“Since we started hosting lunches, I noticed a difference right away. The people we are attracting now are a different crowd — in a positive way.They are people who may not have thought to try us before. People tell me their friend did Connect for Lunch and told them to come by and try it. I know it is working. As a participant in the program, I have had a chance to see what other businesses are doing. People I’ve met are doing my business cards, my marketing and checking on my insurance. It also has been great to see other restaurants and get new ideas.”
Why I joined the Chamber
“After being a growing performance improvement and instructional design company for over eight years, I decided a year and a half ago to join the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce. It’s a decision I’m glad I made! I’ve made new and valuable connections through the networking provided by Professional Women’s Forum lunches, their Annual Breakfasts, the CEO forum, and their amazing annual Amelia Island Chamber conference. I’ve also benefited from being a member of one of the Chamber committees and working closely with other successful businesspersons. In addition, key Chamber staff have brokered introductions for me as needed to advance my business interests. As the result, I find I’ve developed increasingly close connections with influential community members and have gotten great business referrals that are paying off in tangible ways. I have nothing but good to say about the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce. I hope you will consider joining us in building a better future for ourselves and our Tallahassee neighborhood.”
