introduce
Solano VIPs brings together outstanding professionals in order to share and support each other in business. It is a networking organization for serious professionals. We promote members by carrying business cards and becoming knowledgeable about the opportunities available through members. Solano VIPs meet weekly for lunch to gain an in-depth understanding of each member's business and practice.

Members regularly invite new potential businesses to attend lunch and evaluate the group. VIPers carefully screen potential members to insure that they will both add to and gain from membership. The screening process also helps to maintain the group's integrity as it grows.

The diversity of membership within Solano VIPs makes our networking group unique. Because we strive to include a wide range of businesses, we can offer clients expertise in a variety of areas - from real estate to financial planning and insurance, from plumbing to information technology.
present
The centerpiece of each weekly meeting is a 20- minute presentation by a member business. Because membership is limited to 30 individuals and because we meet each week, members may present several times a year.

This format reinforces the basic capabilities of each participating business and enables VIPers to share emerging business opportunities in light of recent trends. Customer anecdotes are frequent and can become powerful referral tools.

Each member also gets two opportunities each week to offer information on his or her business. Meetings open with a 30-second promotional by each member, and they close with a 2-n-tinute promotional by each member. VIPers also exchange business cards and referral slips weekly.
