Need Business Contacts?


You Are a CEO has tracked down a very helpful tool to generate new business contacts in the Chamber of Commerce Directories. It is simple. You just join a Chamber of Commerce, get a member directory, start attending their mixers and you will meet lots of new people with whom to do business with.

The Chamber Directory is a wonderful resource to use to contact people. The directories have all the facts, who, what, where. The Hercules Chamber has a very nice directory and also a Chamber map that show were the businesses are located.

Richmond and Oakland also have great guides. You can also use a Visitors Bureau such as the Vallejo Visitors Bureau which will have a guide book. These books make networking easy.

You can also use resources in business magazines such as the San Francisco Business Times who published the Book of Lists. To subscribe call (415) 288-4942 or email circ_sfbizjournals.com

Oh,

I wanted to ad that you can also advertise with school sports schedules because those are sent to 20,000 businesses and even though you dont get contact info they get to see you.

Vallejo High School has both a football and a basketball schedule and it is only $299 or $399.
