Intuit Dropping Support for QuickBooks Desktop 2014


Intuit will be dropping support for QuickBooks Desktop 2014 on May 31, 2017.

If you are using this version (or earlier) of QuickBooks Desktop, you will want to Upgrade to QuickBooks 2015 or newer so that we can continue to integrate your QuickBooks with Chamber Nation.

You can read more about Intuit's decision as well as upgrade information by visiting this link:

Ask Sue - This Year, Be True to Your Core

Sue Hays, CBC

You: “Sue?”
 
Sue: “What?”
 
You: “I’ve got a question and I don’t know who to ask or what to do.”
 
Sue: “OK. That’s why I’m here. Ask away, and then we’ll either find the answer or find options for you to check into.”

 

The Christmas parties are all done and the stuff is all put away. The year-end wrap-up is completed. Now it’s time to get down to the business of 2017.
 
I don’t know about you, but I regard myself as a business. While this might be a bit of a different perspective to you, I invite you to try this out for yourself. You are an employee or a contractor, and you are a professional, but at the end of the day, you are a business because you bring home income for your household.

Brand New Membership Sales Training System


We are proud to announce a brand new automated system for membership sales training. We think many of you will get real results from using this new tool. If you like what you learn, feel free to send this link (below) to your staff, board members, and ambassadors so they can better understand the value of Chamber of Commerce membership.
 
Chamber Nation is here to help dramatically improve the value of membership. This value has outpaced our training which has been leaving a big void. This is the reason this tool has been launched - we wanted to match the current value with your understanding for better prospect presentations.  

If you invest 15 minutes, taking this training, we think you will end the training impressed. It will certainly help your staff present your current value proposition to increase membership sales.  

We welcome your feedback and frankly are looking forward to it.

Great Sample of a Member Benefit Broadcast Message

The Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce sent out the following broadcast message to all of their members.  This is a great sample of what you can send to your members to encourage them to take advantage of all of the included Member Benefits:

Dear Ryan, 
 

It has come to our attention that some of our members are not taking advantage of the many digital membership benefits they have. These benefits include the ability to register for events, post job opportunities to TrabajaVA.com, submit press releases and events, TCS pages and so much more.
 

What's a TCS page? A TCS page, or Traffic Catching Site, is a simple landing page that increases your online visibilty via search engines. Your TCS page acts as a way for fellow VAHCC members and the community to learn more about your business's services. The best part about it is the VAHCC team will set it up for you! All you have to do is request set up, send us some information and we do the rest. 
 

How do you request set up? Login to your VAHCC member account and look for a red button on the top left-hand side that says "request set up". Take a moment to view some examples of your fellow members TCS pages: StreetShares, Dyer Immigration Law Group, HS Commercial Cleaning or Nerium!


Do you want even more marketing exposure without paying a ton of money? Ask us about our Premium Membership Plans! For a small additional fee, the VAHCC will take a more active role in marketing your business and list you on the Hispanic Buyers Guide. 
 

We hope that you will take a few minutes to explore your VAHCC account and all that it has to offer. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing your TCS pages!
 

Thank you,
​VAHCC Team
