what

we are and do.

Forget the self-serving networking groups of the past. Enough of the same people, standing up to say the same things about themselves, week after week, month after month. Put away your referral requirements and the guilt trips that come with them. It’s time for something new.

The SBC is not a BNI group. It is not referral-required. It is not a resource that goes stale after a few visits. The Small Business Circle was created to build a community of small and local businesses who strive to be more productive, be more in-tune with their target markets and are willing to put their business in the spotlight for raw, real-time feedback from their trusted colleagues.

Meeting Agenda

Meetings begin with a scheduled marketing topic presentation focused on tips and tricks for small businesses.
The topic is then opened for discussion and participation.
- Members can pre-register to participate, or, if one of the four slots are available, can participate spur of the moment.
- Participation can include:
  1. Q & A Session: The Member can ask specific questions of the Circle for immediate feedback on their needs.
  2. Request Presentation: When a Member has a lot to explain or demonstrate, a Presentation can be made, followed by the Member’s Ask: Campaign Participation, Feedback Cards, etc.
  3. Experience Presentation: When a Member wants to share helpful advice or an experience that pertains to the monthly topic that would benefit the other Members of the Circle.
After the Open Forum, it’s time for Round the Circle for (optional) 60-Second Biz Tips to share with the group.
Rounding out the meeting is the 4-Minutes of Fame- The only self-serving option of the meeting where one person gets 4 minutes to present to the group.
Feedback Cards are exchanged at the end of the meeting, and everyone is off to their own ways with the support of their peers on their mind.
