Delray Chamber Leads<br />
Group Generates more than<br />
$165,000 in Gross Dollar<br />
Sales Among Members<br />
COPYRIGHTED<br />
The Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce boasts many<br />
reasons why a business might want to join and participate<br />
but one of the organization’s Leads Groups, the Delray Business<br />
Partners, can give thousands of reasons why it would be more<br />
than worth joining.<br />
Leads Groups are entities within the Chamber comprised<br />
of local business people who share a simple belief—that they<br />
can be more successful together than on their own. Through<br />
leads, referrals, opportunities, sharing of best practices and<br />
encouraging each other through common experiences, each<br />
group builds a network of trust and confidence that helps its<br />
members thrive.<br />
Under the leadership of Jan Kinder, Chair of Delray Business<br />
Partners, the group has set a record for collaboration with one<br />
another. During 2019, the 35 members of the Delray Business<br />
Partners generated more than $165,000 of gross sales dollars<br />
by doing business with one another as well as by referring their<br />
colleagues in the group to other potential clients.<br />
According to Ms. Kinder, “Chamber leads groups allow members<br />
to develop strong relationships with their counterparts in<br />
a variety of other businesses. The friendship, trust, and support<br />
that is cultivated among its members lends to business<br />
and personal growth for all involved. At each meeting, members<br />
are encouraged to exchange business leads—potential<br />
clients or customers for other members of the group. In effect,<br />
their contacts become your contacts; their customers can become<br />
your customers. Members also rotate making short presentations<br />
about their businesses.”<br />
