with friends and business partners and CNG is no different. Our annual holiday party will be a lot of fun with great food, and gifts to be shared. Look for an update next week.

CNG members gave their 45 second presentation as well as passed leads. We also had a 10 minute presentation from Elaine Murray, Mary Kay Independent Sales Director.

Elaine has been involved with Mary Kay Cosmetics for over 13 years. She is a sales director and has won numerous awards. Her presentation today covered potential gifts for the holidays. Elaine also gave us her goals and plans for the next year and how we could help her achieve them. http://www.marykay.com/emurray/

Thinking of Starting 2012 Off Right?

 

A good way to start off a new year is to try something new or something different. If you haven’t tried joining a networking group, stop on by and see the Clarksville Networking Group on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays each month. They meet at the Riverview Inn which is located downtown Clarksville Tennessee.

What can a networking group do for your business? Well first off, you have the option to introduce yourself and your business to other business owners in the group. In turn as you build a relationship with those members they will go out into the community and spread the word about your business. They become a business referral source for you.

Gain experience in public speaking. Does it terrify you to get in front of people? Do you forget what to say? With the help of the networking group, they can teach you how to give a 45 second “elevator pitch” as well as give a 10 minute presentation to the group.

Would you like more education on networking, advertising, social networking, website SEO, sales presentations and more? The Clarksville Networking Group has many experienced members that have been in business for years. Each CNG meeting has an education piece that is handed out to each member.

Are you having trouble getting found on the internet? CNG members get a free page about their business, plus help from group members on website design and getting found on the internet including Google.

If you are a business owner, sales associate, or other professional that would like to network, feel free to come and join the Clarksville Networking Group.
