What has the Chamber
done for YOUR business?
What hasn't the
Chamber done for MY business!When I was asked to join the Lincoln County
Chamber of Commerce I wondered why. I was already an established business
in Lincoln County with clientele. I ranked at the top fo the scoreboards
across the nation in sales, was at the top of my unit with recruiting,
and had National Sales Directors from out of state wanting me to train
their consultants. What more could I ask for?
Andi continued
to approach me and finally I joined. Only days later did she send the Advocate
Messenger to do a cover story on my business. Thinking this might draw
a couple more customers and knowing full well that usually these things
never are profitable I agreed and was interviewed. After the reporter took
some quick photos and asked her questions she left with, "I think it might
be run on Sunday, but more likely Monday." Great, was my thought, the business
section on Sunday, or page 7 in Monday's edition, right between Deal Heloise
and the Horoscopes. Looking hopeful I called my mother and grandmother
to make sure they would see the article. Sunday afternoon my Grandmother
called to inform me that "I didn't make the paper." I told her it would
definately be tomorrow so just wait and see. Oh boy, did we see.
When the paper
hit on Monday I was waiting at the machine to make sure I got more than
one copy for my quarter and low and behold... the front page, the headline,
full color picture and a fabulous story. I was ecstatic with my coverage,
the Lincoln Ledger picked up the story for Wednesday's edition. Only days
later did I receive a phone call from News Channel 27 wanting to do a story
on me. The rest is history.
I still receive
phone calls from people around the nation that go to google.com and search
for "Mary Kay Man" and give me a call. My business you ask? Out of the
150,000 consultants in my national division I ranked number 19.
What can the Chamber
do for you and your business? |
