Copyright 2012 AmSpirit Business Connections

involved with groups or organizations in your

area, such as ...

Area Chambers Of Commerce

Whatever the case, membership in one or more of these

groups or organizations is a great venue for ...

Creating Exposure In The Community

Networking Yourself And Business

Generating Business Opportunities


To take advantage of the

opportunity and reap

the benefits of

membership, you need

to undertake seven

simple actions.


To ensure that you remain in

the minds of your fellow

members, plan to be in

attendance as often as

possible. As the old adage

“out of sight; out of mind”

could not be more true.

CONSISTENTLY ATTEND


Establishing a relationship can

be difficult to achieve as

organizations roll through the

agenda in a timely manner.

Thus, it is the time before and

after these meetings where you

have the best opportunity to

develop one-on-one rapport.

COME EARLY…STAY LATE


Even if your group or organization

gathers on a weekly basis, there is a

vast time between meetings. You

benefit most when you make

productive use of this time, via

telephone calls or e-mails, informal

luncheons, and other

communication.

ASSOCIATE BETWEEN MEETINGS


Step up. Serve as an officer, a

committee chair or generally just roll

up your sleeves and get busy. Not only

does this increase your exposure to

other members, it serves to brand you

as one who is committed to the of those

around you.

GET INVOLVED


Right or wrong, everything

you say and do creates an

impression. Knowing this,

carefully conduct yourself. Act

professionally. While you can

employ humor, do so wisely.

Choose your words carefully

and tactfully.

PRESENT YOURSELVES WELL


People cannot help but like and

support those who are helping

them. Knowing this, you are wise

to find ways to help your fellow

members. Look for opportunities

to refer them to customers and

clients. What you give, will

ultimately come back to you.

ADD VALUE TO OTHERS


You can realize a plethora

of benefits from joining and

becoming involved with

groups and organizations.

Unfortunately, however,

these benefits are seldom

immediate. They take time

to manifest themselves.

BE PATIENT


If, you want to maximize the benefits

associated with membership, reflect

upon your activities and measure them

against the actions listed above.

If you note deficiencies, take action ...

as that will lead to wonderful benefits.
