Purpose of CBWN:

CBWN provides the forum for you to connect and help grow each other’s businesses.

Best practices include:

• Sharing business cards – Intent is to learn about each other’s business and be able to refer.
• If given a referral, may we suggest contact within 24 to 48 hours. Intro email contact works very well.  Your response reflects on both you and your referral partners.
• Learn about each other’s business. This is an opportunity to learn how to refer each other, not necessarily a sales meeting.  CBWN’ers are your referral partners and connectors.  The main  intent is relationship building; learning more about each other and your businesses. This is recommended in and outside of CBWN meetings.
• Hosting a Showcase tables is your opportunity to educate your referral partners and brag about what you do. If you are unable to fulfil your commitment, you are respectfully requested to advise CBWN owners seven (7) days prior to the meeting.
• Honor your offering by under-promising and over-delivering. Be clear on what you are offering and terms of your guarantees (if applicable).
• Respect each other’s time. If you set a time to meet, ensure you honor it.  Value each other’s time.
• Open and honest communication is extremely important. If you meet with a guest outside of CBWN consider what your intention is for the meeting and be honest with the person you are meeting. Meeting with colleagues is an opportunity to collaborate and share and might foster a greater relationship and opportunity which may not be evident if you focus on one agenda.
• Privacy: Be respectful of information shared. Protect other people’s information.
• Issues between parties – Should be resolved between the two partners and not by CBWN, in or out of CBWN meetings.

Thank you for choosing to educate and share your expertise with the CBWN Community! We continue not have a fee to participate to speak (other than the event fee) and ask that you help CBWN promote your speaking at our events as a prudent gesture for us all. It is win-win, as we have top-notch speakers and a large Community for you to address. Let us both promote your speaker spotlight for the meeting so we all have wider audience reach and grow our businesses together. Collaboration is the key at CBWN. We look forward to seeing CBWN tagged on your social media in promotion of your speaking at the meeting.

Please note all attendees must PREPAY AND PRE REGISTER.  Special meals cannot be accepted within 72 hours of meetings.  All pricing includes gratuity to the venue.

 

We love referrals, bring a guest and you could win a free showcase table!!

While we love children, please no children allowed at business luncheons.

Spotlight Speakers

Two spotlight speakers share their expertise and knowledge direct from their business experience. Business women will go away with real tips and knowledge.

Speakers must have attended at least five meetings (not consecutive).  Evening meetings precedent will be given to Loyalty Participants first.

They must be a regular and frequent attendee to qualify.

We do not charge anything extra for this unique opportunity but in return we ask that you to help increase our reach by inviting 3 new or ‘boomerang’ guests who join us for lunch. Bringing 3 new guests ensures your speaker spotlight will remain at no extra charge and your luncheon fee will be on us. If you would rather pay for 3 tickets and give them away to 3 join us for lunch, you can do that also. If you are a mover and shaker and bring 5 new women who join us for lunch, your speaking spotlight remains at no extra charge PLUS you receive your luncheon free and the bonus of a Marketplace Table at that meeting for free also.
