Receiving referrals is much better than making "cold calls," receiving recommendations is far more effective than receiving referrals. We listen to people referred to us, but more times than not, we buy from those who were recommended. The best way to get consistent recommendations is to develop and nurture relationships with those who are willing to speak positively about you. A great place to develop and nurture relationships with Christian businesspeople is Fellowship Friday. This is not a typical networking meeting - instead of bringing leads we want you to bring your character and personality.

Every week we meet at two different locations in Central Florida and do fun exercises designed to help us get to know each other better. This is a great opportunity to meet other chamber members in a relaxed setting.

Our morning meeting begins at 7:30 AM and ends at 9:00 AM. Our afternoon meeting begins at 1:30 PM and ends at 3:00 PM.Though Fellowship Friday is a benefit for chamber members, non-members are invited to attend two meetings prior to making a decision to join our chamber.

For more information or if you would like to host a Fellowship Friday, call Mark at 407-484-3899.
