  Professional Edge

Thursday, September 10, 2009  7:30 - 9:30 a.m.
Huntington Bank - 801 W. Big Beaver, Troy

Match.biz:  You had me at “Hello”

Business matchmaking is a lot like other relationships.  In order to find just the right person to work with you need a place to meet good people, a profile to tell others what you bring to the relationship and a description of what you’re looking for in a potential partner.  Once you review your matches and start dating your prospective business partner, a courtship, engagement and eventual marriage may ensue. Pre-nup contracts should be considered to prevent an ugly divorce.

Collaborating with other businesses or creating a synergy relationship will create greater opportunities than doing it alone. So stop waiting to meet that special business partner and join us at the Professional Edge.
