What is Elle Group?
elle (el) FRENCH pronoun meaning she or her; third person singular feminine.
Elle Group is a networking organization consisting of ladies with all backgrounds, walks of life and ages for the purpose of supporting the needs, wants and desires, professionally and personally of one other.
Elle Group is a membership organization. We are a networking group not a leads club. We are not category exclusive and there is no mandatory attendance. So, come when you can, life happens. As a networking group and not a leads club, we challenge and reward you for the most one-on-one get-togethers made from someone you met at a meeting.
The purpose of getting to know your fellow women in business is because sales is all about building relationships. Whether you find your next hot lead or next best girlfriend – it’s all about the relationship. People do business and refer their friends, associates and family to people they know and they trust. Wouldn’t you like to have every woman you meet at a meeting out promoting your business? Because it’s not about her, but who she knows. Remember, business happens when relationships are built.
Elle Group is about building community through a solid support network. And it’s all about doing it with life balance. Our mission is: Enrich your life. Pamper your body. Nurture your spirit. Accelerate your business. Celebrate your soul.
How We Started
Elle Group was founded by Tara Becker in April 2006.
"My passion is to inspire women to dream and to empower them with skills and tools to reach those dreams. My vision is that this network grows, in size and its ability to provide women with the resources and support whatever their issues or challenges, as well as, giving praise and applause for a job well done. As it is essential to be recognized for our achievements and triumphs, more importantly, we all need to be acknowledged for our attempts and efforts," explains Tara Becker, founder.
