It is now in our network (Central Asian Business Community) of 132 members, and I think that this is only the beginning!

Maybe ...
maybe not ...

Direct connection to 132 executives from a target region may help a business development manager in his work. It is a lot easier to sell your products to those who are using business networking tools since you know for sure they are active software and maybe SaaS users and also there is a great chance that they are decision makers in their companies in terms of software purchasing.

LinkedIn in general gives you even more opportunities to find leads and partners. You may use advanced search to locate only those from Uzbekistan who're working in IT departments in large and small enterprises.

Already, yet 142 members, set (the call and bringing in new members) continues!
Hasten, not late!

CABC Offline Meetup

What do you think of informal, say monthly, meetings?

Meeting "offline" (in person) could help strengthen our network,
maybe even create some additional business relationships
amongst members. Our Central Asian Business Community group
currently has 181 members. We could get together (in Tashkent)
in a reserved restaurant or some office conference room,
have some wine or beer (guess what Carlsberg Uzbekistan sponsors),
enjoy some snacks, talk to each other and maybe listen
to 2-3 people who would like to give a speech or make
a presentation on some topic of interest. Each meeting
could be sponsored by one of the CABC members.
We will invite media so that sponsors' money pay for itself.

You can give speeches about:

* your company products and services
* your company new partnership programs
* market problems and ways to solve them
* ...we are open to your ideas.

If you like this idea, please vote for it on the CABC Discussions
forum [ www.linkedin.com/e/gis/49330 ].

If you would like to sponsor the first event or give
a speech (either in English or Russian) please contact
Sergey Kapustin (CABC group administrator)
by email: sergey[at]esector.ru Guest speakers are also welcome,
the only requirement – the topic should something to be
of interest to most of the members.


Best regards,
