Chamber Referral Groups
Leads In Our Neighborhood (LIONS)
ABOUT: The LIONS are a business-to-business referral group of the Chamber. Our mission is to:
- generate new business for our members
- to provide professional reference to our clients
- support the ideals of the WS Chamber
We are called Business-to-Business because our members are primarily focused on approaching companies rather than individuals.
Since October 2008, we have documented over $500,000 in sold business. Our success is directly related to the demand to pass qualified referrals. A referral is defined as a personal introduction where the company being referred expects the referred company's call to discuss products/services.
VENUE: We meet every Tuesday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:00. Each quarter, we change location to explore new meeting spaces as well as to help other Chamber restaurants/meeting space members increase their business on Tuesday afternoons.
Our current meetings are being held at WS Prime (425 N. Cherry Street, FREE valet parking) with Triad Business Networking to follow.
INVITATION: Following our normal meetings, we have open networking over refreshments to discuss new business opportunities and to learn more about our members. Additionally, we have a standing visitor's day on the third Tuesday of every month.
We invite you to join us to learn more about our group and the membership within.
