BOOST Business Coaching
Your Business – More Profit, Less Hands On
When I carry out an initial assessment on prospective clients I always enquire to see if they are members of their local Chamber of Commerce and other networking groups such as BNI.
The reason is pretty clear – a small investment offers so much for small businesses.
Benefits of Chamber of Commerce membership
- Targeted marketing
- Networking Services
- Advocacy & Lobbying
- Business Advice & Referral
- Events services
- Education and Training
- International Services
- Member to Member Services and Savings
It is vital as Small Businesses that we stick together and support the Infrastructure that gives small business a voice
A few years ago I wrote a series of white papers on how to make the most of your membership of these organisations.
The first one of these is ‘Lobbying and Advocacy Services – What are they? How they can help?”
You can get a copy of this whitepaper by entering your details here
In this paper you can see how the amount of legislation in New Zealand has increased over the last century or so. You will also discover how you can contribute to ensure that small business has an effective voice.
Check out the websites of the Chambers of Commerce that BOOST belongs to – Our policy is; Where-ever we do business we belong to the Local Chamber.
