What is Friends in Business?

Friends in Business is an association of local community business professionals representing individual specialties networked together to refer quality business prospects to other members of the group.  This "team" can, in a real sense, be considered part of a member’s marketing, advertising, and sales force.

Friends in Business members meet at a set time and place for weekly meetings.  These meetings have agendas, presentations by group members, as well as time for conducting group business.  Most importantly, each meeting ends with the passing of referrals from group members.  Members are also encouraged to meet with each other for personal one on one lunches, or other gatherings in order to get to know each other on a more personal level.

In addition, team members are encouraged to continually seek out and invite other specialists who would be an appropriate fit to the team to visit and possibly be invited to join the team. However, once a business specialty is represented and so long as the individual representing that specialty is a member in good standing, that specialty is “closed” and others from that specialty will not be allowed to join the team.  There is a limit of one team member per specialty.
