The Paris Business Referral Network

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=88871259824

A group of motivated business professionals who like to network and make things happen! Oh, and we love business!! :-)

If you were to ask most small business owners or sales professionals how they get most of their business how would they answer?

Referrals!

This group will help small business owners and sales professionals increase their business by developing quality relationships. We are hoping to establish good long-term relationships which are the basis of a good referral network.

Additionally to our monthly meetups, we'll meet weekly every Wednesday morning at 8:00 AM- 8:30AM.

Join us to network with over 700 local and international entrepreneurs, get support from us to host your own event that presents your company and attend presentations/trainings presented by a fellow entrepreneur.

To network you can use direct email, the message board, attend our events, attend our monthly casual meet ups or host your own event to sell your product/services or market your company.

"There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave." D. CARNEGIE

Would YOU be interested in giving a short 5-7 minutes presentation during our Business Referral Wednesday Breakfasts? Please, let me know!

Would you like to HOST a meetup of the group? Please, email me!

We act on the law of reciprocity - the more you give, the more you will receive!

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." T.S. Eliot
