Benefits to Joining NCTC
It helps you make business contacts
When you decide to join NCTC, you open your business to a network of potential partnerships. Business contacts from your local chamber could become the supportive community you turn to one day for assistance or vice versa. In addition, your new business contacts may be the people who serve as your sounding board for new ideas, come up with solutions to internal business problems, and even partner with you on a new endeavor.
​
It increases your credibility
Joining NCTC could give you more credibility with potential customers. One study found that 63% of customers have a higher opinion of businesses that are chamber of commerce members. As your business's positive perception increases, so will your profits as you establish credibility and brand recognition within your industry. Your membership dues could pay for themselves, thanks to the influx in your consumer base.
​
