Mission Statement
Lake Worth Chamber Referral Group (LWCRG) is one of the many benefits of being a member of The Greater Lake Worth Chamber of Commerce and consists of professional men and women; one in each business category, who promote each other by using a proven networking model for increasing business through the exchange of qualified referrals.

LWCRG Model
The idea of networking, as practiced by members of the Lake Worth Chamber Referral Group (LWCRG), is an improvement on other organizations that suggest networking. It is based on a systematic practice of specific skills which raises networking to a fine art. Essentially, we assist each person to succeed by having them follow a plan and by repeating that plan over time. This instills a philosophy of business and even a way of life that all but guarantees an enjoyable and potentially profitable business experience.

At LWCRG we allow only one business category in each Group. This means that you will not be competing with other companies in your industry. Instead of "after hours" business card exchange events, we focus exclusively on your business and seek opportunities to give you referrals. Business card exchanges only give you an opportunity to "get acquainted;" with people, however, do not "do business" with your business card. Within the structure of the LWCRG, we incorporate the elements needed to build strong ongoing relationships for your success. We ask our members to give a minimum of two referrals monthly which is consistent with our purpose.

We know the importance of getting to know, like, and trust our members; so everything we do is driven by that concept. We come to know you because you are scheduled regularly to present information about your business. We grow to like you because we meet weekly and visit with you. We learn to trust you when we give you a referral and you handle it well.

Structured networking is a successful method, when consistently practiced by LWCRG members, which enhances "word of mouth" advertising for increased sales.
