Last week at the June 29th LeTip meeting, we discussed the importance of

networking within our LeTip group, and beyond LeTip to other groups as well.

These other groups include card exchanges at the local Chamber of Commerce at a

convenient location near you, a member’s Mosque, synagogue, or Church group,

business card exchanges including; The Northeast Philadelphia Chamber of

Commerce, a group that focuses primarily on selling to the IT field, the Yardley

Business Association, the Holistic Fair, the Feasterville Business Association, the

Jenkintown Rotary, and many more.

These groups, so long as they are not LeTip competitors, (i.e a group that has

one business per chapter, and follows the LeTip rules for tipping)allow the possibility

of expanding your business exposure.

It is in this spirit of network expansion of your own business, that you ‘keep an ear

out” for prospective members. Please remember to ask the potential attendee;  if

they wish to  increase their business, meet you along with several associates at

7:00 AM at the Twining Fire Hall in Trevose, PA. next to the Bucks County

Technology Center.

If they ask you “is it a LeTip meeting”? You simply curl up in a ball and do not answer.

The energy in a LeTip meeting will do the rest.

See you tomorrow,

Frank Cuthbertson
