Network & Learn was established in 2002 as a local member-based networking group just north of
Detroit, Michigan.
Founder, Rick Weaver, believed that new entrepreneurs and salespeople were becoming frustrated with
the concept of networking. Although effective networking takes as long a year to start getting a steady flow
of referrals, too many grew quickly disappointed by the networking process during the relationship period
following joining a network group.
The answer
The answer to the new entrepreneur's frustration, Rick believed, was to add an element to allow the
members to learn important business and network building skills. By doing so the entrepreneurs would
find value during these early stages of networking to justify time and expense.
It was an immediate success as members began to overcome obstacles in motivation, people skills,
and unknown inexperience. Additional groups were soon formed in Miami, New York, San Diego, and
San Antonio.
Network & Learn saw the benefits members were receiving from the "learning" aspect of their networking
meetings. Not only were new members finding value, they were shorting the ramp up period to building a
business by using their N&L taught skilled.
Today
A decision was made to devote full attention to developing and refining the learning experience. This
meant N&L would shift from organizing groups to becoming a supplier of the learning portion of existing
networking groups.
Member groups receive a fresh lesson on an important business-building topic to cover in 10 to 15
minutes of their meeting. A Leader's Guide enables someone in the group to facilitate the learning
process.
With each session designed to give members something they can put into immediate use, N&L provides
great value to each group at a low investment.
