Upcoming Chapters
A visitor to the Delano Chapter has since moved to Cottage Grove and is interested in starting a Women in Networking Chapter in Cottage Grove. Her name is Emily and she in the wellness industry. She is new to the area and is looking to know other business professionals. She’d like our help to get her started.
We also started a Chanhassen Chapter for Women in Networking being lead by Tracey Rust and Dr. Amber Miller from our Chaska Chapter.
If you know someone who might be interested in joining one of these new Chapters, please contact Tracey or Amber directly or Michelle Aspelin for the Cottage Grove area Chapter. If your organization has offices in Cottage Grove, please consider contacting them and telling them about Women in Networking. It they might be interested in joining, have them call or email Michelle. We will also put the requests out on LinkedIn and Facebook.
We may also be starting a Lake Minnetonka Chapter, let me know if you could refer anyone to that Chapter as well.
Chapter Transfers
If you are interested in transferring to another Chapter, contact the Membership Coordinator for the Chapter you’d like to transfer to. Fill out an application and submit. Or, you can ask me to email your original WIN application to the Membership Coordinator. Transfers are reviewed just like a new member. You will be notified by the new Chapter of your acceptance and they will notify me. I will move your profile from your current Chapter to your new Chapter on the WIN website. Dues are not effected by a Chapter Transfer.
“If you believe that you are having a hard time reaching your goal because you lack the necessary ability, and that you can’t do much to change that … well, there’s no way to put this nicely: you are wrong. Effort, planning, persistence, and good strategies are what it really takes to succeed.” ~ Heidi Grant Halvorson

Facebook for your Business
Effective social media can help you grow you business many ways. One way is by converting your existing customers into fans on your Business Facebook Page which allows you to stay in front of them to drive repeat business. Another is through Facebook ads, one of the most highly-targeted and effective ad networks. When you place an ad on Facebook, you have control over the demographics and your budget. You can set daily spending limits, run your campaign for a certain time period and choose the demographics that fit your ideal client. Facebook ads link.
Women in Networking has a Facebook Page. And I recently updated our WIN website to show the Facebook “like” button, our recent Facebook posts, and who our fans are. Can you see your face? Check it out! www.win-mn.com. It’s just one more way to keep us connected throughout the month. Feel free to post your events on our WIN facebook page.

Looking forward to 2012
As 2011 nears an end, we can look to 2012 for more prosperity, more energy, more sales and more customers! Come on, we are in business afterall! Who wouldn’t want more customers and more sales?
As our chapters meet to determine topics for the monthly brainstorming discussions, I encourage you to choose topics that will help put money in your pocket. How can you increase sales? How can you reduce expenses? What ways can you attract more ideal clients into your business?
If you need a handout developed for a particular topic, let me now, I’m here to help. I can post the handout on the WIN website for ALL chapters to use. Remember, at WIN we try to Keep it Simple! We can share resources!
As always, your feedback is appreciated, put your comments right here on our WIN website or make a post on Facebook!
Best Wishes for a Happy Holiday Season and a bright 2012 for you and your business!
