My Pinnacle Network - Hyannis

The My Pinnacle Network - Hyannis is scheduled for the second Tuesday, from 7:30 a.m. – 9 a.m. at Mid Cape Home Centers at 1520 Route 132 in Hyannis. 


Welcome to a completely new approach to networking.


No stress and no obligation please attend our next “business to business” networking meeting and determine if this is a good fit for you.

The business model is based on a simple premise.  Most people buy from someone they know, like and trust.  And they buy from those referred and introduced to them by someone they know like and trust.


Service professionals such as accountants, lawyers, financial planners, printers, sales coaches and more than 40 other categories we have identified build their entire practice on referrals and introductions.

Although there are many “business to consumer” networking groups such as BNI and Le Tip that meet on an all too frequent basis, there are very few “business to business” networking groups that streamline the process by putting members shoulder to shoulder with others who are in the exact same traffic lanes. 


Additionally, typically “business to consumer” networking groups meet weekly which is cumbersome for the busy professionals’ schedule.  My Pinnacle Network will meet monthly and maintain enough contact among group members to generate significant introductions without becoming a nuisance and time waster.


Business to business groups are so scarce that service professionals battle aggressively for the exclusive right to represent their category.  In many respects, we have NO competition.  A handful of independent groups exist, but there is NO national organization.


We are the ONLY game in town.  And a game that many HAVE to play.


There are several other advantages that My Pinnacle Network offers to business to business professionals.  First and foremost, it is open ONLY to business to business professionals.  No more wasting time with the fruit basket lady, the chiropractor or the nail salon operator. 


Second, My Pinnacle Network adds the element of “high tech” to “high touch” of monthly face to face meetings.  All group data flows through a robust and easy to use website.  This keeps everyone accountable and highly visible. 


All introductions/leads are posted to the My Pinnacle Network website and the website’s automation both tracks leads and provides reminders to pursue them.  Each member’s lead production and closing can be measured by the group leader at any time.  Thus, non-productive members can be further coached to improve their value to the group or replaced by someone who will be more productive.


Currently, My Pinnacle Network is offering a special charter rate of $200 per. Only one B2B professional will be selected for each category.
