There are no outside speakers. Members identify themselves and their product or service at each meeting. You will be invited to display your product or service on a predetermined schedule. No conflicts of interests are allowed.
Leads are much more likely to close when accompanied by a referral name. That likelihood becomes even greater if a third party actually sets up the appointment. Compare that with cold calling, which has a very low closure percentage.
