Each month the SSWBN Membership Team recognizes a member who exemplifies the qualities of a Networking Nova, a person who embodies the Network’s core values of contacts, coaching and collaboration; someone who is visible at many SSWBN events and who treats others with respect and dignity. In addition, this personalizes the Network to build his/her business and helps others do the same.

Paula Lind Advises How to Get SSWBN Business ‘Automatically’
Paula Lind, from O’Donoghue Insurance Agency in Hanover, joined the South Shore Women’s Business Network in March 2009. As our newest NOVA, Paula said:
“I make a point to contact people in the Network when I have a need for their profession. The Lunch and Learn events have been helpful for specific business issues where I need advice. The SSWBN website has so much to offer each of our businesses. I look at the website frequently to find information that will help me with my business. The website has a well organized directory that makes finding people easy.
“The opportunity to introduce myself and my business at every luncheon and breakfast has created wonderful referrals for me. I have found that any clients I have acquired through the Network are quality clients, and a pleasure with whom to do business.
“My advice to Network members and potential members is this: don’t participate in the Network just to receive business referrals. Get to know the members, join committees, ask for advice from other SSWBN professionals. The business will come automatically. If you are sincere about your membership as an opportunity to meet great people, it will only enhance your business relationships and friendships.
“Since I have joined the network I have made friendships that will last a lifetime. People who are part of the SSWBN have a certain quality and good nature about them. This is something all the members seem to have in common. I look forward to meeting more people and developing great friendships and business relationships in the future through the SSWBN. I love it.”
