community, which operates like a small town, where everyone knows
everyone and you can trust GCEN members to do the best job possible.
Club members are selected for their expertise, competence, and dependability.
Whatever you might be looking for - personal grooming, insurance service,
major appliances, accounting, attorney services, etc. - GCEN members
can take care of you. Gold Coast Executive Network offers one stop
shopping in South Florida.
Gold Coast Executive
Network is a young, dynamic business group, 17 years old.

Membership

one auto mechanic, one chiropractor, one florist, one office supply
company, etc. We are a not for profit corporation, with by-laws
governed by a board of directors. Club members meet every
Tuesday . . . the first Tuesday of the month for a breakfast
meeting . . . each Tuesday thereafter at a member's
place of business from 5:30 to 7:30 in the evening.
As a local
business club, we are concerned about our community and strive to
give time, money and energy back. We sponsor charities within
our club membership - the Humane Society of Broward County, the
Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County and the Children's Diagnostic
& Treatment Center.
Our
end of the month social networking event is always on the last tuesday.
Networking is a method
of marketing businesses through personal recommendations.
With competition as stiff as it is these days, networking can be
the source of additional business. Gold Coast Executive Network
believes this personal commitment is the best possible advertisement.
Members receive a sales and referal base, peer group support network,
education opportunities, and social functions.
How Does Networking Work?
- Promote fellow club
members. The principle of networking is to get to know the
skills of fellow members so you can recommend them. By concentrating
on giving and helping other club members, your reward, will in
time, follow. The networker's by-line is "Givers Get."
- Attend weekly meetings.
For the networking concept to work, you must be present.
Attending weekly meetings becomes a way of life.
- Set goals and focus
on them. Networking is finding out as much as possible about
your fellow club members' businesses and needs, slowly and thoroughly.
Focus on one or two people at each meeting. Learn
what you have in common and build on it.
- Exchange business
leads. You may not need the services of all your fellow
club members, but you probably know people who do. Listen
and refer . . . that's what Gold Coast Executive Network
is all about. . . a select group of businesses - professionals,
services, retail stores, etc. - who network with and for one another.
