Why consider Business Network? Well Tracy and Hayley are great. They go out of their way to know everyone and to help them. The total focus is on helping to introduce you to the right people in a very informal manner. There are no pressures, just simply getting to know like minded people in a nice environment and the outcome is that you make friends with people you can help or they can help you. I love it !!
