Having one month under their belt already, the Leads Group is up and running.

     Every Tuesday from 7:00am - 8:30am, a group of business individuals meet at the Chamber to exchange ideas along with referrals and more referrals. This group is off to a successful start, averaging an exchange of 10-15 leads per week. Member to member meetings have also taken place where individuals meet on a one-to-one basis to build relationships and familiarity with each others' products and services.  There is a $75 fee to join.

     A leads group is comprised of many different types of businesses who are intently focused on being a marketing force for each other. This group becomes a networking environment where you can build relationships with other business              professionals. During the leads group meetings other members will become familiar with your business and learn how they can refer you to their own circle of contacts. Only one member per    business category is allowed, so there is no       intra-group competition.  Interested parties can be put on a waiting list. 

     Interested in finding out more about the Leads Group? White Lake Area Chamber members are welcome to visit our group a time or two before joining. You don't even have to be a Chamber member to visit. However, to be a leads group member, you must also be a member of the White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. 

     Join us for an OPEN HOUSE: Tuesday, August 24, from 7:00am-8:30am at the Arts Council of White Lake, 8695 Ferry St. in Montague.
