Afternoon of Lunch & Networking
2019-12-18 11:30 - 13:30 | Tea and Tea, 127 W Fairbanks Ave, Winter Park, FL, United States
Lunch is something most of us take every day. Why not have lunch and meet some new business professionals and build your business through referrals. Building business relationships through networking is one of the top ways to grow your business today.
Each meeting we will first do introductions where each person will introduce themselves and tell us a little about one another. Then we will find out what each person is looking for in a lead and see how each of us can refer to one another. Finally we will have an education spotlight from a guest speaker.
All we ask is that you purchase lunch with a drink to support this great establishment that is allowing us to gather to grow our business.
Parking is limited in front of the location but there is also public parking on Park Avenue as well. Please DO NOT park in the 7 Eleven area as you will be towed.
Come with business cards in hand, a great attitude and the determination to make new business partnerships. See you all soon.
