Across the United States, and internationally, there are a number of professional networking sites that promise to boost sales, increase leads, and help you to build a stronger business. Most of these services come with membership fees or dues, which are used to help pay for administrative costs, website and marketing costs, special events, and so much more. One question that businesspeople have is are these networking sites worth the membership fees? Here are some questions to help you evaluate the answer for yourself!

Could I use more customers or clients at my NJ business?
The number one reason people join a networking organization in New Jersey is to get more leads, which turn into customers, which turns into revenue! Unless your business is so busy you can’t handle new customers, a networking organization is just what you need. Once you’ve tapped out your personal circle of friends and family, how can you expand your reach past marketing efforts? Networking allows a personal referral system.

Does my team have questions that need professional input?
Beyond leads, a professional business networking chapter gives you professional tips and business building advice. Hear from local experts how to connect specifically with your community, or solve problems with the advice of other seasoned business professionals.

Do I feel lonely or isolated as a small business owner?
If your team is small (or, if you work all on your own), you may find yourself getting lonely. The networking partners at LeTip won’t be your officemates, but having other professionals to share ideas and frustrations with can be a huge benefit! Connect with likeminded professionals in your area for more than just business benefits.
