Members of the TBBB have developed Guidelines to Networking that have proven effective in just about any business situation you can imagine. Meetings are based on this guidance.

Print out the guidelines! You'll find them useful from time to time. Yes, of course seasoned veterans of the business world know all these tips -- but a quick review every now and again sharpens your focus and renews your enthusiasm.

Members of the TBBB also have developed Speaker Guidelines to assist in developing weekly member presentations.

A typical meeting agenda:

Call to Order
Introduction of Members
Guest Speaker
Administrative Matters
Leads/Thanks
Announcements
Adjourn

Members introduce themselves and describe what constitutes a quality referral for their business, in 30 seconds or less. (Guests, 90 seconds.)

Guest speakers are TBBB members describing their businesses, who they seek as new customers, and how they can complement services offered by other TBBB members. Ten minutes are allocated for the presentation.

Member networking is encouraged before and after the formal agenda.



The Directors are quite aware that time is money, especially during the business day. Meetings are kept on track, on time and on target. Dick Nielsen Director, 2000	*Members often create "strategic alliances" to help their clients as a result of the trust and confidence they develop in each other.* Ray Proch Director, 2001 and Robin Webb	Tampa Bay is really a small town when it comes to business relationships. You must work together to prosper. God Bless America! Ed McCaffery A Founding Member of TBBB
