Unfortunately, many businessmen don't know the nature and function of the Chamber of Commerce, and they don't understand what role participating in the Chamber of Commerce will have on their own development. Chambers of commerce are numerous and varied.
What kind of chamber of commerce is feasible?
First, whether an organization has vitality depends on its values, ideas, management methods and other genes. The vitality may not be strong, but it will certainly grow. Only by joining such an organization can we develop in a good environment.
Second, there is an atmosphere of continuous learning. After more than 30 years of reform and opening up in China, most of the enterprises that developed rapidly in the past were resource-based or relational, but the era of extensive production, resource plunder or "michel platini" in the future has passed. The environment has changed, so we can only ask the management for benefits, which puts higher demands on the boss's own quality, and the boss should also learn. In an organization full of learning atmosphere, through communication, sharing and discussion among peers, we can learn the experience of landing various management tools quickly and effectively, and explore effective methods suitable for their respective enterprises. And if an excellent chamber of commerce can do this, it will have long-term vitality.
There is a good saying: what kind of beginning will have what kind of end. If you start with eating and drinking, you will definitely end with eating and drinking. If you start with learning, you will definitely end with learning, but it is difficult to learn. Because learning is a lifetime thing, unless you don't want to study any more, it can't be over. Therefore, when the core leaders of a chamber of commerce have a learning atmosphere and the team execution is strong enough to stop at the slogan stage, such organizations can be included in the list of chambers of commerce.
I have heard from the presidents and secretaries-general of many associations that when the Chamber of Commerce expands its membership, businessmen often ask, "What are the benefits of joining the Chamber of Commerce?" ?
What are the advantages of joining the Chamber of Commerce and what should I pay attention to?
First, the personal network
To do business, you must first have contacts and connections. Networking is the greatest wealth. Every successful entrepreneur knows that connections are more important than money, so he will take it as an extremely important job to participate in social activities, get to know more people, have dinner and socialize, and choose a few people from the people he knows to make long-term emotional investment and eventually become good friends. In this way, these friends will certainly help each other and help them succeed in a certain period of time.
Once you join the Chamber of Commerce, you will become a person in the social circle of the Chamber of Commerce, and it is easier to communicate and exchange because of the geographical relationship. As long as you have the heart, you can quickly form useful contacts. A study proves that as long as you have six friends, you can touch the world. A friend of a friend is your friend. Joining the Chamber of Commerce will open a door for you to enter the broad society and join the collective ranks. This should be a shortcut for you to form contacts.
Precautions:
1. Remember never to regard the platform as a place where you do business and create profits. Everything goes with the flow, and there is no need for quick success.
2. Never discuss people in the circle, because you only know (him) her name and one-sidedness, you don't know (him) her truth and thoughts, and you don't know (him) her relationship with people in your circle. It's important to speak well!
3. Recognize your position. In whose home field you want to win, usurp the role of the host and tear each other down, and the result will only come to an end.
4, many people mix, you don't like it. You are all passers-by in a hurry. You have a lot of personal contact, and you have no chance to make up the number. Maybe one day there will be a narrow road.
5, a person's life is very short, meet is fate, people can study together, work together, * * * things to cherish! Keep a true feeling in your heart and support each other. Care for each other and grow together.
6, good at talking, don't talk nonsense. Soft and powerful, wisdom calmly reveals depth; If you are not good at talking, please smile and listen. Still water is deep, and you are also a beautiful scenery.
7. Consolidate your ability, be yourself, choose a high-quality platform, participate as much as possible, and do your best to serve your circle.
8. Dedication should be sincere. The same platform, the same starting point. No class wealth, no pride and humility. Eating, drinking and having fun is not important. It is important for Qi Xin to work together to do more practical things and improve the quality of the circle. As long as you are on the podium, you should feel it is an honor. In any case, don't belittle the reputation of the platform and partners at will. This is also the basis of character!
Second, information channels.
Doing business requires timely understanding of policy information, investment information, project information, production and marketing information, price information, etc. If you can grasp the macroeconomic trends, macro-control policy changes, market trends and investment risk early warning in advance, at least you will increase the insurance coefficient of investment development, not to mention that perhaps a useful business information or an accidental business opportunity often comes from people's casual conversation. You can be keenly aware that if you act in advance and seize business opportunities, you may get a share of it earlier than others.
As a group organization of businessmen, the Chamber of Commerce is a gathering place for communication channels and information, and its information content is much more than that of individual businessmen. Participating in the Chamber of Commerce can not only get business information provided by the Secretariat of the Chamber of Commerce, but also help to promote products free of charge. You can also find your partner in the member address book at any time, and other members often introduce many businesses to each other. In addition, obtaining all kinds of information from government departments will be of great help to enrich knowledge, broaden horizons and expand ideas.
Third, the publicity window
A person must have a reputation in society; An enterprise must have credibility in society. The gain of this reputation depends not only on the long-term behavior of individuals, but also on the company's own publicity, product quality and after-sales service. If you join the Chamber of Commerce, you can get great publicity effect with less money by relying on the publicity of the website, publications, conferences and activities of the Chamber of Commerce.
Some people may say that I am not a person and my business is not big. It doesn't matter if I promote it or not. Perhaps some businessmen, even entrepreneurs, have always kept a low profile and are unwilling to make public. But in my opinion, if the business reaches a certain level, it is particularly important to expand the influence of products and improve the visibility of enterprises. Propaganda can't be regarded as personal publicity. In fact, the ultimate goal is to make the business bigger and for the greater development of the enterprise. Personal reputation and business prosperity often complement each other. Otherwise, not so many enterprises will spend huge sums of money to advertise in the media.
Fourth, help platform.
No matter how successful a person is, there will be times to ask for help; No matter how smoothly an enterprise operates, it will encounter unexpected events or problems that cannot be solved by itself, and it needs the help of external brain and external force. What's more, many of our businessmen who are engaged in small businesses or relatively weak in strength will inevitably ask for help from time to time at the beginning of starting a business or expanding their business.
After joining the Chamber of Commerce, you will have a complaint platform, which can help you coordinate and even solve the land, projects, funds, product sales and even various rights protection problems you encounter in the course of doing business with the help of various relationships, channels and public relations resources owned by other business personnel of the Chamber of Commerce.
"What are the benefits of joining the Chamber of Commerce?" In my opinion, as long as you are good at using the platform of chamber of commerce, you can not only get many benefits, as mentioned above. And when you have a problem, being present and not being present are very different. Of course, you should know that you can't expect the Chamber of Commerce to benefit every member. It's like buying insurance. You can buy peace of mind. You can't think I paid the insurance premium for nothing. But what if something happens to you? So you should pay the membership fee. What's more, most of the funds of the general chamber of commerce come from the president and vice president. Even if powerful entrepreneurs pay more to support the chamber of commerce, it is equivalent to helping the business folks and subsidizing the disadvantaged groups, and it is also a righteous act to repay the society.
Fifth, the right to speak is heavy.
As Wu Xiaobo said in the book "Thirty Years of Agitation", the private economy "is not only a breakthrough in the planned system, but also a violator of the current system, and has to wander in the gray area of legality and illegality". Based on this situation, many private businessmen have money, but their social status is not high and their right to speak is not great unless you are a big boss. But once you join the chamber of commerce, the situation is very different. You are the president, vice president, secretary general, executive director and director of the Chamber of Commerce. When you need to deal with the official, you will gain an official identity because of the strength of the group. Once your rights protection demands and actions pass through the Chamber of Commerce, the weight of your words will be very different from your single demands.
In addition, the Chamber of Commerce 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 your right to speak in the political life of the country.
