Inside a We&Co Huddle: What Happens?
Strategizing Together
Crafting Winning Strategies
During a Huddle, members come together to strategize on how to dominate their market segment. But before they do that, they do the following:
- They state the mission and vision of the Huddle
- They go over the Huddle numbers and KPI’s
- They take a moment to log any referrals they haven’t yet logged on the We&Co platform
- They introduce guests and visitors
Next, they move on to the strategy portion of the meeting. This includes brainstorming, analyzing market trends, and crafting strategies that leverage each member’s strengths. After this segment, the huddle members reach out and invite at least 5 other potential members to the next meeting (after all, adding an additional member to their huddle results in approximately 50 additional referrals a year). Lastly, we go over upcoming events, state goals with accountability measures, and then end the meeting on a high note! And THAT is how we run our Huddles!
Passing Referrals on Our Automated Platform
Seamless Referral Exchange
One of the unique features of our Huddles is our automated platform for passing referrals. Members can easily refer business to each other, track referrals, and even thank each other for successful referrals.
Going Over Huddle Numbers and Reporting
Ensuring Success Through Accountability
In a We&Co Huddle, success is not left to chance. Members regularly go over Huddle numbers and reporting to track progress, identify opportunities, and address challenges.
Setting Goals with Accountability Measures
Personal and Professional Growth
Goal setting is a key component of a We&Co Huddle. Members set goals, and accountability measures are put in place to ensure that everyone is on track to achieve them. If a member hits their goal before the next meeting, awesome! If not, they have to perform their accountability measure. Some examples of accountability measures include buying the group coffee, bringing bagels, sharing an embarrassing memory, or giving a shoutout online of another member’s business.

About We&Co Huddles
We&Co is a professional co-oping & professional networking business that was founded in Springfield, Missouri in 2020.
