It’s about the Relationships As we present this year’s edition


of the Yorkville Community Guide, we’d like to call your attention to the many photos of people interacting and number of businesses represented. As a Chamber, our role is to help connect this business community. Doing so makes it stronger and has a positive economic impact.


As I look over the photos and


listings, experiences and memories are pulled forward … I know these people. How? Because they’ve chosen to be an active part of our business network. You may know them too, and if you don’t, it’s our goal to make an introduction because each business is more than just a building, logo, or product. Tey’re people who make up the life blood of our community. People fresh to navigating the world of business


“networking” are advised of a simple phrase. “It’s about them, not you.” In other words, build a relationship. Rather than go into “sell” mode, ask about the other person; get to know them and their business. Te power and benefits of these ensuing relationships go well beyond a sale, and resulting partnerships are mutually strengthening. Tis Community Guide follows the same principle. It’s not


trying to sell you anything but is here to perhaps introduce you to a business or help you to learn new things about another, making it easier for you to become integrated with these business people who do so much for our community.
