Referral Groups

Open Enrollment to Join one of the Chamber’s Business Referral Groups

 

The Referral Groups are a program available to Chamber members interested in growing their business through trusted relationships, networking, and high-quality referrals.  Members of the Referral Groups are business professionals and owners who meet regularly to share information about their business and provide and receive ongoing referrals for business.  By joining one of the Chamber’s referral groups, it offers a suite of powerful advantages that includes:

(1) Exceptional Value, Unmatched Opportunity to Meet More Connections for Your Business: Compared to the cost of joining other referral organizations, the Chamber’s Referral Group offers exceptional value at a fraction of the price. It’s a cost-effective way to grow your business while gaining access to a powerful network of advocates who are committed to your success.  Beyond the support and collaboration within your group, membership includes access to more than 60 Chamber-hosted networking events and programs annually—multiplying your opportunities to build meaningful relationships and generate new business leads throughout the region.

(2) Qualified Leads, Not Just Contacts: Members of the group refer businesses they know and trust, meaning leads are warm, vetted, and more likely to convert.

(3) Industry Exclusivity: Each group allows only one member per business category, giving you exclusive access to referrals in your niche.

Each Referral Group has their own meeting schedule as follows:

Option 3:  Thursday Referral Group (Meetings are in Person)

Member Testimonials:

I was looking for a reputable network group to join and Corridor 9/495 not only had the best reputation but the best reviews! I know that this year the group will provide me with what I need to “kick it up a notch” (or two) with solid work leads.

“I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how happy I am being a member of the Corridor 9/495 Chamber.  Even when times are tough for business, it is even more important to utilize your Chamber membership to keep those business relationships alive.

I have always tried to stay active in the Corridor 9/495 Chamber.  I truly believe the more you put into the Chamber, the more you will get out of it.  Gallo Moving has always had success as an exhibitor at the Chamber’s membership breakfasts with making new business contacts.   As a member of the Chamber’s Referral Group, I am growing my business by doing work with Wegman’s and Benchmark Senior Living.  Get the message out to all the members, membership and involvement to the Corridor 9/495 Chamber is your connection to new business and growth. “
