Creating a Pipeline of Referrals 52 Tips to Networking Success Tip 26: Join a Chamber of Commerce (Week Action) We started off this week’s strategy by advising you (with apologies to Andrew Carnegie) to diversify your eggs into more than one type of networking basket. Your task this week is to investigate your local chamber of commerce. Find out where the office is and request membership information. Ask for the names of members you can contact. Attend an event or two to see whether the membership is a good fit for you; for a small fee, you can probably visit a chamber mixer. Take your time, do your homework, and locate a chamber that will adequately meet your needs – and the needs of your business. Pick an active chamber that knows how to hold networking events and has strong membership. Membership is not free, but it’s far less expensive than traditional advertising.
