My Pinnacle Network, a new monthly business-to-business networking group, recently announced plans to start a group in Newton. The Newton My Pinnacle Network meeting will launch on Thursday, January 10 at 7:30am at the Aflac offices at 29 Crafts Street in Newton. The group will then meet on the second Thursday of the month going forward.

“The start of a new year typically means New Year’s resolutions. Yet how many small business owners and b2b professionals head back to the same old networking group? My Pinnacle Network gives b2b professionals another resource to generate leads and referrals,” said Steve Dubin, founder of My Pinnacle Network. “We’re thrilled to continue our Boston West expansion with a group in Newton.”

My Pinnacle Network currently hosts monthly networking meetings for business-to-business professionals in Bourne, Braintree, Hyannis, Mansfield, Marshfield, Norwell, Plymouth, Providence and Westborough.

“Besides more targeted networking with other B to B pros, My Pinnacle Network is extremely affordable, especially with our charter member rate,” said Dubin.

My Pinnacle Network offers a special Charter Member rate of $200 per year for the first 12 B2B professionals who join any of the existing My Pinnacle Networks. B2B professionals can apply directly by going to www.mypinnaclenetwork.com. Only one B2B professional will be selected for each category. Those categories can be found at http://mypinnaclenetwork.com/about/categories.aspx.

“We do encourage prospective members to visit a My Pinnacle Network meeting before committing to join,” added Dubin. “With the Charter Member price, however, we cannot guarantee how long your category will be available and, as long as a prospective member’s references check out, it will be first come, first served.”

My Pinnacle Network streamlines the networking process by putting members shoulder to shoulder with others who are in the exact same traffic lanes. Another advantage of this networking concept is that if approved, a member has the exclusive rights to their category for their group--more than 40 other categories will be represented at each meeting.

Beyond the B to B angle, 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 ratio 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.

If you are interested in attending a meeting in your area, please contact Steven V. Dubin at SDubin@MyPinnacleNetwork.com or 781-582-1061 to RSVP. There is no charge to visit a My Pinnacle Network meeting.
