By addressing the individual gaps in knowledge we can tailor and detail our outputs to provide more effective solutions to minority business issues.
Creating a real and progressive change that can collectively support our community!
Louisville Black Business Network is a professional networking group dedicated to connecting local businesses and creating connections that are difficult to develop otherwise. The best business is referred business – That’s why LBBN really do work for our members.You can acquire new customers easier and quicker than your competition. Our members are consistently referring business to each other, so you could have up to 30+ members promoting and recommending your products and services by word-of-mouth to their contacts. As well as improving your presentation skills; boosting your confidence and gaining referrals, you will form strong relationships and synergies with professional business owners who are there to help you. Network members get to know, like and trust each other and are happy to recommend each others products and services, generating quality referrals, for you to convert into good quality business. Our fortnightly meetings provide the platform to network in a professionally structured environment that is relaxed and pressure free.
Being a member is literally one of the best ways to help you build a better business. We help you create opportunities to take your business to the next level; making it more profitable, more effective and more successful than you could have ever thought possible.
Our structured, supportive, professional meetings are a great place to gain practical advice & learn valuable business skills whilst enjoying yourself.
Members of your Network become your unpaid sales and marketing team, actively seeking new business opportunities and referrals for you and your business.
Word of mouth recommendation & referral is and will remain the best way to win new business.
Each member and all visitors are given 60-90 seconds to do a quick presentation to promote their business. At every meeting one member is given 10 minutes to carry out a more comprehensive ‘Showcase’ presentation about their business.
There is NO PRESSURE on members or visitors to give referrals at every single meeting, as this only encourages people to give worthless referrals that are unlikely to turn into business. Our members are more interested in Quality NOT Quantity.
There are lots of Business Networking clubs, Business Networking Groups, Business Networking Chapters and Business networking events around the World. So do go and have a look at them all, but don’t be fooled by the number of people that you see in the room. Don’t forget that Networking is a process NOT an Event. See which type of Business club, Business Group, Business Chapter suits your personal style and then decide which one to join. Networking does not happen overnight and the more you put into it the more you will get back.
Our Network is NOT like BNI we are NOT like 4Networking ( 4N ), we are not like Business for Breakfast ( BfB ) and we are not like any Chamber of Commerce. We take all the best elements from various networking groups and strive to ensure that our Network are the ‘best of breed’.
Don’t take our word for it, why not attend as a visitor and experience the Network for yourself?
