Benefits
|
|
The primary benefit of LBN membership is the increase in business that results from having a team of local business professionals promoting your business on a daily basis!
-
First, you receive orders from members themselves as they develop trust in you by doing business with you.
-
Next, fellow members begin referring you to friends, relatives, business associates and customers. It is estimated that each of us knows over 2,000 individuals - in a chapter of 25 members, you therefore gain access to as many as 50,000 prospects!
-
Introductions to acquaintances of fellow LBN members who are in a position to help your business in other ways can be as important as referrals.
-
Finally, those members who develop a strong working relationship often explore and develop co-operative marketing efforts.
-
We also encourage referrals between chapters through our intranet site, quarterly mixers and the match making efforts of our regional staff.
A secondary benefit of LBN membership is your personal growth!
-
You develop skills as a networker.
-
Many become more accomplished public speakers.
-
You develop skills as a team player.
-
Each week you broaden your business knowledge as fellow members train you in the basics of their profession.
-
You gain respect by being recognized as an LBN member who has strong ties to other business leaders in your community.
-
Others will begin to turn to you for advice because of your contacts and association with respected community business leaders.
Your associations with other LBN members can provide other benefits as well!
-
Most important are the lifelong friendships that develop.
-
Fellow LBN members can also become an important source of counseling for a broad variety of business and personal issues.
-
Mentoring relationships sometimes develop between our more experienced members and those who are just starting out in business.
