One-to-Ones

Sometimes called Dance Cards, One-to-Ones are meetings between chapter members outside of the regular weekly networking meetings. One-to-Ones are an opportunity to build relationships with other members and better understand the services their businesses offer. This accelerates the pace of building trust that leads to the generation of referrals.
