Milestone Mixers

Over the last seven years we’ve had the privilege of working with dozens of local businesses. And with 50 active accounts we’ve started to notice some interesting industry clusters that appear ideally suited for referring business to each other.

We have, we’re happy to, and we continue to make one-on-one client connections when opportunities present themselves. We also make an effort to stay in touch with our clients on a regular basis with weekly updates From the Book of Matthew. But we know most of you don’t read them every week.

Over the last few months – from our client satisfaction surveys – many of you requested we be in touch more often. While we’re always happy to meet clients for lunch, everyone is so busy these days it’s difficult to coordinate schedules.

Considering our growing client list with its industry clusters, the value of referring business amongst ourselves, and the hassle of scheduling one meeting at a time, we decided it’s time to start hosting quarterly networking events.

Sponsored by Milestone, and exclusively for our clients, the purpose is simple: introduce clients to each other so we can do business together and refer opportunities to each other.

Milestone Mixers are not like other networking events:

First of all, the drinks are on us. Not only will Milestone pick up the bar tab, but food will also be provided at no cost to you.

Second, other than the schedule from 4pm to 6pm, there isn’t a formal itinerary or rigorous protocol to follow. This is strictly a casual affair. Bring some business cards. Meet some nice people. Have a couple of drinks.

And finally, just to keep things interesting, each quarter we will feature a different industry cluster and ask a couple clients to speak for a few minutes about their business. No sales pitches. Just getting to know your Milestone peers.

Plans are underway for our first Milestone Mixer, which is scheduled on Friday, June 24, 2016. We haven't decided for sure, but we may focus on manufacturing clients this quarter. If you have questions or would like to be a featured speaker, let me know.

Until next week,

Matthew Anderson, President
