  • What is business networking? How do you network?
    People do business with those they know, like and trust. Business networking is about developing relationships with area professionals, business owners, community leaders and influencers in our Metroport Region. The Metroport Chamber’s goal is to help you develop those relationships so you aren’t walking into a room full of strangers, but a room full of friends. Your tribe. And we’ll show you how it can be painless to do. Here’s a quick tip: Start small. Our Business Builder Networking Coffees are a great place to start. The crowd is big enough to meet people and small enough to be comfortable. Held in a different community each month—you’re sure to find one nearby. Join us for a cup of coffee and start making connections. Quick tip number two: Don’t sell. Instead, build relationships. Help others with their needs. Facilitate connections for others. Become a valued resource. Networking requires the long game. It’s not about making the sale today, but rather, having the relationship already developed for when a need arises. By then, they know you. They trust you. They want to buy from you. You’re laying the groundwork for future business. Also remember: With networking, you’re not necessarily finding customers – rather you’re creating a huge referral network! People also refer those they know, like and trust. Friends refer friends. Volunteering can help you do this quickly. Check out the Chamber’s Ambassadors—a fantastic group of enthusiastic go-getters. Ambassadors meet and greet new businesses to the area and new Chamber members. (Just think of all the new resources a new business might need!)
