Small businesses are falling behind in deploying current technologies more effectively in an increasingly competitive commerce environment. Competition is increasing world-wide and affecting all businesses. It is the large corporations that have been able to take advantage of the new technologies and have started to push smaller companies out of niches they once dominated.
Small group interaction, personalized communications and speed are the advantages that small businesses have, which they must use to compete better. BizBuilders Network helps them to do that with a highly sophisticated strategy. This strategy maximizes small business relationships and networking, using technology to facilitate community and generate customer referrals.
Relationships and networking on the one hand, and speed on the other, are at the core of community and enterprise and offer the most important competitive advantages that small businesses have.
With BizBuilders Network, community is a positive communications context which channels customer referrals by maximizing member interactions at the personal level with regular or virtual meetings. The personal interactions are then enhanced with additional informational and communications structures such as an online forum, membership area and email facilitation. “We believe that an online forum is the most effective way to collaborate and generate targeted customers, when combined with business networking and collaboration,” stated Jody Allen, NetPartners Marketing customer support manager.
The BizBuilders Network system includes: (1) an online referral program, (2) a weekly physical or virtual meeting format, (3) online forum boards to facilitate BBN member collaboration and customer communications, and (4) a comprehensive marketing support program. “Our goal is to build a complete system that levels the competitive enterprise environment for smaller companies,” stated Mr. Allen. “This is what small businesses and solo entrepreneurs need more than anything.”
The core of the BizBuilders Network system are the weekly meetings, reinforced with BBN’s online support system to multiply results. In addition to the weekly meeting schedule, there are other organizational elements that make the meetings work. These are leadership and participation incentives, internet support processes, reporting and tracking software, member dues, “contributions” and credits. Moreover, BizBuilders Network uses a proven, innovative meeting and participation structure that has proven to be the most effective format which has been proven to get the best referral results.
BizBuilders Network (BBN) offers a powerful system that gets small companies customers. It combines the power of personal interaction with the efficiency of information and communication technology.
