Visitor Note: The next 6 paragraphs are all you'll need to read on this site before you take ACTION and help your local business economy grow via relationship building and networking.
Question we're asked: Why should I join a business social network that's not Facebook, MySpace or Linkedin?
Our Answer: To Grow Your Business "Locally" via real relationships, active contributions, local business events you can host & attend and referral partners you can meet in person. Members of a local inSideAreaCodes.com Business Network actually only 'start' the conversation online and then are encouraged to move it quickly offline to a local independent coffee shop, restaurant and other venue within driving distance and a local phone call away.
Benefit: In doing this you help your local economy and keep the dollars in your community. Most of our members derive 100% of their income within 20 miles of their business. If this describes you, please continue...
Our Networks: End up being part Social Networking, part Business Referral Network, can work as your Digital Rolodex and Local Business Whitepages and with the offline events and activities part Local Chamber of Commerce. Our Members agree that we're the place where Facebook meets Linkedin. Enough Personal touch to "start to know someone" along with a real business environment to "get things done".
Our Difference: You'll find that every social network is different and each can assist with your different objectives. Our difference is that we're a true "local space" - we restrict membership to those who live and work in your own backyard - and we're okay with only having several 1000 members per network.
We're about connecting small business owners and professionals via quality connections not quantity - small really can produce big results. If you want to "make friends", "advance your career" or "find your perfect someone" there are better networks than ours. If you want to grow your local business we're worth looking into.
Check us out 1st: Since you can only join one inSideAreaCodes.com Network and yours might not have launched yet - we highly encourage you check out the network that proved our concept - inSide919.com - built for the mutual benefit of locals in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, RTP and the Triangle area (and other great little towns) of North Carolina.
