We don’t require members of Global Chamber to “network” in order to find new clients and resources. That can feel like a needle in a haystack adventure and isn’t productive unless it is designed properly. Networking can be useful for younger leaders as they build their networks, but should it be necessary for more experienced leaders? Not always.
The alternative? “Connecting” — being connected through warm introductions and tailored events like the Global Chamber “League of Extraordinaries,” “League of Opportunities,” “Export League” and more that are designed to create focused connections just right and in the targets of members. As a member of Global Chamber, there’s no need to network, but by being connected through warm introductions and focused introductions, magic and business growth result.
