Leads group participation is a formal networking opportunity available to Metro North Chamber of Commerce members in good standing. Members will have the opportunity to exchange leads, learn how to give a 30 second elevator pitch, and present as the featured speaker at least once a quarter. Leads group membership is exclusive in that only one representative from a particular industry can participate in the group. If you have multiple lines of business that your company represents, you will only be allowed to speak about one area of your business (for example, a financial planner will not be able to speak on insurance or mortgage brokering).
Each group is encouraged to invite and bring guests to each weekly meeting. We encourage you to invite individuals that fill the needs of the group. For instance, maybe there’s a spot open for a plumber or electrician and you think they’ll benefit from being in the group – then bring ‘em along.
Leads group referrals are built on trust. It is important to attend your weekly leads meetings and follow through on all leads provided. The average time commitment is 6-8 hours a month for members in a non-leadership position.
