Podcast – Welcome to NEBA

Introducing the New England Business Alliance Podcast!

We created this podcast to showcase our extraordinary members and help them share what they do and how they do it to a wider audience.

In our first podcast episode, we interviewed the Founders and Board of NEBA. We wanted to know why they started their own networking group and what makes it different from other groups.

NEBA is one of my favorite networking groups. While it’s based in the Boston area, we have members from all over the world. I met my IT guy there (Florida), one of my VAs (Maine), several vendors for custom gifts, and so many more.

If you’re a giver who loves trying to help other businesses grow and are looking for a free, Zoom-based networking group to check out, we meet every Tuesday morning at 8:30am ET. Our registration link is in the comments.

They spoke about how Pharma/Life science companies can ensure that their marketing efforts are reaching qualified, response-driven audiences.
