Networking vs. Networks
Many people join the Chamber looking to “Network”, we like to say, “Networking is one letter off from “not working.” We are firm believers that the East Orlando Chamber provides opportunities to build your network and formulate professional business relationships. When members utilize the Chamber for Business Development, the magic happens. Almost all of us have been sold to… i.e. Telemarketers, pushy car dealers, sales reps at the big box stores, to the smiling faces of girls scouts selling cookies outside of Publix. When we need something, we typically Google it, research it, and comparison shop, but isn’t a referral from a friend or colleague more impactful? Don’t you find it refreshing to be introduced to someone who is genuinely interested in your products, services or help solve an issue or problem? When you foster and cherish relationships and assist in creating business development opportunities, people trust you, notice that you are interested in them. Typically, they tend to repay the favors.
The East Orlando Chamber of Commerce has embarked on a legacy building, transformational business development program for our members. Throughout October until November 10th members will be strengthening professional relationships through these business development strategies. Any size business can participate with opportunities abound. This is the first time the Chamber has offered these opportunities during a limited campaign period. There are many new and familiar business development offerings which are available. It is recommended to stay tuned and visit www.EOCC. org for more details or contact the office to learn more about this initiative.
The East Orlando Chamber strives to help your business grow and many members are doing the same. If you would like more information regarding Chamber opportunities, network building and more, contact us today.
For over 75 years, the Chamber has been a leader in Advocacy, Community Engagement and Regional Connections. Visit www.EOCC.org or call 407-277-5951 to learn how more about these and more business development opportunities.
