IMC Southern California — Monthly Meeting

Do you ever wish that you had a systematic collaborative approach to networking, with which you could develop a network of relationships rather than a collection of business cards and vague acquaintances?

Would you like to meet the consultants that work in your industry and/or can refer you to their clients?

IMC presents Consultants meet Consultants and Clients, a special program designed to help you make the contacts you need to form synergies, alliances and get new clients! The CmCC format has proven so successful at international consulting meetings that Jerry Savin, FIMC, CMC, wanted to bring it to IMC SoCal.

Our program begins at 4:30 PM with an introduction and explanation of the CmCC process. During the evening, you will be paired with as many as four consultants with whom you have synergies in industries served, services provided and/or clients. Our facilitator, Jerry Savin, will match you with other consultants based on the profile that you submit to him prior to the event, using the PDF form below. In each 30 minute meeting with another consultant, you will have an opportunity to share information and discuss how you might work together, refer clients or other opportunities to each other. The program includes up to four pairings with custom-matched consultants, general networking time, dinner and a debriefing session.

To participate in this special event, you will need to register well in advance and fill out a form describing your practice, clients, services and project examples. Submit the form to Jerry Savin. Jerry will pair you with four “matches” – consultants with whom you have synergies and can collaborate with.

By June 14^th, download the form (doc), fill it out and email back to Jerry Savin at jsavin@ctcg.com.
