PRO BASICS CLASS AND ADVANCED TRAINING

As one of the member benefits of PRO, we offer monthly training classes.  This class is open to both members and prospective members.  We introduce the PRO methodology of developing successful strategic partnerships, including a review and explanation of each PRO Team meeting agenda item, what to do between meetings, and the "Power of One" philosophy to create successful strategic alliances.   For details, contact PRO at info@professionalsreferralorganization.com.

SOCIAL MEDIA

 

If you utilize social media sites such as FaceBook, Meetup.com, or Twitter you can stay up to date with what's going on with PRO.  On Facebook, you can find our page by searching for "PRO" then clicking the tab that says "Pages."  We are generally on the first page about half way down ... just look for our logo.  On Twitter, you can follow Mike Short, the founder of PRO by finding him as "PRO_Founder" (which is also his name on Skype), and we have a group on Meetup.com called "Richmond VA Business Networking."  Not sure about all this internet based social media stuff?  That's okay, we still use email and the old fashioned telephone too.

TEAM EVENTS

Some of our PRO Teams are having additional networking socials, visitor days, or training events.  For more information on these, please check with members of PRO, or sign up on our PRO FaceBook Page, join our group on Meetup.com, or follow us on Twitter.  We hope to soon be announcing events via LinkedIn and Plaxo.  If you are not connected to any of these social media sites, you can still contact us at (804) 402-9926, or via e-mail at  info@professionalsreferralorganization.com.
