Networking Is Not Selling

This is a testimonial from one of our members that does a great job of summing up what we do and his experience with us…

Lynn Gray (years ago!)

“I have been in I Take The Lead for over two years and it has been a wonderful experience. Four days a week, while my competitors are having lunch and fortifying themselves to go back to their office to make cold calls, I am networking with business professionals throughout the Portland/Vancouver area. Becky and Gene have built a network of groups, particularly the B to B groups, that help you build contacts, friendships and your business. I Take the Lead meetings are great for experienced and novice net-workers. The members are very good at mentoring newer members and the quarterly evening events provide additional training and networking opportunities. Networking can fundamentally change the way you do business by making you better at whatever you do. The focus moves to your clients and your networking partners, think of them first and your business explodes. On a personal note, when something happens in your life such as a death of a family member or a spouse being diagnosed with cancer…Becky and Gene are very likely the first two people you will hear from. This is clearly more than a business for them, they care about people and the growth of I Take the Lead reflects this caring. I highly recommend I Take the Lead for any business professional.”
