What can the Chamber of Commerce do for you?

The Chamber of Commerce is an indispensable and important link in realizing the optimal allocation of resources under the conditions of market economy. It is an important link between the government and businessmen, businessmen and businessmen, and businessmen and society. Chambers of commerce generally have the following four legal characteristics: public welfare, folk nature, self-discipline, and legal nature.

Unfortunately, many businessmen do not understand the nature and role of the Chamber of Commerce, nor do they understand the role that participating in the Chamber of Commerce will have on their own development. There are many chambers of commerce of all kinds.

What kind of chamber of commerce is viable?

1. Whether an organization is viable or not depends on its values, concepts, business methods and other genes. Being viable does not necessarily mean being vigorous, but it will definitely continue to grow. When you join such an organization, you can develop in a good environment.

2. There is an atmosphere of continuous learning. China has been reforming and opening up for more than 30 years. In the past, most of the enterprises that developed rapidly were resource-oriented or relationship-oriented. However, in the future, this era of extensive production, relying on resource plunder or relying on "godfathers" has passed. When the general environment changes, you can only seek benefits from management, which places higher demands on the boss's own quality, and the boss has to learn. In an organization full of learning atmosphere, through communication, sharing, and discussion among peers, one can quickly and effectively learn the experience of implementing various management tools and explore effective methods suitable for their respective enterprises. If an excellent chamber of commerce can do this, it will have long-term vitality.

There is a saying that goes like this: The way you start will be the way you end. If it starts with eating and drinking, it will definitely end with eating and drinking. If it starts with learning, it will definitely end with learning to connect, but it is difficult to end with learning. Because learning is a lifelong thing and it never ends unless you don’t want to learn anymore. Therefore, when the core leadership of a chamber of commerce has an atmosphere of learning and the team's execution ability is strong enough to not stop at the stage of shouting slogans, you can add such an organization to the list of chambers of commerce to join.

I have heard many presidents and secretary-generals of associations say that when they develop members of chambers of commerce, they often encounter businessmen who ask, "What benefits will joining a chamber of commerce bring to me?"

What are the benefits of joining the Chamber of Commerce and what should you pay attention to?

1. Network

To do business, you must first have connections and connections. Network is the greatest wealth. Every successful entrepreneur understands that connections are more important than money, so he regards participating in social activities, getting to know more people, and having dinner parties as an extremely important task, and selects a few people from the people he has met for long-term development. The emotional investment of time eventually leads to good friends. As a result, these friends will definitely help you succeed at some point.

Once you join the Chamber of Commerce, you become a member of the Chamber of Commerce’s social circle, and due to the geographical relationship, it is easier to interact and communicate. As long as you are willing, you can quickly form a network of people who are useful to you. Network of relationships. There is a study that proves that as long as you have 6 friends, you have a way to get in touch with the world. Friends of friends are your friends. Participating in a chamber of commerce opens a door for you, allowing you to enter the broader society and integrate into the collective ranks. This should be a great way to build your network.

Notes:

1. Remember not to regard the platform as a place for you to do business and make profits. Everything will happen naturally, and there is no need to rush for quick success.

2. Never discuss someone in the circle, because you only know (him) her name and one side, you do not know (him) her truth and thoughts, let alone (him) What is her relationship with the people in your circle? Words of mouth are very important!

3. Know your position. Supporting someone's home field, competing for the honors, and trying to undermine each other will only lead to disintegration.

4. There are many people with different tastes, so be open to those who don’t like it. Life is like a passer-by. Those who are destined to have more contact in private, and those who are not destined to be together. Maybe one day we will meet on a narrow road. .

5. Human life is very short, and meeting each other is fate. People should cherish it when they can study, work, and do things together! Keep a true love in your heart and support each other.

Care for each other and grow together.

6. Be good at talking, don’t talk nonsense. A soft voice is powerful, and wisdom and calmness reveal its depth; if you are not good at talking, please smile and listen. Still water flows deep, and you are also a beautiful scenery.

7. Consolidate your abilities, do your best, choose a high-quality platform, participate to the best of your ability, and serve your circle to the best of your ability.

8. Dedication must be sincere. We are on the same platform and starting from the same starting point. There is no class, rich or poor, no pride and humbleness. It is not important to eat, drink and have fun. What is important is to work together to do more practical things and improve the quality of the circle. As long as Every day on the platform should be regarded as an honor. Do not belittle the reputation of the platform and its partners under any circumstances. This is also the basis of human character!

