Build professional relationships that enhance your business

Face it, we’re all busy with heavy demands on our time and energies. An organization like ours has to provide value and be worth the investment. When talking with members or reading testimonials you quickly see a common theme. BayState has helped people grow their businesses, helped them become more effective, and helped build camaraderie with a like-minded group of diverse, interesting, accomplished people.

Unlike most networking groups we don’t have rigid protocols, processes and rules. If you’ve tried franchised networking groups and didn’t like them, welcome to the club, neither did we. Given the caliber and professionalism of our group, a little dose of structure is all that is required. Our relaxed, open atmosphere provides an engaging environment conducive to networking and helping each other grow our businesses.

We excel at running good meetings. They start on time, end on time and we get an amazing amount done in only 60 minutes. People not only share leads but are active listeners. Don’t worry about chatterboxes who hijack the conversation, or circular discussions that accomplish nothing. Those things simply don’t happen. In every meeting you’ll find great leads and terrific insights on local and national business issues.

Our membership is drawn from metro-Boston and the larger surrounding area. You’ll find broad-based leads and discussions not limited by narrow geography. Most networking groups are city or town based which is a significant limiting factor for companies on a growth curve.

We are an increasingly diverse group with a lot of dimension in the membership. People join for networking but quickly find that every meeting becomes a learning experience. More than that is the fact that members become friends who are looking out for each other. When you bring a sharp, accomplished group of people together, good things happen.
