Whether 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 run. Nothing annoys networking event attendees more that wasting both time and money to attend a networking groups in NYC only to discover that the host is not what they wanted it to be. Angry attendees complain to at least 10 people! The cost of upset clients is your networking groups success.

Third Ingredient: Make an appropriate venue for your networking group and networking event. You may be surprised how much business is lost due to inappropriate NYC networking venues.
