Referral Network Groups

Word of mouth networking has been proven to be the most effective way to promote and build your business.  People like to do business with others they know and trust. They will in turn refer people they know. Chamber Referral Groups are the best way to get yourself known to fellow chamber members.  By meeting each other regularly, your fellow members come to know you as a person, know your skills, and most importantly, trust that you will do a good job for people they refer to you.  It can be the most economical element of your business marketing strategy.  

The Chamber has established seven Referral Network Groups to accommodate the variety of member needs and meeting availability. Participants are requested to bring business cards, marketing materials, “asks” and referrals. Only one individual per business category is allowed in each group.
