How to Speak Effectively
at meetings of the
Tampa Bay Business Builders

No one is compelled to bring a lead to a meeting. TBBB members work for each other through friendship and reciprocal favors rather than quotas. We try to eliminate cold calls through referrals. And we don't just make referrals -- we work to make QUALIFIED referrals for one another.

At every meeting, we have ten-minute presentation by one of our members. Here are some hints on how to use your time to best advantage. These techniques work best when each member has been thoroughly educated in what other members need and what the other members are seeking in new business opportunities.

Members of the Tampa Bay Business Builders approach networking seriously.

Don't make a sales pitch! Start with these guidelines when making a member presentation. The purpose of your presentation is to tell other TBBB members what you look for in a referral so they can guide qualified referrals to you. The better you communicate this information, the better your TBBB referrals will be!

Outline for Member Presentations

  • Your name and company

  • Your role in the company

  • Services or products that make your company special

  • What constitutes a good lead for you

  • What qualifies a lead as successful

  • Your ideal prospect

  • Questions and answers

TBBB focuses on knowing exactly what each member is looking for in a qualified referral. We seek out the connections for each other.

Attendance is of paramount importance! You can't reciprocate if you aren't present.
