Tip of the Month - Add Premium Add Members

If you are looking for a way to add a WHOLE LOT OF NEW VALUE to Chamber membership, we highly recommend that you add our Premium Membership Plan. 

It is 100% optional so it only is applied to those members who choose to pay a little more for their membership in order to get a whole lot more in return.

Additionally, since you are already a Chamber Nation customer, we will waive the one-time setup fee of $495 and provide you with brochures, professional customized explainer video for your website, and a incredibly valuable automated professional proposal delivery system.

Couple that with our terrific setup, educational services binder, and our expert consultations and you have a program worth thousands all ready to go!

Call Richard Scully to learn more. His cell is: (925) 699-9997

What is the Wednesday Workshop?

We noticed over the past several months that the number of questions during these meetings has gone way down, but the number of questions being sent into our support center has gone WAY up!  For this reason, we have decided to change the monthly meeting format. Welcome to the WEDNESDAY WORKSHOP.

We will still go over the updates and share important information, but we will then immediately jump into the workshop. We really want everyone to feel comfortable and be free to ask any questions. We intend to answer all of them on the call and via screensharing.

There is NO dumb question and please feel welcome and comfortable to participate.

Listen to Chamber Talk Radio

DirectoryPUSH - Coming Soon

Richard Scully, CEO

    The on-demand economy now requires a membership directory to respond in minutes, versus days. This is critical from our point-of-view. Why? Because you need the public to continue to view the Chamber of Commerce as the best local resource for business services and products, versus Amazon or Angie's list.

    We know that if the person using the Chamber directory does not get responses quickly enough, they will move on and likely never come back. However, if they have a great experience… that means business for your members first, which is our goal, and hopefully yours as well.
 

    Chamber Nation is working on a fully-integrated solution that we call DirectoryPUSH. This will bring even more member exclusivity and will not cost the Chamber anything extra. Since we know our customers, we are making the investment necessary to be sure this new program is fully integrated in your Chamber Nation system so that you won’t have any external list management, or other elements to worry about.

Be sure to check out the DirectoryPUSH Business Welcome Packet to learn more about this.
