Four Ways to Network and Grow Your Business

By Premier Chess CEO National Master Evan Rabin 

As we enjoy teaching students aged 3-100+ in school programs, corporate classes, virtual group classes, private lessons and more, we meet lots of great types of people and organizations. The 90+ organizations that we’ve partnered with so far range from Grace Church School to the law firm Kramer Levin to Village Care.  As we work with a variety of organizations and individuals, it helps to have many close partners and networking groups.

I would love for you to check out one of the four networking groups I am in:

1) Business Networking International Chapter 30

Business Networking International is a massive worldwide networking organization with 270,000 members in 9,500 chapters. Check out this recent podcast episode with the founder Ivan Misner. I am the co-founder of a new chapter, which meets on Wednesdays at 7:00 AM. We have great education, real estate, legal, banking and other industry professionals and focus on building relationships and passing referrals. We are meeting virtually until at least the end of the calendar year. Eventually we will transition to meeting in person midtown.

2) Jewish Business Networking Manhattan

On Thursdays at 9:00 AM, I meet with a great bunch of Jewish professionals on Zoom.  When COVID-19 craziness ends, we will transition to meeting back in in person. Check out this business and life lessons in chess presentation I gave for the group in this morning’s meeting.

3) Astoria NY Entrepreneur Club 

This group normally meets at a different restaurant in Astoria each time twice per month. While I look forward to resuming our in-person meetings, I enjoy our bi-weekly Zoom calls. Our next meeting will take place Tuesday evening at 8:00 PM.

4) Riverdale Business Networking Group

Group meets on Zoom on Wednesdays, bi-weekly. Next meeting is on November 11th at 8:30 AM.
