I have been a member of Nutmeg Business Networking for over 7 years now. When I was first invited to a meeting by Skip Comstock I truly wasn't sure what to expect. I was never very comfortable speaking in front of a group of people and I knew this venue would expect it. They were very inviting and made it easy. It has become my training ground for selling and speaking to groups of people. For that alone joining was well worth it!
The amount of referred business I have received over the years is hard to convey. Nutmeg Business Networking has without any doubt been some of the best marketing money I have ever spent. I intend to be an active member for as long as I can work.

I received several referrals for work right away, within one month of joining the Nutmeg Networking Group. I find that the members do more than just meet on Wednesdays — they actively listen and carefully consider how they can help your business, knowing that the synergy of the group will help all member businesses succeed.

Nutmeg has been part of my marketing plan since 1999. I have not only met new associates, colleagues, and friends through the group, it has also provided me with some very credible referrals and ultimately some very long-standing clients. The other benefit of the group is the knowledge we gain from learning about all different kinds of businesses. My business interactions with others has taken much more depth because of my relationships with the members of Nutmeg.

Since joining Nutmeg Business Networking, I have gained a tremendous amount of business knowledge. I have been in the wireless industry for 16 years and can talk my business language with fluidity. Now, thanks to the knowledge base of these members, I have been able to talk their language and integrate that into my customer conversations. While the leads generated from this group have been fantastic, I get even more from gaining information about the other members' businesses. I have also, many times, called on my fellow members for advice before calling on certain vertical markets or target customers.

My carpentry and home improvement business has continued strong right through the recession and is really booming now, thanks to Nutmeg Business Networking and the word-of-mouth buzz that it generates. This group acts like my own sales force, always on the lookout for that next new business opportunity. We get to know each other and our businesses well so that leads are not just slips of paper in a basket, but good quality, screened prospects ready to buy.

One intangible aspect of our group which I feel is priceless is how much I have grown from listening to what other members have to say and how they run their businesses. We all come from very diverse backgrounds — I cannot begin to tell future members how much I have learned from other members. Come and see for yourself.
