HOW WE HELP SBN creates opportunities for you to
CONNECT with the right people and begin to
CULTIVATE relationships, which will ultimately lead to your
SUCCESS. Through our proven structured networking models, Strategic Business Network events offer an alternative networking experience to the traditional formats of social networking, trade shows and community events.
With the demands placed on professionals today, limited time exists to attend trade shows, seminars and other industry gatherings. Travel time and cost further hinder accessibility to such functions.
SBN offers 90-minute, local events during breakfast, lunch or after hours to fit conveniently into your schedule, at a fraction of the cost. The ROI, measured in new and relevant contacts, is far superior with Strategic Business Network.
SBN networking opportunities are
TARGETED and
STRUCTURED by design.
TARGETED Strategic Business Network constructs events around an Industry Cluster framework. Clusters are defined as business sectors/segments within a given marketplace or industry whose interaction fosters a potential relationship such as referrals, partnerships, collaborations, or strategic alliances. Attendees are targeted based on industry relationships, collaboration and referral opportunities.
TARGETED groups ensure that each interaction is relevant and mutually beneficial. SBN partners with a variety of associations & professional organizations acting often as facilitator to engage and involve various industry segments which should interact but rarely have a targeted forum to do so. SBN actively secures ongoing feedback from companies, participants and trade associations to define these clusters.
Examples of industry Clusters:
Technology/Telecommunications
|
|
Entrepreneurs |
Marketing/PR/Advertising/Media
|
|
CPAs/Bankers/Attorneys
|
| Architects/Engineers/Gen. Contractors |
|
Sales Executives

| Hispanic Business |
|
Non Profit/Trade Associations |
| Young Professionals |
|
