In-Person Networking + Business Roundtable | The Lou Link-Up
Advertisement
The Lou Link-Up is heading back out into the community for another evening of in-person networking, and this time we're pleased to join Connect, Engage & Thrive, powered by Commerce Bank.
The Alignable Alliance of North St. Louis County has been invited to participate in this local business roundtable, bringing our relationship-first approach to networking into a larger evening of conversation, learning, and community.
Our featured speaker is Nancy Jordan, Founder & CEO of Gro Business Development, presenting:
Plan Ahead. Stand Out. Grow.
Turn Key Dates and Opportunities into Year-Round Business Growth
Nancy will share how business owners can build a more strategic annual calendar that helps them anticipate opportunities, engage customers, increase visibility, and position their businesses for sustainable growth. The evening will also include networking, a business spotlight, an Alignable preview, speaker discussion, and open dialogue.
The format comes directly from the Connect, Engage & Thrive roundtable: a casual but focused environment built around practical insights and local business relationships.
Come ready to:
- Meet people, not just collect contacts. A few meaningful conversations can be more valuable than trying to work the entire room.
- Learn what other local businesses actually do. Understanding who someone serves makes it easier to recognize future referral and collaboration opportunities.
- Share before you sell. Talk about challenges, ideas, resources, and experiences that may help someone else.
- Follow up after the event. The event starts the relationship; consistent activity afterward is where the relationship grows.
- Nurture the connections you already have. Strong networks are built through repeated interaction, not one meeting.
- Look for opportunities to make introductions. One of the most valuable things you can bring to a networking community is the ability to connect two people who should know each other.
That relationship-driven approach is central to the Alignable Alliance model: show up consistently, follow up, nurture relationships, and leverage those relationships through meaningful introductions.
Whether you're already active on Alignable or you're simply looking for better ways to connect with the St. Louis business community, you're welcome to join us.
