Take the Escalator Instead of the Elevator (Speech)

You've heard it over and over again - have your "elevator speech" polished for when you go to mixers and other business social events, right?

Wrong! In my "Maximize Your Mixing" class I explain how the elevator speech has hampered mixing success. Lots of people fear going to a mixer because they don't have a polished elevator speech. Too bad - had they gone, they would have likely met a new client or two. Read article >

You control your content. You may add, delete or edit all of your Chamber's events on our easy to use calendar.

Besides mixers - you may add other events to broadcast to Chamber of Commerce members area-wide!

The decision to include an event is yours.

The medium we use to broadcast The Chamber Link to the members is a weekly e-mail via Constant Contact.

Also, we never sell or otherwise transfer our lists to any outside party.

As a Sponsor Chamber - you may also send us news items (either Chamber news or member news) for publication on our web site or distribution in our emails. Featured event advertising is available at a nominal fee. Calendar entry of events will always be free.

We invite you to take a moment to review what Chamber managements and members are saying about The Chamber Link. See Kudos >
