Check Out Cup of Coffee Networkers
I’ve recently become part of an awesome networking group called “Cup of Coffee Networkers,” started by Joe Sting, a private investigator in the Tulsa, OK area. Whether you’re a small business person looking to expand your peer or client network, or a person wanting to network as part of a job search, I strongly suggest you find out where Cup of Coffee Networkers are meeting in your area, and make attending the meetings part of your routine. Currently, there is no fee to join – your only expense is the cup of coffee (or whatever you want to eat or drink), and your time. The benefits are priceless.
