Leveraging Our Trusted Network to Grow Your Business
Wrap-up Export League by Global Chamber Phoenix®
It’s a new day out here for better and for worse, and either way it’s a new reality, and so we regularly share ideas to leverage virtual opportunities for members to find more success. Global Chamber shifted at the start of the pandemic to a virtual platform that has been assisting our members to grow in a variety of ways. The main thing that we’ve always done and continue to do every day is make warm introductions of members to executives that we know who could become clients, partners or resources for their business growth. We’ve also always done globinars, which are our own educational webinars created by Global Chamber that assist members to reach the next level with information to grow and succeed. We’ve upped the number of these, and we’re also sharing pertinent programs by our members and collaborators — totaling more than 100 coming up at any time. Our signature events continue, and we sometimes break up the meetings at the end to connect members with each other within the metro or across metros — like our events International
State of the Metro, Women in Global Leadership and Global Innovation Summit and Grow Globally Fair. We also are presenting virtual meetings that connect our members to other members and opportunities — like Virtual Dining, pictured above with a recent networking dinner across metro regions over an Italian meal. Other programs like this include League of Extraordinaries (speed dating for business service providers), League of Opportunities (introduction of new business opportunities by members), Export League (connecting exporters to international clients) and Online Global Women Networking. Our members connect to grow! I spoke at a globinar with members of the global tribe at Global Chamber® to discuss how to be more effective and proactive with selling across metros and borders within a pandemic. It was educational and fun to hear each of the speakers contribute tips and ideas, and there was significant agreement on the value of having and leveraging a trusted network.
