Maumee Chamber of Commerce

It's all about effective networking.

DRP is open to Chamber members, taking one representative from each profession per group.

The Power of Referrals! Are you looking for a way to grow your business? Take advantage of the Maumee Chamber networking program, Dynamic Referral Partners (DRP).

DRP is open to Chamber members, taking one representative from each profession per group. The main focus of the program is to pass qualified leads and do business together. You will establish professional relationships that will serve as a vital resource to growing your business. This program requires a commitment to attend the meetings and be an active participant.

Meeting Schedule: All DRP Groups meet at the Maumee Indoor Theater (side door).  No one meets if there is a 5th week in the month.

DRP Fees: There is an annual fee of $45. You must be a Chamber member in good standing to begin or renew your DRP membership. In addition, you will incur a "meeting" fee of $10 which includes your lunch, payable at each meeting.

Meeting Format:
Each meeting begins with 15 minutes of open networking and check-in. The meeting follows the same agenda and structure that is proven to be effective and rewarding, and includes:

Passing business cards
Members give a 60-second commercial
Guests are introduced and give a 60-second commercial
Two members give a 5-minute presentation about their services
5-minute presentation on topics relating to business growth & sustainability                                                                 Referral Passing

Attendance Requirements: Attendance is important. DRP provides an effective way to network, but requires serious-minded business people to make it work. What you will get is referrals for new business, and 20 or more business people promoting your services to their friends and business contacts on an on-going basis. Members can miss 3 meetings every 6 months. Absence is not counted against you if a suitable substitute is sent in your place. It is important to be an active participant in DRP in order to make the program successful for yourself and others.

Guest Policy: Guests are always welcomed, and can attend two meetings before making a decision to join. Prospective members must turn in an application to be considered and multiple applicants for the same profession will be reviewed by the DRP officers. Chamber Membership is required to participate in DRP. Membership dues begin at $150 a year.
