We started this community in response to gaps in understanding what responsibilities fall under Business Development and other components of the sales funnel; i.e. Branding, Advertising, Public Relations, Marketing etc. We help identify the disconnect in communication and more importantly share best practices to obtain a much better result.

Meetings will be both Educational and Social, connecting and helping each other is a top priority. We look forward to your involvement in our community.
