"The 'Value' of networking - Part 2"
Last week I spoke about The "Value" of Networking. This week I want to address the value of productive networking and utilizing the Chapel Hill Leads Group to that end. Each week we have scheduled time for testimony's where our members publicly thank other members for their recent referrals. I normally keep tract and it is not unusual for a member to thank several of our members for recent referrals. It is a powerful demonstration of how this type of networking is of value when starting a business or expanding an ongoing business.
If you are a new business owner or one that has attended the Chapel Hill Leads Group in the past, I invite you to join me this Wednesday morning and see for yourself why the Chapel Hill Leads Group is the oldest business referral group in the region, now celebrating over 20 continuous years in helping small business owners succeed.
Respectfully,
Lee Schearer
 Support the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina
Attention CHLG Members - The Chapel Hill Leads Group's goal is to raise 100+ boxes of cereal a month. If everyone brought one box of cereal to two meetings this month, the Chapel Hill Leads Group would easily exceed the 100 boxes of cereal goal.
