"Method #1 in Marcia's teleclass discussed a networking group I had once thought of joining, but with my husband's work schedule and trying to get the kids off to school in the morning, the timing was not right. "I went to the organization's website and found a local group that met at a time that suited me. At the first meeting, I was impressed with the group. I was handed the visitor form afterwards and almost died when I saw the annual membership fee - $330, plus $100 registration. "But about three days later, I received a call from the wife of one of the people I had met at the meeting. The first project alone is a $7,000 to $10,000 deal, with another few thousand later on in the year. Just based on those alone, I will recoup the membership fee and then some! "But it gets better. One of the other members contacted me this week - a business coach teaching at many corporations in town who wants to bring me to teach business writing principles to executives. "Next I plan to implement Strategy #2 that Marcia discussed on the call!" Corinne Smelker, San Antonio, TX
