Make a Difference AND Have a Thriving Business

The Biznik 95/5 Principle:

What, you don't want to buy a condo in Mexico? We hate self-aggrandizing puffery and pushy sales-pitches as much as you. That's why we keep an eye out for only the best events where the self-promotional schlock by the person at the podium is kept to a minimum. Events on the main Biznik calendar have been inspected and reviewed by our superhuman editors (yes, some have x-ray vision). The host has assured us that the content of the event will focus on you and growing your business, not on them and their latest promotion. (Hence, the 5 in 95/5.)

We've got your back:

You're busy running your business and wasted time costs dearly, so... Every event created on Biznik is reviewed by our team of superhero editors. (Yes, some have x-ray vision.) We're looking for events that are relevant to business, limit overt self-promotion (the 5 in "95/5"), and have a certain je ne sais quoi 'cool factor.' If we see the potential for a little magic to happen between Bizniks, we feature the event on the main calendar.

  Sounds intertesting. I'm curious of any tie-ins with my company's community service sponsorship efforts.

  What a great turn out and awesome interaction! It was the best networking event Yuno and I have sponsored, so far.

  Everyone was so warm, friendly and engaging. It was PURE JOY to play with you.

  A very special thanks to “A” for the refreshments (lite breakfast), beautiful setting, the HD TV for our presentation, his kindness, generosity and genuine giving spirit.

  I am very eager to do another one in this great location. See you soon. –Warmest, Julie
