About

 

Executive Networking Alliance (ENA) is an organization that was created to benefit entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, and hard-working people like you. It serves as a means to build relationships as well as an outlet to market and grow your business.

Starting a business as well as maintaining a successful one can be very difficult and pose several challenges.  Budgeting for marketing, advertising, product development, branding, and most importantly meeting potential customers can be expensive and time consuming.  Ask yourself, what is my current marketing strategy when it comes to all of this including developing an online presence and social media for my business? 

What if you had an organization that offered you that outlet to meet business owners, professionals, and potential customers instantly?  An established outlet that can promote you and your business immediately while generating leads and potential customers.  Executive Networking Alliance was created with this exact purpose in mind and can help you and your business achieve these goals.  Not only does ENA provide the web and social media based means of marketing for their members, but by meeting face-to-face twice a month it allows members to further build trust-worthy relationships with one another.

When you become a member, you’ll have the ability to connect with other members outside of your chapter for potential referrals and business opportunities.  Executive Networking Alliance opens the door to endless opportunities to both give and receive quality referrals.  The value of ENA is that it incorporates all aspects of your business.  Marketing, lead generation, referrals, mastermind discussions, search engine optimization (SEO), social media, and personal relationship building all in one.

Executive Networking Alliance also hosts several events throughout the year to enhance your overall experience as a member.  We host business networking events at local establishments to allow our members to meet other professionals in their area as well as promote local businesses.  Please visit our Calendar of Events tab to see what’s happening in your area.

Executive Networking Alliance hosts breakfast meetings twice per month to give members an open forum to meet face-to-face and promote their business.  These meetings last an hour to an hour and a half and our designed to give each member the opportunity to introduce themselves, pass referrals, and build relationships.

Every meeting begins with the chapter President making announcements pertaining to membership, upcoming events, etc.  This is followed by a guest speaker discussing topics relevant to business or a mastermind discussion among members.  These discussions can range from members products and services to general business ideas relating to marketing and growing your business.  Lastly, each member delivers their brief commercial for their business or profession.  

The idea behind our meetings is to create the most value for members in the given time frame.  ENA’s goal is to have each member come away from every meeting gaining some benefit that can be applied to their specific business or profession.  For more information on your local chapter meeting times check out our Calendar of Events tab.  To attend as a guest please complete our Guest Application located at the top.

WELCOME TO THE CONNECTED AGE

By Keith Ferrazzi from his book “Never Eat Alone”

We human beings are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others’ actions.  We survive here in dependence on others.  Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others’ activities.  For this reason, it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationship with others.

–Dalai Lama

“There has never been a time to reach out and connect than right now.  The dynamic of our society, and particularly our economy, will increasingly be defined by interdependence and interconnectivity.  In other words, the more everything becomes connected to everything and everyone else, the more we begin to depend on whom and what we’re connected with.”

The final chapter of Keith Ferrazzi’s book sums up the importance and value of building relationships.  It serves as the basic building blocks for successful networking and ENA finds it relative to our core philosophy.  Please click on the book below to read the excerpt.
