I'm curious, is anyone getting any business from this community of companies?

Of course not. But admittedly, I haven't put the effort in that it needs. But this site is geared towards referrals. And let's be honest, very few people give referrals... most people just want to receive them. The value here is not getting business, but finding other businesses nearby that would complement your business that you could potentially partner with.

Your only half right. The purpose of this site is to help and give advice to other business oriented people. It is not and was never intended to be a place to stuff your coffers with new business. New business can and does happen but that's not the focus. So if that's your only motivation...this isn't the place for you.

Travis, I thought that's what I said when I wrote "The value here is not getting business, but finding other businesses nearby..."

Hey Mario, I absolutely agree with you. I'm offering content on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Alignable - the only one that has produced any kind of traction is Facebook.

Travis, I agree with you as well. However, businesses looking to create those connections, collaboration opportunities, and channels of communication to growth, develop and expand aren't welcomed here, then it is a waste of our time, in my humble opinion.
