Thursday Leads Group: Launch Meeting

Irvine Chamber - Leads Groups at the Irvine Chamber

The Leads Groups are the Chamber’s premier lead generation and referral networks. These popular referral groups have helped hundreds of professionals gain a competitive advantage in the Irvine and Orange County marketplace, as well as build lasting professional and personal relationships. The Irvine Chamber Leads Groups are made up of business professionals who have the desire to improve their income by forming relationships with other Chamber members for the purpose of exchanging direct client referrals and leads.

Leads Groups are comprised of 25 - 30 individuals that meet twice a month in non-competing industries to help each other with selling techniques, presentation skills, recruiting, strategic partnerships, referral exchange, professional relationships and more. Participation in these groups is an exclusive yet complimentary benefit of membership. The Leads Groups follow a non-competing format and are limited to one person per industry and/or profession.

Members of the Leads Group Program will:

Learn how to pass and receive leads
Meet and develop strategic business partners
Gain exposure to like-minded professionals
Have access to the entire membership of the ICC
Participate in volunteer opportunities
Increase profits
Create lifetime connections

Join a group today to gain instant camaraderie, friendships and strategic alliances!

Each meeting consists of a 30-second introduction where members share their competitive advantages and describe their perfect lead. Then business leads are exchanged with others in the group. For more information please contact Danielle Spellman at (949) 502-4121 or by email [email protected]

Member Qualifications

In order to represent a category in a Leads Group the member must be listed under that category with the Chamber.

1. Be an official representative of a business/organization which is an active and current member of the Irvine Chamber of Commerce.
2. Be deemed qualified and cleared of conflicts by the Chamber’s Leads Group Coordinator.
3. Be presented to the respective group’s Leadership Team to ensure there is no conflict among the current membership.
4. The Leadership Team, in consultation with the Chamber Leads Group Coordinator, will have final determination on potential conflicts.

C. Only one representative per business/organization may participate in a specific Leads Group.

D. To avoid conflicts of interest, members may only be involved in one Chamber Leads Group.

E. In rare instances, the Leadership Team may deny the membership of any potential member based on past performance in another Chamber Leads Group and/or a negative experience(s) with another member of the group.

The Leads Groups are a benefit for Irvine Chamber Members. Visitor's may attend one time for a $25 fee. This fee will be applied towards membership if the visiting company joins the chamber within the same calendar month.
