From the lessons I've learned in organizing promotional events there were two events on my "do not touch" list, singles and networking. I thought each one was a forced activity that should happen naturally without me having to place it on a marquee. Well , I'm proud to say I've removed networking from my nightmare event list. The reason is the three other organizations I'm partnering with this coming Thursday night at Grossinger City Autoplex. The League of Professional Networkers is what we call ourselves. From day one the group has been determined to move networking beyond the business card and courtesy follow up email. Innovative thinking and a need to do things outside the box is what kept me a part of this organization.The League of Professional Networkers, is an organization whose mission is to emphasize the importance of networking in today's business world. 220 Communications, Business Spotlight Networking (BSN), LaShay Strategic Marketing Solutions and Top Notch Marketing & PR, LLC each are companies that have a diverse outreach and networks of individuals from various professional and ethnic backgrounds. Bringing these groups together, they hope to launch one of the largest networking groups in Chicago.
On June 9, 2011, the League will debut its first networking event at the Grossinger City Autoplex located at 1500 N. Dayton in Chicago. The event will offer businesses a chance to pitch to the entire audience, in addition to giving away door prizes, hosting an open bar and complimentary appetizers, free valet parking and featuring a jazz band for guest entertainment. There is also ample opportunity for businesses to sponsor the event or feature their product or service by purchasing a vendor table.
Business professionals from all fields are encouraged to attend this event. Each of the principals has sales or marketing experience. Networking is virtually an extension of this skill set, and thus, a natural pairing for launching an event of this magnitude.
"There is always a way one company can help another. It's just about making the introductions and asking the question to find out how," says Dwayne Hirsch of BSN. "Most likely than not, there is a way both businesses can benefit from their interaction."
Each company brings a strength and this simple joining of forces demonstrates the importance of small businesses coming together to support one another in their growth.
