Who are the
Breakfast Networkers?
| We are a friendly group of
local business professionals mainly from but not limited to the
Lee County area, who meet for breakfast on alternate Wednesday
mornings. There are no category exclusions or exclusives. All
are welcome to attend. There are no membership dues and you pay
only for the breakfast you order from the menu. Our meetings are
organized by Carolyn Graves of
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. |

What
happens at a Breakfast Networkers Meeting?
| Attendees are asked to arrive
by 7:45 in order to place breakfast orders before 8am. The
meeting starts promptly at 8am starting with a round table
"marketing minute" delivered by each attendee, describing their
business and what type of referral or clients they are looking
for. At each meeting we
have a key speaker from our membership who has the opportunity
to speak for 8-10 minutes. This is an opportunity to educate the
group more in depth about their product or services and take
questions from the group.
Following the speaker, we share
announcements of upcoming events and hold a 50/50 raffle for
those who wish to participate (Tickets are only $1.00).
Attendees are welcome and encouraged to bring a raffle gift to
increase exposure of their business if they so wish.

Why should
I want to attend a Breakfast Networkers Meeting?
| Our group is an alternative to
fee-based membership networking groups. If you already belong to
other groups, you will find the Breakfast Networkers compliment
them by allowing for a supplemental and affordable outlet
to quality business networking without charging additional fees
to participate. Our meetings are voluntary and there are no
penalties for missing a breakfast.
We have an average attendance of
30-40 business professionals at each meeting and we get you out
the door and off to your busy day by 9am sharp. You will meet
quality business professionals, build relationships which in
turn become excellent referral opportunities.

| Simple! Join us at the next
scheduled breakfast meeting. Our host, Carolyn Graves of
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, will take

as a new attendee at the very start of the meeting.
Be sure to bring plenty of business
cards and have your 30-second "marketing minute" ready when you
are introduced. And if you're shy, bring a friend or associate.
All are welcome to attend.
