Clarksville Networking Group – Not just for Networking

The Clarksville Networking Group’s primary goal has been to help business owners and professionals meet, develop relationships, and obtain new business leads.  While this is the primary goal of the Group, it isn’t the only area where CNG can help businesses and professionals.

Many of the members in CNG are really good at what they do, be it cleaning your home’s carpeting and flooring, to helping you get a great gift for your spouse, to providing bookkeeping & tax preparation services.  Still others can provide great advertising services and products, or even set your company up with credit card processing.  But we all need some help at some point in the running of our companies.  Therefore, the Group is also focusing on educating the members on administrative areas such as employees and payroll, compliance with local, state, and federal laws, and other managerial aspects.

This isn’t going to be the dry, boring kind of education, but rather taken from the experiences of the various members to help other members overcome their obstacles to greater success.  Together, the members of this group have a large amount of experience which can help the other members become more profitable, better organized, and ready to take on more challenges.

So if your company is interested in gaining clients, experience, and revenues contact any of the members, or better yet, stop on by on the first or third Tuesday of each month at the Regency Apartments on Madison Street across from Auto Zone.  You can also find more information on our website www.clarksvillenetworkinggroup.net.  Hope to see you at the next meeting!

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.
