All aboard for QuickConnect on Nov. 9 at The Depot ...

All aboard for the Chamber's November QuickConnect event! QuickConnect is the Chamber's direct sales opportunity for members, giving participants the opportunity to determine quickly if there is a fit in meeting each other's business or personal consumer needs. It's fun, fast and very effective.


The Nov. 9 session will be held at The Depot Events Center, 919 Old Henderson Road, from 8:15 to 10 a.m. (Check-in is at 8:15 a.m. Please be sure to arrive at this time so the start of the timed exercise will not be delayed.) The event will end at 10 a.m.

The QuickConnect session is structured so that each participant will make one-on-one contact with 10 others. Participants face each other and have 90 seconds to discuss their company's products or services. Following each contact, participants indicate the next steps, including talking further about doing business; not a fit; and offering a referral. Prior to the session, participants are provided a business profile/feedback form to complete and bring 11 copies to the session.


Registration is required, and commitment to your reservation is important to maintain the correct number and "mix" of contacts for optimum connections. Please register by Oct. 28
Nov. 3 by clicking on the REGISTER NOW link above or by calling the Chamber office at 888-3040.
