When we speak negatively about a member from the same category of another chapter, it creates unnecessary barriers.

Collaboration suffers – People hesitate to connect with you if they hear you criticizing others.

Opportunities get blocked – Sometimes business naturally flows to that member, and your negative words may close the door for your own chances in the future.

No one likes criticism of their own work – Just as you don’t like negative talk about your business, others also feel the same.

👉 Instead of criticizing, focus on your strengths, your services, and your quality. This builds trust and makes others eager to collaborate with you.

Strong First Branding – When you meet and interact with your own chapter members first, they start creating your branding within their personal and business network circle much faster.

Easy Query Resolution – If any query or doubt arises while they are referring you, it becomes easier to solve since you are meeting them regularly in chapter meetings or at their workplace.

Better Visibility – Regular interactions with your chapter members increase your visibility and trust factor, making it more natural for them to refer you.

Faster References – Directly targeting other chapter members may take more time to build trust and get references. In comparison, your chapter members can start giving you opportunities earlier.

👉 Start strong with your own chapter, and let your branding grow step by step!
