Michael Eilerman

Michael Eilermann is an entrepreneur in the area of business networking.  In 2001, Michael started a faith-based Christian business networking group, that grew to 5 monthly lunches around Atlanta,  That group is currently reformulating as G6ten, founded on Galatians6:10.

 Over the years, Michael has learned a lot about business networking about what works, and what does not. He now does several unique things to help others with their business networking productivity. He at times refers to himself as the $35 entrepreneur.  Though everything he does is on an ala carte basis, everything he does is $35 or less.  His latest entrepreneurial endeavor is a digital business card, using your personal business card, with working links to whatever you want people to know about you, including click to call, and click to email.  His digital business cards will work on any smart phone, tablet or computer.  No App Required. He also helps people create personal ‘About Me’ web pages and sites.  Business networking is significantly about people, and not always about the specific business that you do or are in.  He can have anyone into a simple About Me web site, teach them how to edit it, and have their name on it, in an hour and yes, for only $35.  He can have your audio or video business introduction on the internet, on your own easily referable web page for $35 or less.  We have to make it easy for the people who know, like and trust us, to actually refer us.  Michael has a personal saying, “You have to whittle away at your why not’s”
