My Pinnacle Network announces August schedule of b2b networking meetings.

MPNBRAINTREE, HYANNIS, MARSHFIELD, MANSFIELD, NORWELL, MA AND WESTBOROUGH, MA…

The dog days of summer might slow some networking groups downs. Not My Pinnacle Network. My Pinnacle Network, a business-to-business monthly networking meeting with groups in Braintree, Norwell, Marshfield, Mansfield, Hyannis and Westborough, will keep its regular meeting schedule for the month of August.

August’s My Pinnacle Network Meetings are as follows:

The Braintree My Pinnacle Network will be held Tuesday, August 7, from 8:30 – 10 a.m. at 25 Braintree Hill Office Park, Suite 200, Braintree, MA 02184.

The Mansfield My Pinnacle Network will be held Wednesday, August 1, from 8:30 – 10 a.m. at 20 Cabot Boulevard, Suite 300, Mansfield, MA 02048.

The Westborough My Pinnacle Network will be held Tuesday, August 7, from 8:00 – 9:30 a.m. at 1900 West Park Drive, Suite 280, Westborough, MA 01581.

The Hyannis My Pinnacle Network will be held Tuesday, August 14, from 7:30 – 9 a.m. at 1520 Route 132, Hyannis, MA 02601.

The Marshfield My Pinnacle Network will be held on Thursday, August 2, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., 165 Enterprise Drive, Marshfield, MA 02050.

The Norwell My Pinnacle Network meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 22 at the Smith Barney offices at 600 Longwater Drive, Suite 202, Norwell, MA 02061.

“We founded My Pinnacle Network so business owners whose customers are other businesses can have more meaningful networking opportunities. If a slower August schedule means you can get one more one-on-one meeting with another business owner in, that’s a big advantage over people taking the summer off,” said Steven V. Dubin, founder of My Pinnacle Network.

Adds Dubin, “For networkers, it’s actually the best time of year to try additional networking outlets. Many networking groups do lag during the summer. My Pinnacle Network members make an attendance commitment when joining—one excused absence per six months. So, even though its summer, our members are going to be here.”

Currently, My Pinnacle Network is offering a special charter rate of $200 per year or payments of $16.67 per month for one year. 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.

A “senior” moment. Kingston, MA senior starts new venture, My Pinnacle Network.

Steve Dubin
MPN's Senior Founder Steve Dubin

KINGSTON, MA…

For previous generations, your late 50s might have been a time to hit cruise control and coast into retirement. Steve Dubin, a 56-year-old Kingston, MA resident, apparently didn’t get the memo. After a 30-plus career in journalism and PR, Dubin founded My Pinnacle Network, a business-to-business networking group that combines the high touch of one-on-one networking with high tech.

“As the owner of a public relations firm, networking to obtain personal introductions has always been our life source. Yet the chamber of commerce mixers and other traditional networking ‘schmoozing” events  were not  putting us in front of other business to business professionals who could provide the leads and referrals we needed,” said Dubin, owner of PR Works for the past 22 years. “We created My Pinnacle Network as monthly meeting for busy B-B professionals to meet and exchange warm leads and referrals. Period.”

My Pinnacle Network launched B-B networking groups in Braintree, Mansfield and Westborough, MA last month. Three brand new groups will start in June in Hyannis, Marshfield and Norwell, MA.  Plans are to grow regionally then nationally.

Each group meets once a month for approximately 90 minutes. Over forty B-B categories can apply for membership in My Pinnacle Network. If approved for membership, each member has exclusivity for their particular category.

In between meetings, My Pinnacle Network Members meet individually for one-on-one meetings to get to know each other better and enhance the leads and referral process. All leads and referrals are logged in on My Pinnacle Network’s website to provide accountability.

“I wasn’t exactly looking to start another business but there was clearly a need for better networking groups—the proverbial better mousetrap—than what was out there,” said Dubin. “With My Pinnacle Network, and its robust website, we think we’ve accurately assessed that need and now we’re trying to bring people’s attention to our six locations.”

My Pinnacle Network is presently offering special charter member rate of $200 per year. That offer is available for a limited time. For applicants whose references check out, membership is on a first come, first served basis.

As for Dubin, My Pinnacle Network has re-energized the father of three.

“I was telling my wife Wendy the other day, there are many business owners who are spending this down economy looking at the phone and wondering why it’s not ringing.  My Pinnacle Network, we are creating our own economy and helping others do the same,” said Dubin.

“Bottom line, business-to-business professionals are frustrated with the available networking opportunities out there. My Pinnacle Network is not a cocktail hour where you’re left to your own devices. It’s a structured networking meeting designed for productive leads and referrals,” said Steve Dubin, founder of My Pinnacle Network. “And with our new Charter Member pricing, business-to-business professionals can now join one of My Pinnacle Network groups for less than it would cost to buy a couple books of stamps every month.”

