“Keeping up” in business is a whole job within itself. Besides running the business…front office, back office, field, etc., an entrepreneur must keep the product fresh, adapt the marketing plan often, and motivate staff in a hyper active job market. Mountains of written literature exist on a variety of new and “tried and true” approaches to keeping all aspects of your business on the cutting edge, yet somehow nothing seems to compare to a conversation with other business owners. The concept of sharing real life experiences and solutions between two business owners while working in a little marketing at the same time hits home quicker than anything written text has to offer.
We found ourselves fortunate since business owners come to us daily to utilize our office and business services. When the meeting of the day is finished, most are as eager to share their business experiences with us as they are to hear of our own experiences. We’ve found feedback from these conversations to be priceless as we’ve improved our product several times, improved our website’s (www.PlazaExecutive.com) search engine position, and expanded our product line into areas we didn’t even know existed and which took little investment on our part to complete. All of these benefits came as a result of some casual networking.
We are ready to take networking to the next level here at Plaza Executive Suites. Being a purveyor of office and conference space in mid-town Phoenix and being centrally located to the entire Valley of the Sun, we’re currently planning a monthly small business networking group of our own. We’d like to host a monthly group of valley small business leaders who want to get together simply to discuss their experiences from a business perspective. The format and meeting particulars will be determined by the charter group. If you are interested in a monthly gathering of this kind, please call us at 602-424-5700.
We wish everyone the benefits that come with networking in the business world.
