Our Tools
On this page you will find some descriptions of tools offered in our Membership, but also gain access to some free downloads so you can try them out for yourself.
Our Chrome extension has many uses and it goes through upgrades with new features every few months. It works on LinkedIn but also works inside of Zoom meetings or MEETN events. It is designed to help our Members make introductions very easily and to ask for introductions as well. When a new Member joins the network we onboard them and run them through how to use this valuable tool. We assist them in adding their ideal target market to the tool so that the AI will then show them who in our network knows the person that they want to know. Every contact is ranked on a scale from 1 to 10 so they no longer waste time meeting people who can't use their services, or direct them to a lead. Many of our Members use this tool to book 10 to 20 appointments a week and this has an immediate effect on their bottom line.
The tool also will invite 1000 people to a LinkedIn event in about 5 minutes.
When you click below you can download the CIBN Chrome Extension and start using it right away. This VIDEO SERIES will give you the direction that you need to get started but this is the limited use free version. In order to have unlimited access and book as many appointments as you want, you will need to either buy it online for $78 per month USD or buy a CIBN Connect Membership which starts at $27/month. This tool comes with any level of paid Membership at CIBN Connect.
What if you got paid for networking? Wouldn't that be awesome?
With Nolodex this becomes a reality. CIBN Connect has purchased this tool for our Members to track their referrals and pay out referral rewards to each other. Members can decide how much they would pay for a lead that converts to a sale. You can pick 1% , 10%, 20% or whatever you want. You only pay when a sale is made. This gets everyone in the CIBN Network talking about your offer!
This also means that you get paid for connecting people together. When you refer another CIBN Member and it converts into a sale, you will earn the referral reward that is being offered. This is networking that pays for itself!
The money is tracked. The payouts go directly to your bank account. An annual report is even created for tax purposes.
CIBN Connect picks up the monthly cost for our Members at every level of membership. There is an annual fee of $20 that is done during onboarding.

FAQS & QUESTIONS
Networking is the most cost effective method of marketing your business. While other forms of effective marketing cost thousands of dollars a month, a good network with multiple meetings to attend will generally be only a few thousand dollars a year. The return for a business owner who refines their networking skills will be between 3 to 10 times what they spent each year. They also received many other benefits of attending the groups. Friends were made, meals were enjoyed, skills were learned, money was saved on services bought through the network, and mistakes were missed because of knowledge that was gained. The value of these benefits outside of the sales made, can easily exceed $10,000 annually. It should also be noted that 80% of all businesses fail in their first 5 years and according to an article published in Forbes, 80% of new businesses also do zero networking. This is the missing key for many entrepreneurs.
You should be doing both. Networking is a great option for lead generation, but it serves productive business owners better. Business networking helps to get referrals, knowledge, and community. But referrals are shared more freely with business owners that are working hard. Whether you're in your first year of business, or your fifth year, there are a multitude of outreach strategies available to you. CIBN members are expected to be generating leads from a variety of sources. It is crucial that every member contributes, and we are better equipped to share referrals when we have other lead streams.
CIBN offers a lot and demands little. We do not have mandatory attendance, or referral quotas. We teach business owners how to network at a high level, but we don't demand your time. We've priced our membership to serve you. It is a supplement to your other networking groups. We are focused on development, and bringing people together. We are an international group, that helps you reach beyond your own city. CIBN is designed, from its core, to be member serving. We spend a significant amount of money to bring our members new connections every week, and we work together to grow our businesses.
All networking can be beneficial, but CIBN is designed to highlight your voice. We want you to build a community around your business, and we want to help you leverage it. In our meetings you will get more speaking time, less boring presentations, and value driven content. We are active learners who are obsessed with innovation. We work hard to build our businesses together and we know that success is a culture.
Everyone should be working on developing their skills. You may be a master networker, but that skill is useless if no one else is. At CIBN we have built high level networking into our core. Our weekly online club SMART Networking Club is designed to imbue high level networking practices into our community on a weekly basis. Our book, SMART Networking: the $150,000 method, is included with every level of membership. This is because we need everyone on our community to preform at a high level. Productive business networking is a community endeavor and we have the resources to get any hardworking business owner caught up.
Many business owners struggle to make a sale. Sometimes it is a fear of selling, or perhaps we are an introvert. Maybe we don't want to feel "salesy." Often though, people simply lack having a real sales process. This leads to winging it, but as our Founder Kerry George always says, "Winging it is for KFC. Winging it is not a sales process." We cannot tell what we did right when we get it right, and we can't tell what we need to improve if we are winging it.
No amount of leads will help you, if you cannot sell. Your networking will not work if you can't sell. You will go out of business, if you cannot sell.
Networking provides warmed up leads in the form of referrals, but if our ability to close a sale is wanting, then 100 leads will not help you. Many people are focusing social media campaigns or creating a lead funnels before they have created a sales process that closes deals. One marketing project after another will fail if the the business owner does not know how to sell. We need to focus on selling and fix the sales process first.
This is why CIBN Connect offers a very effective Sales Training Level of membership where Members can create scripts for their pitches, their one-on-ones, their sales presentations, and their follow-ups. They can practice on each other, set goals and work together to reach their objectives.
While many sales training courses start at $5000 you will find our very effective sales methods to also be very affordable. Starting at only $177/mth we often begin seeing results within three to six months depending on each Members ability to apply the information. Members can go up and down in their Membership at any time, just by giving us notice in advance of their next payment.
