I admit that I was one of these individuals that could not see the value in a women’s networking group. I am all for equality and remember when women complained about all the men’s groups. So, unless it had both men and women, I would not join.

Fast Forward to Today

I did sign up for the Bold, Beautiful, and In Business entrepreneur group for women with CIBN Connect. I had mixed feelings, but it quickly became a positive experience.

I like networking meetings, getting to know individuals, and the speakers pass on outstanding knowledge. But CIBN Connect has built more than networking groups. They have built a community where we help each other. This might be with sharing content, registering for courses, collaborating, referring, and helping us grow personally and in business.

It is no secret we are there to build our businesses and increase sales. So CIBN Connect gives us that opportunity with its policies of booking a meeting in the meeting, chatting with each other, sharing your contact information so others can reach out to you, speaking opportunities, and updating members on what you need and are doing. Most importantly, we build relationships where we trust, know, and like each other. We are not alone.

Why a Women’s Group

At the request of CIBN Connect members, the women’s group was established in 2022 and has quickly become popular with members and guests.

The quality of speakers and the outstanding team putting it together on the first Tuesday of the month has made it a safe and friendly atmosphere.

Check it out if a CIBN Connect member invites you as a guest. If you are intrigued to attend, you can ask a member to come to it for free or join the meeting by registering at https://thecibn.com/events/.

I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your business.
