Since the start, the Rotary Business Networking Series has been open to all Rotarians and "not-yet" Rotarians, who are interested in doing more business with Rotarians more often because we are people of integrity who value the 4-Way Test in business as we do in life.
Business Networking Success Stories: The series been a productive element of business growth and development over time. At every session, Rotarians share excellent business insight, resource, and solutions. Typically, attendees leave with 2, 3 or more actionable strategies to enhance their business or career.
<The next gathering on Tuesday, November 19 from 8-9 a.m. at Mel's Commonwealth Cafe in Wayland. RSVP here to attend. >
Here are a few "success stories:"
Katya Portnaya, President, Boston Carriage: "I met Warren Green through our Rotary Business Networking. Our industry has some of the highest insurance rates in the country. So when my our costs went up this year, even though we are one of the safest operators out there, by close to 30%, Warren was the first person I called. Warren is a consultant who helps business owners sell their businesses. His business knowledge and contacts reach far and wide, and so I knew he could help. After a quick call and an introduction to a person that could help, within a month our company was able to save almost $40K on insurance costs. Building trust and relationships in business is an everyday process that should be part of everyone’s habit routine. Had Warren and I not met in our Business Networking our company would have had been in a much more precarious position this year."
Jan Luchetti, Jan Luchetti Interiors: Through the Rotary Business Networking Series, I have received and provided many referrals. One referral I would like to highlight came from Aaron Roy with SERVPRO. He connected me with a contractor who I then hired for a very large project in Sudbury, MA.
John Marchiony, PRO New England: Through our network, I've received about 10 introductions to general contractors, subcontractors, and vendors who are high-potential prospective members of our business association focussed on the remodeling industry. Warren Green has also generously hosted meetings at his office space for our Club for his outstanding photography class, one of my networking groups, and my PRO New England Board. (One key to success is being willing to ask for support with no expectation of any particular outcome.)
