Instant Intros

"Speed Dating" for Businesses

What does "speed dating" have to do with Midlantic Business Alliance?

"Speed dating" is nothing more than marketing, and Midlantic Business Alliance
(MBA) felt a new marketing concept in one area of society suggested it would
work in business...so we did it.

It worked and 22 companies sat down with each other in face-to-face meetings
and started doing business.

Business Connections Groups - A No-Brainer? We Think So...
Cold calls or warm visits - a no-brainer? It might be. Here are six more reasons why we think so.

1 - You'll receive qualified leads (it's a rule).

2 - Only one business type per group (no fistfights).

3 - Those 20 people all know 20 more people who need your widget.

4 - Most meetings are in the morning.

Time enough to grab your leads and breakfast and arrive at your office before the morning mail.

5 - All your leads group members are business owners like you. A good way to exchange brilliant thoughts.

6 -There's no obligation. Your first visit is FREE, then you can decide.

MBA has area Business Connections Groups within the Delaware Valley. These groups help member companies build their business by providing an opportunity to network by exchanging pre-qualified sales leads. Most groups meet twice a month and offer members a uniquely exclusive networking opportunity. Members enjoy breakfast, networking and a leads exchange that can result in new business opportunities. This is one more way MBA members can use their Alliance membership to grow their business.

There is a $25 annual leads group fee plus breakfast costs. For more information, contact MBA's Hazel Smarowsky at (800) 533-3732 ext. 103 or e-mail hsmarowsky@mbainc.org.
