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

Introduction
This week Brandon will talk about one of his favorite topics NETWORKS!!! Brandon spent the last 7 years traveling 4 midwestern states working with BNI members and other business professionals to grow their business using networking. We will dive into the types of networking groups out there. Explain the concept behind VCP and help you understand who you should be networking with and why. If you did not listen to last week's show on Strategic connections, you should jump on the podcast in the community of commerce because a lot of your successful network had a lot to do with your strategic partners.

Have a great business week.
