Episode D1.005 Business Etiquette

IBGR - RESULTS Radio Network. Everything a business owner needs to start, grow or exit a business. Come grow with us.

Introduction
Good day and hope you are looking forward to a productive week.

This week we are announcing our new community - The Community of Commerce for all insiders. Everyone who has JOINED US and become an inside we are moving off of the weebly web platform to a community site on Tribe. 

This will provide an opportunity to share information, ask questions, and gain support for starting, growing, or exiting your business.

It is our version of the Chamber of Commerce - what it could have been instead of what it has become. This community has one goal - your success as a business owner to build generational wealth for your family. That growth will create more and better jobs in your local community.

It is a stand alone (outside the control of the arbitrary large providers) platform that provides entrepreneurs and business owners a space for the free and open exchange of ideas.

As a member of IBGR's Community of Commerce you can:

1. Follow other users including the OnAir Talent and Executive Team at the station.
2. Ask and answer questions about starting, growing, and exiting the business from our OnAir team and each other.
3. Follow any member of the Community to stay abreast of their latest business insights as well as building your own following.
4. Start discussions to stimulate input from other members of the Community.
5. Create and vote in Community polls.
6. Post and comment on posts and blogs.
7. Access and share content entrepreneurs and business owners can use.

We built this beyond the reach of the 'masters of the universe' so you can speak your mind.

On a closing note, if you want to know what drives everything we do - checkout this article: from Australia (click here).

And that is just restaurants - what about everybody else?

Have a great business week.

Show Objectives
The heart of business etiquette is about building strong relationships with your network by fostering better communication. This can only happen when those you network with feel secure and comfortable about you as a person and a professional. Although basic business etiquette may vary from country to country, some basics stand the test of time and geography.
