To encourage entrepreneurship in these troubled economic times, MAS creates  an opportunity for all the tenants, PAST & PRESENT, and many of people they do business with to be more successful. With proven strategic marketing techniques, this innovative and exciting networking program will connect your business directly with other businesses within the network, nation and worldwide who are seeking your service or product. 

There is no limit to your business or your personal success - it is all within your control.

Business networking:

By joining the MAS network you market your business to and are exposed to more than 15000 other businesses all without spending any money! How often does that happen?

This is NOT one of those ever-increasing meet-and-greet events that have given “business networking” a bad name.

The key to true business networking is the establishment of mutually beneficial relationships. The purpose of business networking is to increase business revenue. The best business networking groups are successful because of the exchanges of business information, ideas, and support. The most important skill for effective business networking is interaction with other business owners in order to find out their needs and problems. Thus, enabling the focus to be on establishing mutually beneficial relationships.

Joining our network is easy.

To register with the MAS network, you must either be a tenant or be recommended by one of our network members.

Trust, rapport and communication are key factors enjoyed by MAS tenant-members. Our goal is to provide an effective business networking platform, linking together business owners who want to elevate their businesses through trust and relationship building.

Here are some tips for getting the most out of the network:

1.  Networking is about being genuine and authentic, building trust and relationships, and seeing how you can help other members.

2. Ask yourself what your goals are in participating in our building networking program so that you can select other businesses  that will be mutually beneficial

3. Consider offering services or products at a discount or other business incentives or even volunteering..

4. Connect with as many businesses in our network as possible. Connect with whoever sparks your interest. Connect with them if you notice their ad or business slogan. Be supportive and complimentary to fellow members of the network.

5. Ask open-ended questions when networking.  These are questions that ask who, what, where, when, and how as opposed to questions that can be answered with a simple yes or no. This form of questioning opens up the discussion and shows the business owners that you are interested in them and their business. 

6. Become known as a powerful resource for others. When you are known as a strong resource, people remember to turn to you for suggestions and contacts.

7. Have a clear understanding of your business. What are you doing special or different from others in your field? It’s easier to get referrals if you are able to relay a clear picture of what you do so that they, in turn, are able to make a clear connection of how you can benefit one another or are able to recommend you to others.

8. Be able to articulate what you are looking for and how others may help you. Know what you are after.

9. Follow through quickly and efficiently on referrals you are given. When the network members give you referrals, your actions are a reflection on them. Respect and honor that and your referrals will grow.
