The Greater Owensboro Chamber Presents -Make a Business Connection

The Chamber's no-cost focused networking event—Make a Business Connection—will be held TOMORROW (Friday) from 11:30 am to 1 pm at the Commerce Center. Bring business cards, potential first-time customer offers—anything that will entice Chamber members who attend to try your products or service. This is the second of five opportunities for "sellers" in the Owensboro Buys It! expo on October 27th to practice their "elevator pitch." All "sellers" must attend at least two Make a Business Connections. 

Make a Business Connection is open to all Chamber members.

A free lunch will be served compliments of PizzaRoma.

Make a Business Connection and Owensboro Buys It are just two of the many ways local businesses benefit from Chamber Membership. Here is a brief outline of what the Owensboro Buys it Program is about:

Owensboro Buys It! is a Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce program designed to connect smaller Chamber of Commerce members that sell products and/or services with the purchasing decision-makers at larger local companies/industry/organizations. There is no cost to Chamber members, only lots of opportunity! Thousands of dollars of business were created between local companies in 2009 and 2010—the first two years of Owensboro Buys It!

- The 2011 “Owensboro Buys It!” expo will be held on Thursday, October 27th from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Hines Center. A light breakfast will be served starting at 7:30 a.m. with the one-on-one appointments starting at 8 a.m.

- “Elevator pitch” training for “sellers” will be held from noon to 1 p.m. n Tuesday, June 14th. Businesses that have qualified as a “seller” in either 2009 or 2010 DO NOT need to attend an “elevator pitch” training session. Chamber members that have not participated in the past two years must attend at least one session.

- Make a Business Connections will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Fridays June 17th, July 15th, August 19th, September 23rd and October 21st. To qualify to attend the expo, all “sellers” must attend at least two of these Make a Business Connection events to practice your “elevator pitch.” This includes members who participated in 2009 or 2010.

To register as a "seller" or "buyer", call Ashley Bradshaw at 926-1860
