Network, network, network

Today's post is all about maximizing your membership with the Chamber. I have a few short and easy to follow rules for attending any and ALL Chamber functions:

1. Bring your business cards (I WANT you to hand them out!!)
2. Be ready to introduce yourself (people are inherently shy and won't always come up to you)
3. Have a brief description of what your business is ready in case you are asked
4. Practice asking questions that are not personal in nature but help you get to know others
5. Try to remember names, repeat a name when you are introduced and use it at least three times while talking
6. Next time you see someone you have recently met at another function, try & remember to ask them something about them that you learned
7. Bring your business cards (I WANT you to hand them out!!)

We are here to promote, develop & support the business community of the greater Sandpoint area. Please use our functions, programs and events to promote yourself!
