Choose the Mark LeBlanc Edition
Chamber Nation has worked with Mark LeBlanc to develop a new edition of the Chamber Nation program. This new edition is called the "Mark LeBlanc Edition".

Since its launch we have seen a significant increase in member participation. One of the toughest things chamber executives have to deal with is convincing those who don't participate in Chamber of Commerce events of the value of membership.

An important goal of the Mark LeBlanc Edition is to help non-participating members realize the value of chamber membership, even if they don't attend events or networking opportunities.

Small Business Success = Member Success

Mark LeBlanc, President of Small Business Success, based in Minneapolis, MN, has unique expertise on the core issues that business owners and professionals face on a daily basis. His flagship presentation and his new book, “Growing Your Business”, both address issues of selling more products and increasing services. The positive impact of his approach has resulted in business owners feeling more focused which, in turn, results in attracting more prospects, stimulating more referrals, and ultimately generating more business.

As an independent entrepreneur, LeBlanc has owned several businesses. He speaks, writes, and consults on street-smart strategies for success in times of challenge and change. He is uniquely qualified to address audiences, both small and large, and can deliver an inspirational address, as well as a content-rich general session, hands-on workshop, or a multi-day program.

Mark will tailor his presentation to fit the objectives of a particular organization. He can deal with issues including the money side of business, successful positioning strategies, developing a comprehensive marketing plan, setting up a system for staying focused, and performing at the highest level on a daily basis. He has developed a comprehensive, one-of-a kind, business development philosophy that incorporates the right blend of wisdom, strategy, insight, and ideas which are practical and can be implemented immediately.

Mark is a member of Master Speakers International. He is a seasoned veteran with the National Speakers Association and currently serves as NSA President. Mark was inducted into the Minnesota Speakers Association Hall of Fame in 2006. His style is best described as magnetic, approachable, and laced with a unique sense of humor.

Mark's new book entitled, "Growing Your Business When You Are The Business" will be released later this year.

A Planned Business Development Program for Members

Economic development and business vitality is what many Chambers of Commerce work to achieve within their local areas. Success in many of these areas depends on business efficiencies and outreach principals adopted by members of the chamber. Education is a key ingredient to any successful business, but with today’s competitive landscape and the rapid pace, little time is left for education.

Chamber Nation in association with Mark LeBlanc, the founder of Small Business Success and past president of the National Speakers Association (NSA), has developed a PROVEN strategy to grow business. The principles found in Mark's books and seminar series are called the Achievers Circle and have been used to create an inter-active coach. This unique program is only available through Chambers using the Chamber Nation system.

Sample concepts used throughout the interactive coach:

The Bus

Mark LeBlanc's analogy of a bus works to explain core components of your business messaging. Within the system you will have an area that will assist you in building the messaging necessary for properly defining and positioning your business messaging.
The AM/PM Questions -
The Defining Statement -

As the founder of Chamber Nation and EcTownUSA, my original "Defining Statement" was:
"EcTownUSA builds software for Chambers of Commerce"

After going through Mark LeBlanc's training, this is my current "Defining Statement":
"My name is Richard Scully and I run a company called Chamber Nation.
We help Chambers of Commerce increase their online revenues and help them build their membership base."
The Marketing -

Within the interactive coach you will learn basic concepts that will quickly help you develop an affective marketing plan to grow your business. There is even an area that will show you which chamber members can assist you.
Although you will have the tools at your Chamber of Commerce to help grow and increase your business, you can easily expand your interactive education by attending a live Achievers Circle weekend hosted by Mark LeBlanc.

Local businesses who would like to sponsor a local Achievers Circle seminar may do so and invite the entire Chamber of Commerce membership for a terrific launch party and educational session. Local business owners will appreciate the new chamber services and this seminar.

People are so excited when they leave Mark's Achievers Circle program that we're certain they will seriously consider doing business with you as a result of your providing them with the knowledge and tools that will have a positive impact on their particular business.

Monthly Seminars for Chamber Executives and Members

Join Mark LeBlanc for a special teleseminar where he will host a forum for small business owners, entrepreneurs and independent professionals who want to grow their business or their professional practice. Mark will host this unique forum once a month and it is complimentary to those business owners who are members of a Chamber of Commerce. This seminar is sponsored by Chamber Nation.
