Our networking event on May 11, 2006 was a great success. We had a small, but “network savvy” group of people who came to learn and form alliances. Almost all of the people who came made at least one business connection and everyone said that they learned something from that evening. We want to thank all those who showed up and became the founders of our networking club. Now that the “cat is out of the bag”, we can reveal to all of you what our special announcement was that evening.
Introducing…our Focus Point Networking Club!
Our networking club will allow you to increase your bottom line in two ways:
1. Network with other members of the club and offer a discount off your products or services to “members only”
2. Purchase products and services from other members of the club at a discounted savings
So now you can offer your company’s products and services to other businesses who want and need what you have to offer and they will want to buy from you because they know you from the club and want to take advantage of the savings that you offer.
There are no exclusives like other networking groups, so one of your competitors may also join our group and we leave the specials and discounting to each of you. Basically, it’s capitalism at its finest – each of you can differentiate what sets you apart and can compete for the other members’ business – keeps everyone at the top of their game.
Of course, if you are the first in your field to join, the field is all yours to establish your company until another member in your field joins. So the early bird gets the worm!
To insure the integrity of our club, we ask for businesses references that we will check – this allows all of our members to shop in confidence, knowing that they are dealing with reliable businesses. Why is this important? Because another benefit of our club is that it is virtual.
Virtual? Yes, just think – you never have to step out of your home or business to attend another networking event and you will still get all the same benefits! Of course, we hope that you will join us for a delicious meal and some in-person networking and learning, but the beauty is that you don’t have to in order to benefit. We do this because we know how busy your lives are, so we want to make this club different. We listen to what everyone said they were looking for in a networking group and tried to deliver on it.

Membership in this unique club is $499 a year. But for the first 60 days, we are offering the membership at less than half price – only $199! And the best part is, the membership fee locks in at the rate you started with.
