Our Mission is to develop an organization where Members look forward to weekly meetings where they can cross promote other D.N.A. members.  Our goal is to empower all our members to become more effective at marketing and selling their products and services through cooperative synergy.

Guidelines:

• Meetings are held every week so Members can give and receive more timely referrals. Because a limit on absences is enforced, only dedicated and motivated business people are attracted.
• Meetings are run by and for the Members with the only purpose being networking for referrals. Time is not spent on other subjects which do not produce networking referrals.
• Membership is limited to only one person per business category in a Chapter. There is no competition for referrals in your business. A proxy may attend the meeting in your place should you need to miss a meeting.
• Memberships may be limited per Chapter so you can really get to know the name behind the business card and feel comfortable making referrals.
• Reasonable Fees, often less than the cost of an ad run once in a newspaper, will be collected.  Fees will be collected quarterly and include the cost of breakfast.
• Professional speakers will be brought into the meetings, on occasion, to strengthen D.N.A.’s Members marketing, selling and business skills.

How are D.N.A. Meetings organized?

·         After the Director welcomes all guests and Members, the Meeting will begin with 30-second infomercials presented by each D.N.A. Member.  The infomercials should educate D.N.A. Members on what their business is and what type of referral would be a quality referral for them.

·         Referrals and Thank you's are exchanged and money that has been generated in the group for that week will be announced.

·         Every week, two D.N.A. Member’s will give a brief business presentation. The presentation will be approximately 8 minutes, followed by 2 minutes of questions and answers.

What are the fees?

Fees will be collected quarterly (January, April, July and October).  If new Members join mid-quarter, their fees will be pro-rated.  The breakdown of fees is as follows:  $100.00 one time Membership Fee.  $50.00/month paid quarterly in advance ($150) to cover breakfast costs and fees.  A portion of fees collected pay for guest breakfasts and promotional/member materials.  Membership “credits” ($25.00) can be earned by bringing in a guest that joins as a Member.  Credits can be used against quarterly fees or used as D.N.A. Script. to be spent for services from other D.N.A. Members. D.N.A. will reimburse the Member that honors the Script.

What is required of me as a D.N.A Member?

Active participation is encouraged for the greatest results.  You are required to pass at least two qualified referrals per month.  It is in your best interest to attend meetings on a regular basis, or send a proxy in your place.  Any Member that misses two consecutive meetings or four meeting in a quarter can be asked to leave the group.  It is encouraged that Members use other Member’s services if possible.  Member’s should be working fulltime in their business category and it is preferred that they conduct their business in the Santa Clarita Valley.
