What to Expect from a Park City Chamber Consultation

A chamber consultation for businesses is a valuable first step for growth and connection. During a Park City Chamber consultation, we want to learn about your business so we can provide information to help you make a decision that brings value.  
 

Rather than trying to pitch you to join the chamber, we offer a one-on-one, no pressure conversation to discuss your business goals. We then provide clarity on what the chamber can offer in terms of business support and networking, and help get you plugged into the community.
 

Elizabeth Bolton, Partner Service Development Manager, explains:

 “We don't want to hard sell people. It's not about numbers for us; it's about bringing value to the community and finding partners who will get value from joining the chamber. It's about the quality of the partnership.”

What Is a Chamber Consultation, Really?

Here at the Park City Chamber, a consultation with us is a collaboration. First, we start off by getting to know you better with a personalized conversation about your business. We focus on identifying your opportunities, challenges, and goals. Then, we follow up by tapping into our local expertise and resources to share insights and identify opportunities that could help your business grow and thrive.

It Starts with Your Goals (Not Ours)

A consultation is not about us, but about you and your business. We want to understand your business needs for success and will do so by asking a few questions, such as what you are trying to achieve right now. What are the challenges you’ve been facing in your businesses? Are you looking for more visibility or connections in the community?
 

Your responses help us determine how your goals align with what we offer and if it makes sense for you to join. If you want your business to be more visible, to get plugged into the community and are looking for support or growth, these may be indicators that the chamber can help.
 

“It's not for us to tell someone whether or not they should join the chamber,” Bolton says. “It's for them to decide if it makes sense and it's in alignment with their goals.”

What We’re Listening For

During our consultation, we’ll evaluate whether we are the right fit. We do this by learning your goals, networking needs, community interests, and operational challenges. We aren’t just looking to be relevant. We want to understand how we can actually be useful to you and your business.

For example, if a business is trying to connect more with the community, we’d take that as a good indicator that joining a chamber might be useful. Not only do we have access to many networking opportunities, but options to post in our newsletter and serve on boards. We also help form partnerships by connecting partners with others who may be looking to collaborate on their business needs.
 

What You’ll Walk Away With

Following a consultation with the Park City Chamber, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to proceed with the next steps if you choose, along with introductions or connections to help form partnerships within the community right away.

We’re also happy to recommend events or other opportunities to participate in and meet fellow partners in the chamber while providing clear guidance on how you can make your business more visible with our newsletter, listings, and promotions. Some of our committees even invite partners to participate as panelists.

How the Chamber Supports Your Business

The Park City Chamber is not just a membership. It is a advocate and resource for you and your business to rely on. We support your business by providing more visibility with marketing exposure, and help create connection.
 

We have resources that offer the tools, programs and business guidance to allow for growth while offering advocacy with representation at local and state levels.
 

Our benefits don’t come with a steep membership fee either. We don’t rely on these dues for full funding, which makes it easier for small businesses and non-profits to join and access our benefits.
