We’ve talked before about using and advisory board as a sounding board and idea source for your business. Another tool in the same vein is a C-Level Networking group.
By joining this type of group you can immediately tap into the knowledge and resources of several high level executives. Most groups give industry exclusivity. You will be the only company in your industry in your group.
Building your centers of influence through these executives allows you to refer business back and forth as well as bounce ideas off of each other.
You have a third party sales group in the marketplace when you aren’t there. They are advocates and ambassadors for you and your business.
There are many companies across the country that facilitate C-Level networking groups. One such company in Houston is CEO Network Partners. They can be found on the web at ceonp.com.