The June schedule for My Pinnacle Network is as follows:

The Braintree My Pinnacle Network will be held Tuesday, June 5, 1, from 8:30 – 10 a.m. at 25 Braintree Hill Office Park, Suite 200, Braintree, MA 02184.

The Mansfield My Pinnacle Network will be held Wednesday, June 6, from 8:30 – 10 a.m. at 20 Cabot Boulevard, Suite 300, Mansfield, MA 02048.

The Westboro My Pinnacle Network will be held Tuesday, June 5 1, from 8:00 – 10 a.m. at 1900 West Park Drive, Suite 280, Westborough, MA 01581.

The Hyannis My Pinnacle Network will be held monthly on the second Tuesday of month beginning on Tuesday, June 12, from 7:30 – 9 a.m. at 1520 Route 132, Hyannis, MA 02601.

The Marshfield My Pinnacle Network will be held on the first Thursday of the month, beginning, June 7, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., 165 Enterprise Drive, Marshfield, MA 02050.

The Norwell My Pinnacle Network will be held on the fourth Wednesday of the month beginning on June 27, from 8:30 am to 10am, at 600 Longwater Drive, Suite 202, Norwell, MA  02061.

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.

The “Network” grows. My Pinnacle Network launches monthly business-to-business networking group in Norwell in June. Special charter membership price offered.

Steve Dubin of My Pinnacle Network

NORWELL, MA…

“Can you hear me now?” It’s a campaign a national cell phone company made famous, promoting the savings enjoyed by its network of customers. Another network is making its own noise, My Pinnacle Network, by giving business-to-business professionals a monthly opportunity to exchange leads, pass referrals and, most importantly, make business connections. In June, My Pinnacle Network will launch a brand new monthly business-to-business networking group in Norwell.

The Norwell My Pinnacle Network meeting will launch on Wednesday, June 27 at the Smith Barney offices at 600 Longwater Drive, Suite 202, Norwell, MA 02061. The Norwell My Pinnacle Network will meet every fourth Wednesday, with the second meeting being on July 25.

“Bottom line, business-to-business professionals are frustrated with the available networking opportunities out there. My Pinnacle Network is not a cocktail hour where you’re left to your own devices. It’s a structured networking meeting designed for leads and referrals passing,” said Steve Dubin, founder of My Pinnacle Network. “And with our new Charter Member pricing, business-to-business professionals can now join one of My Pinnacle Network groups for less than it would cost to buy a couple books of stamps every month.”

My Pinnacle Network is offering a special Charter Member rate of $200 per year for the first 12 B2B professionals who join any of the six current My Pinnacle Networks.

In addition to Norwell, those groups include:

The Braintree My Pinnacle Network will be held Tuesday, June 5, 1, from 8:30 – 10 a.m. at 25 Braintree Hill Office Park, Suite 200, Braintree, MA 02184.

The Mansfield My Pinnacle Network will be held Wednesday, June 6, from 8:30 – 10 a.m. at 20 Cabot Boulevard, Suite 300, Mansfield, MA 02048.

The Westboro My Pinnacle Network will be held Tuesday, June 5 1, from 8:00 – 10 a.m. at 1900 West Park Drive, Suite 280, Westborough, MA 01581.

The Hyannis My Pinnacle Network will be held monthly on the second Tuesday of month beginning on Tuesday, June 12, from 7:30 – 9 a.m. at 1520 Route 132, Hyannis, MA 02601.

The Marshfield My Pinnacle Network will be held on the first Thursday of the month, beginning, June 7, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., 165 Enterprise Drive, Marshfield, MA 02050.

Charter Members can pay the $200 up front on My Pinnacle Network’s website or make a $16.67 monthly payment for one year. 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.

My Pinnacle Network is NOT your old boys’ network and has existing groups in Braintree, Mansfield and Westboro,  MA.

You’ve tried Chamber of Commerce events? You’ve endured one of the many weekly networking cults?  If you are a “business-to-business professional” you probably came away scratching your head and wondering how to recoup those wasted hours.

“The business model is based on a simple premise.  Most people buy from someone they know, like and trust.  And they buy from those referred and introduced to them by someone they know, like and trust.  My Pinnacle Network combines the high touch of a monthly meeting with high tech of online lead generation,” noted Steven V. Dubin, founder of My Pinnacle Network.

Dubin added, “Business to business professionals such as accountants, lawyers, financial planners, printers, business coaches and more than 40 other categories we have identified build their entire practice on personal referrals and introductions.”  He continued, “This ‘business-to-business’ networking group streamlines the 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.  Unlike Noah’s Ark, we only bring one business species in at a time.”

There are several other advantages that My Pinnacle Network offers to business to business professionals.  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.

The cost of the network is $300 for the year and there is a onetime initiation fee of $99.  If interested, please visit www.MyPinnacleNetwork.com to arrange to attend a meeting in your area. Or contact Steven V. Dubin, SDubin@MyPinnacleNetwork.com, 781-582-1061.
