Review from Tony Fulco:
I am launching a new business and needed to up my networking. I found Chris Rives, The Networking Mad Man, through Facebook and that changed everything. I started committing to 1 to 2 events a week and in less than 2 months I have done business with 6 different entrepreneurs!!!! From a business perspective it has been invaluable. The unexpected (and fortunate) twist is that I now see a lot of these great people as friends, which really helps business. Who doesn’t want to work with friends? Anyway, it all started with crazy Chris Rives and his better half Lacey. Networking WORKS.

Review from Jeffery Buck:
“I can’t say enough about Chris and the Harford Business Network. I met Chris at a Coffee and Connections and he provided me with a list of different networking events. After investing just $100 to join, my company, Mister Insulation, generated $23,000 in revenue in 4 months thanks to the connections and referrals I received. Chris has created an atmosphere that truly supports its members and delivers real results. If you’re looking for a professional, business-focused network in Harford or Cecil County, I highly recommend Chris Rives and his networking groups—they genuinely help you grow your business.”
Review from Justyce Veltman-Smith:
" I joined Cecil ConnectPro about three months ago, and it has already made a significant positive impact on my business! Thanks to the connections and opportunities within this group, I've secured several new clients and contracts.
I especially want to thank the group for being so supportive but also Chris Rives. Chris has cultivated a truly supportive and collaborative environment. His dedication to fostering meaningful connections and providing valuable resources has been instrumental. If you're looking to expand your network and grow your business, I highly recommend checking out Connect Pro led by Chris Rives!”
