Member Steve Bentley Testimonial Re SBCN

Submitted by Linda Ockwell-Jenner on December 12, 2011 - 12:55am

I've been a member of SBCN for a few years and value it as one of my most important networking groups.

SBCN's grassroots nature allows members to concentrate on forming relationships rather then just cultivating leads. I value that SBCN members are actively involved socially and I view many SBCN members as friends.

Linda and Dave, as coaches and mentors, have given greatly of their time and energy is assisting me develop my business in terms of social networking and marketing. I highly recommend SBCN as a vital part of any small business network.

When I was ready to start my business I knew networking would play a pivotal part of promoting my company. While I had tried various other networking groups and functions i found many of them focused on sales tactics rather than actual networking. My opinion changed when I joined the SBCN. Through the SBCN I have made many wonderful connections to business owners of every industry and offering.

We had a great experience at the Small Business Showcase last year.  The showcase had an impressive turnout, with many B2B visitors coming through.  The additional recognition that sponsorship afforded us was well worth the investment.  I’m excited to be sponsoring the event again, and looking forward to meeting everyone in November!

The SBCN has been a tremendous resource for myself and the growth of My IT Guy. When I started with the SBCN in 2004 I was just starting the business and was terribly shy. Networking was not something that came naturally to me. However the friendly and welcoming group made me feel right at home, and over the years has helped me to grow out of that shell, and along the way I’ve made a wealth of valuable contacts and rich relationships.

I am going into my second year with SBCN as a member. I look forward to attending the meetings each month.

Everyone is so knowledgeable about what is going on in the community and who's who. When direct business transactions have not occurred everyone plus myself are willing to share every opportunity we can via  contacts or advise to assist in the growth our businesses.

New networking events, tradeshows and seminars are in the upcoming agenda which means growth both personally and professionally. If you are not a member or haven't even attended a meeting I highly recommend you do.
