Leadshare

Leadshare works because relationships grow business! Not sure if your business is a fit? Each of the groups welcomes visitors up to 2 times giving guests the opportunity to explore the benefits.

All that needs to be done, is to reach out to the officers listed for the group(s) you are interested in attending and ask for an invitation. You can also contact the Chamber directly who will be happy to make those arrangements on your behalf.

Guidelines:

• Applicants must be members of the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce to become members of any Leadshare.
• A member may be a corporation, partnership, or an individual, and in business full time.
• Members must be committed to learning about the businesses of other members so that they will be able to confidently make referrals.
• Members must attend regularly scheduled meetings or send a colleague who can represent the business to the group. Only one representative from each company may present at Leadshare, although more than one can attend. A member is allowed 10 absences in a year, the 11^th absence will prompt a review. **This excludes Friday Leadshare. Inquire with Friday Officers for details.
• Members must attempt to generate at least two qualified leads per month.
• Prospective members may attend two Leadshare meetings as a visitor. Chamber membership is not required for visitors, but they are not to pass out their cards nor solicit members, unless asked to do so. That is a privilege of membership.
• Potential business classification conflicts must be presented to the other business prior to group approval.
• Only one business category is permitted to join the Leadshare group. If there is a conflict because one company fills many niches, those 2 companies must work out and agree upon what area of their business they will specifically represent.

Tips to be a better Networker:

• Keep a supply of business cards or contact info available for your fellow Leadshare members. You never know when the opportunity will arise to hand them out.
• Be a good listener. Talking less will provide clues to potential prospects for you and fellow Leadshare members.
• Success and prosperity begin with generous referrals. Take advantage of every opportunity to support colleagues. It will pay off in returned referrals and support.
