For more than fifteen years, Mark Waldoch, the founder of Speed Lunch™, has been involved in professional organizations and the majority of those years in a leadership role. He developed events for these organizations that provided the membership with value and the organizations with non-dues funding. Every organization he was involved with offered networking as part of their regular meetings. It seemed that networking was the main reason people joined organizations.

Does networking work? Mr. Waldoch answered quickly, "You bet!" "In my career, I have worked for nine different companies." "Of the nine, I got six of those jobs through my networking contacts, while only three came from the more traditional newspaper/web sources." "When I started Speed Lunch, the majority of people I worked with came to me through my network." "Jeffery Gittomer, the renowned sales columnist that appears in Business Journals across the United States, says it best:...people buy from people they know." "I either already knew the people from my network or met them through trusted people in my network." "I wasn't trying to prove how vital networking is when I started Speed Lunch, but if I didn't have a good network already in place; Speed Lunch would never have gotten off the ground!"

Mr. Waldoch developed and implemented the Sales Luncheon for Sales & Marketing Executives-Milwaukee in 2001/2002. It was wildly successful beyond anyone's expectation for three reasons. It took very little time out of the business day, it did not eat into personal time, and it provided value. Offering a networking session at lunch seemed like a natural success.

"When I was doing some of my pre-launch testing of Speed Lunch, people were just blown away with its simplicity and effectiveness," adds Mr. Waldoch. "Others offer speed networking, but no one had a system to add value to the process." "Speed Lunch provides pre-meeting information to make the time you spend during Speed Lunch the most effective, it allows you to vote if you want to continue the relationship, and it guarantees you will never be paired with the same person again at a future Speed Lunch."

In short, Speed Lunch is the culmination of years of networking experience that brings networking into the 21st century. It is a fast and effective way to establish and grow a network that will help you build your business, elevate your career, expand your horizons, increase your income, and most importantly, grow personally. Speed Lunch is proud to help so many people do just that while taking so little of their time.
