One-to-Ones

One-to-Ones are meetings with other members outside of the regular morning meetings. These face-to-face meetings are an opportunity to get to know other members and the services their businesses offer. One-to-Ones are particularly helpful for new members, and for this reason they are counted as leads during the first two months of membership. For all members they're a great way to help get to know others and their businesses and, in turn, boost leads.
