Ready, Set, QuickConnect!
Making new business connections and acquaintances within our Chamber is a good way to become engaged and involved and to jump-start a positive membership experience in the Chamber. QuickConnect, the Chamber's direct sales opportunity for members, is an excellent way to get your new membership off to a great start.
QuickConnect, a "speed networking" activity, offers 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, affordable ($10) and very effective.
QuickConnect is held four times each year. The next QuickConnect session will be held next Tuesday, Dec. 11, at the Worthington Community Center, 345 E. Wilson Bridge Road, from 9:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. (Very important: check-in is at 9:45 a.m. Please be sure to arrive by this time so the start of the timed exercise, promptly at 10 a.m., will not be delayed.) 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. The profile form is available in Microsoft Word format at this link so that you can type your information in easily and print 11 copies to bring to the session. Please note: You should plan to attend QuickConnect ONLY if you have received a confirmation of your attendance after registering. Considerable care is taken to match QuickConnect participants with other Chamber connections. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate walk-ins or unregistered attendees for this session. Our exercise is affordable and targeted, based on information you provide us about your ideal customers and other chamber members you'd like to meet. To make the session as meaningful as possible to participants, the number of businesses from a single business category (banks, insurance, financial services, etc.) will be limited to two businesses. In addition, members who have not previously participated in QuickConnect are given preference over those from the same business category who have attended a recent session. This procedure expands interest in QuickConnect and helps all participants receive the maximum benefit from the exercise. Registration and prepayment deadline: noon on Dec. 10. No refunds can be processed for cancellations after this date.REGISTER ONLINE AT THIS LINK.Please call Kevin at 888-3040 if you have questions about QuickConnect. We hope you will plan to take advantage of this opportunity.
