Why subgroups are of value to YOU and We need your help for blood drive

You have likely noticed by now that there is a new "tab" on the tool bar at Motor City Connect. It says "Subgroups". Much to our chagrin it is in the same spot where the tab "Calendar" used to be (you can now find the MCC Calendar tab under the heading "Share" and the "ALL Other" calendar tab is still under "important".

So why Subgroups? As the group continues to grow, we want to make it easier to connect with the people that will matter most to your business. We have broken the options down into two distinct areas:

1. By Geography. It's no secret that we do business with those who are located close to us.

2. By Industry. This is a great way to find business partners as well as clients.

When you identify yourself into a specific subgroup we will have an easier time building out material that is of benefit to you. It also makes the communications we send more specific based on both your area of expertise and your locale.

Don't wait, go sign up for a subgroup today!

A quick note about the Blood side...

We are attempting to get a blood mobile for one day during the week of July 27th. In order to do so, we need to compile a list of 45 people who are likely to donate. Please take a moment and read this POST and respond accordingly.

One last note

To those who have noticed that group lost about 300 people...don't worry. People didn't quit. We purposefully cut out members whose e-mail addresses were bouncing and who haven't been on the board in months.

Have an awesome weekend and be sure to tell your friends about Buy Michigan Week and Blood, Sweat and Gear.

Be Great and Be Connected-
