“Networks of people who trust each other, who talk to each other, who encourage other friends to give permission to a marketer, who then take that permission and turns it ultimately into a sale -that sequence of events is where I think the future is.”

– Seth Godin

Come To Our Women’s Networking Group In The Beaches
In Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Networking is a Marketing Activity I always recommend. If you want to build relationships and get leads it’s the best way to do it whether you’re an extrovert and “love” to talk or an introvert who doesn’t like to be in the “public eye”.

After my stroke in 2005 I attended two events regularly (before the stroke it was one of my favourite ways to meet new people and re-connect with others – I attended many and met lots of people at them.). It got me out of the house and with other like – minded women business owners.

They were both canceled ☹ After sitting at home alone for a couple of months, I thought … “why don’t I begin my own?” I know lots of people and I’ve co-owned a business where we created events with 300 people – this would be a “no-brainer”.

So I did.

I created my own networking events!

We have a place in the Beaches in Toronto where women business owners come every month to learn something from our speaker and be with other women of like-minds.

See the listing about our meetings in SNAP newspaper

We’ve created a community that is safe and where “everybody knows your name”. This networking event is small and intimate – the venue neighbourly and run by the owner himself. We have our get togethers at The Pie Shack on Queen Street East which is owned and operated by a wonderful man – Tim McConvey (he even lives in the Beach!).

How to get notices of meetings

Every month I send out a notice to those on my list about the upcoming event and the speaker and her topic. If you’d like to be added to this list contact me and I’ll add you.

Fees

There’s no membership fee so you can come as often as you like. And it only costs $20 (Canadian) each time!
