Welcome to the Buffalo Grove Area Chamber of Commerce

Perfect Your Business Introduction

Do you struggle at networking events to describe the key points about your business in the limited time you’re given? Are you succinct and to the point, or do you ramble and run out of time before you’ve said all you want people to know? Are you clear about what you want to communicate?

At this after hours workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to craft an effective 15-20 sec. introduction to your business. So make sure you can “rise” to the occasion by perfecting an “elevator” speech that’s sure to WOW! You’ll use your final product to introduce yourself later in the meeting. To save time, please come prepared with a list of the features and benefits of your product or service.

The cost is $20 and will include an appetizer buffet and cash bar. Reservations are required by Noon on June 25th. (Non-members pay $30.) Don’t miss out on this great opportunity. Walk-ins will be accepted.