2. Information channels

Doing business requires timely grasp of policy information, investment information, project information, production and marketing information, price information, etc. If you can grasp macroeconomic trends, changes in macroeconomic control policies, market trends, and investment risk warnings in advance, at least you will increase the insurance factor for investment and business development, not to mention that maybe a piece of useful business information or an occasional business opportunity will often It arises from casual conversations among people. If you can be keenly aware, act in advance, and seize business opportunities, you may get a share of the market earlier than others.

As a group organization of businessmen, the Chamber of Commerce is a communication channel and a gathering place for information, with much more information than individual businesses. Participating in a chamber of commerce can not only obtain business information provided by the secretariat of the chamber of commerce, but the chamber of commerce can help promote products for free. You can also search for your partners in the member address book at any time. Other members will often introduce many businesses to each other. In addition, obtaining various information from government departments will be of great help to enrich knowledge, broaden horizons, and expand ideas.

3. Publicity window

A person must have a reputation in society; an enterprise must have credibility in society. In addition to relying on the individual's accumulated behavior over time, and relying on the company's own publicity, product quality, and after-sales service, this reputation and credibility can be obtained by joining the Chamber of Commerce and relying on the Chamber of Commerce's website, publications, conferences, and event promotions. This will achieve a publicity effect that costs less and achieves greater results.

Some people may say that I am not a big figure and my business is not big, so it doesn’t matter if I publicize or not; perhaps there are some businessmen, or even entrepreneurs, who have always kept a low profile and are not willing to make public. However, in my opinion, when the business reaches a certain level, external publicity becomes particularly important if you want to expand the influence of your products and increase your company's visibility. Publicity should not be viewed as a personal push for the limelight. In fact, the ultimate goal is to expand the business and achieve greater development of the enterprise. Personal reputation and business prosperity often complement each other and bring out the best in each other. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many companies spending huge sums of money on advertising in the media.

4. Help Platform

No matter how successful a person is, there will be times when he asks for help; no matter how smoothly a company operates, it will encounter emergencies or be unable to rely on its own capabilities. Solving problems requires the help of external brains and external forces. What's more, many of our businessmen who are engaged in small businesses or whose corporate strength is still relatively weak, in the early stages of starting a business or business expansion, are bound to ask for help from others from time to time.

By joining the Chamber of Commerce, you will have a platform for appeal. You can use the various relationships and channels that the Chamber of Commerce has established and the public relations resources owned by other business people in the Chamber of Commerce to help you coordinate, and even Solve the problems you encounter in the process of doing business such as land, projects, funds, product sales, and even various rights protection matters.

"What are the benefits of joining the Chamber of Commerce?" In my opinion, as long as you make good use of the platform of the Chamber of Commerce, you can not only get many benefits, as mentioned above. And when you encounter a problem, it makes a big difference whether you are there or not. Of course, what you should know is that you cannot expect the chamber of commerce to benefit every member. This is just like buying insurance. What you buy is peace of mind that nothing will happen to you. You cannot think that I paid the insurance premium in vain. But what if something happens to you? So you should pay some dues.

What's more, the president and vice-presidents of general chambers of commerce are responsible for most of the funds. Even if powerful entrepreneurs contribute more money to support the chamber of commerce, it is equivalent to helping people in the business community and subsidizing disadvantaged groups, which is natural. A righteous act of giving back to society.

5. The weight of discourse

As Wu Xiaobo said in the book "Thirty Years of Turbulence", the private economy "is both a breakthrough in the planned system and a violation of the current system. Those who do not have to wander in the gray area between legality and illegality." Based on this situation, many private businessmen are rich, but their social status is not high and their voice is not strong, unless you are a big boss. But once you join the Chamber of Commerce, the situation is completely different. You are the president, vice-president, secretary-general, executive director, director, etc. of the Chamber of Commerce. When you need to deal with the government, you have an additional identity that is valued by the government because of the power of the group, and what you want is , once your rights protection actions pass the chamber of commerce and a chamber of commerce comes forward, the weight of its words will be very different from your individual appeal.

In addition, the Chamber of Commerce also has the function of recommending powerful and influential entrepreneurs to the CPPCC and the National People's Congress. And this is precisely the best way to improve your social status and gain a certain say in the country's political life.
