Below you will find two images that show you how to activate this new service in your Chamber.
A leads group (also called a referral group or networking group) is a structured gathering of business professionals who meet regularly with the goal of generating new business for each other through referrals .


What Happens in a Leads Group?
  • One member per industry: Each group usually allows only one person per business category (e.g., one real estate agent, one accountant) to avoid internal competition.
  • Weekly or monthly meetings : Members meet on a consistent schedule, often early in the day.
  • Referral sharing : Members actively refer business to each other and track the value of those leads.
  • Relationship building : Over time, trust builds between members, leading to more frequent and higher-quality referrals.
  • Accountability : Members are often expected to attend regularly, bring referrals, and report results.
