ChamberPower: Turning your chamber membership into sales and profits - simply...and at low cost

Sept. 29, 2009 - PRLog -- ChamberPower, sponsored by The Central Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce will be presented on Friday October 9, 2009 at 9:00 AM in the Chamber offices at 3288 Post Road, Warwick. This free seminar describes the simple steps you can take to dramatically increase your sales by participating in a chamber of commerce. The program lasts about one hour and will be presented by Richard Nagele.

It is true, your small investment in chamber membership can translate into significant sales and access to important resources with just a few simple steps.  While helping your community survive challenges and thrive (which indirectly help your business) is one of the major reasons to participate in a chamber, there are others.  One such benefit is ChamberPower.  This program outlines in a clear easy-to-follow strategy the steps you can take to translate your chamber membership investment and a small amount of time into dollars - even in challenging times.

Rick Nagele is a member of the Chamber and participant on the marketing committee, former chairman of the Board and past Vice President of the Rhode Island Hospitality Association.

Nagele, formerly a Visiting Assistant Professor of Marketing at the University of Rhode Island, is known as an informative and entertaining speaker.

“…Rich Nagele is an excellent presenter.” Terry Feeley, President, Laser Fare Ltd.

“Your presentation was full of facts and suggestions that the participants could put to use easily, quickly and, more importantly, profitably. Best of all, you accomplished this in such a manner that all present remained alert, interested and challenged.” Sue Barker, (former Director), South County Tourism Council.

“Richard, I thought the content of your presentation was excellent and it fit in very well with the other speakers at the meeting. You also presented the information in a very interesting and understandable way.
