Connecting Local Businesses
Archbold Business Connections (ABC) was founded in 2008. ABC assists area businesses to market themselves, their products or services and to open up communication lines with the business community.
The professional relationships you have the opportunity to build can assist you in marketing your own business for success. Members include business owners, sales reps, branch managers and other professionals from northwest Ohio.
ABC meets bi-weekly for the specific purpose of growing business through networking: we get to know one another, become familiar with each others’ businesses, and learn how to refer others to our fellow members’ businesses.
Serious Networking for Business Professionals
Archbold Business Connections was founded to assist local businesses to market themselves, their products or services and to open up communication lines with the business community.

As a network business group, ABC provides many advantages to one’s professional career opportunities. By meeting with new business partners regularly, one expands their network of business opportunities and discovers common areas of interest. One of the most important benefits we all receive is listening to others’ experiences and suggestions that apply to our business.

Word-of-mouth advertising can’t be bought – it has to be earned. Networking at ABC presents a wonderful opportunity to generate great word-of-mouth advertising about your business by educating fellow members on why they can feel comfortable referring others to you. Business networking is more an investment of time than money, it is highly effective, and it has become an essential part of my marketing strategy.

About Us
ABC was founded in 2008. The professional relationships you have the opportunity to build can assist you in marketing your own business for success. Members include business owners, sales reps, branch managers and other professionals from northwest Ohio. We meet bi-weekly for the specific purpose of growing business through networking: we get to know one another, become familiar with each others’ businesses, and learn how to refer others to our fellow members’ businesses.
ABC is not just another meeting. Our success as a group stems from the memberships’ commitment to providing quality referrals to its members. Every member acts as a sales representative for every other members’ business, every day, and no commissions are ever paid.
If you are interested in joining a networking group that passes referrals, builds professional relationships and can potentially “Put Dollars in Your Pocket”, please join us. ABC meets bi-weekly on the first and third Tuesdays of every month at 7:00 a.m. at CHP Home Care & Hospice, 230 Westfield Dr., Archbold, Ohio 43502. We end our meetings timely by 8:15 a.m.
Archbold Business Connections was founded to assist local businesses to market themselves, their products or services and to open up communication lines with the business community.
Your success with the Archbold Business Connections will be based on your positive attitude, your ability to market yourself through relationship building and the support you can provide to your networking team. This will require a commitment by you to your fellow networking team members. By giving or referring business to others on our team, you will get business in return.
The General Membership is to be composed of an active group of businessmen and women, whose nature of business is not competitive with fellow members. The basic criteria for active membership is to exchange business referrals on a weekly basis. A member should be ready to attend meetings with leads/referrals for the general membership or bring in a new prospective member. Membership is selective so that all business conflicts within the membership are eliminated.
