SME Downtown Business Connection members (in non-competitive industries) meet weekly to exchange business leads and provide essential feedback. It's the ultimate networking vehicle.

Members get 2 minutes to present at each meeting. One member is featured each week and speaks for 10-15 minutes.

Each business is represented by only one representative from that profession.

• Conflicts of interest are not peritted.
• Network members trade highly qualified leads via a lead tracking program within our network.
• Establishing long-term friendships
• Loyalty within our Chapter to our fellow members.
• High ethics and standards within our membership base.
• Roundtable Meetings with guest speakers on educational subjects pertaining to increasing business and improving business skills.
• Network members are listed on this website
• Membership through the Sales & Marketing Executives.

No one is compelled to bring a lead to a meeting. Members work for each other through friendship and reciprocal favors rather than quotas. We try to eliminate cold calls through referrals. And we don't just make referrals -- we work to make QUALIFIED referrals for one another.

At every meeting, we have ten-minute presentation by one of our members. Here are some hints on how to use your time to best advantage. These techniques work best when each member has been thoroughly educated in what other members need and what the other members are seeking in new business opportunities.
