The Chamber’s Premier Lead Generation & Referral Network
Pipeline is the Chamber’s premier lead generation and referral network where business leaders come to connect, contribute and close. These groups help business professionals — who desire to improve their income by forming relationships with other Chamber members and exchanging referrals and leads — gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace and build lasting professional and personal relationships.

Gain a Competitive Advantage in Your Local Marketplace
Pipeline referral groups have helped professionals gain a competitive advantage in the Conway area marketplace, as well as build lasting professional and personal relationships.
Pipeline groups are comprised of 20 – 30 individuals who meet twice a month to help each other with
- Selling Techniques
- Presentation Skills
- Recruiting
- Strategic Partnerships
- Referral Exchange
- Professional Relationship
The annual fee to participate in Pipeline is $350. Pipeline groups follow a non-competing format and are limited to one person per industry and/or profession.

Pipeline Guidelines
- Chamber members interested in joining a Pipeline group must first visit a meeting of the group they would like to join and attend the orientation that begins promptly after every Pipeline meeting.
- Members must be in good standing as a member of the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce prior to joining a Pipeline group.
- If not self-employed, Pipeline members must have the full support of their employers to allow the flexibility required to carry out the responsibilities effectively. Pipeline commitments may occur before, during, and after typical workday hours. The time commitment required to fulfill the Pipeline responsibilities ranges from 4 – 6 hours each month.
- Membership is open to only one company per industry and one person per company.
- Members may only join one Pipeline group. Visiting other groups requires permission from their Leadership Team.
- Be punctual, as respecting the group’s time will establish credibility. Meetings start and end on time.
- Must attend four (4) out of six (6) meetings per quarter. After three consecutive absences, membership will be reviewed. Absences are limited to eight per year.
• A company representative may attend in the Member’s absence, but the intent is for the Member to establish relationships in the group. It is important to communicate prior to the start of a meeting by either email or phone to the Leadership Team if you are unable to attend.
- Have a minimum of one (1) one-on-one meeting per month with another Pipeline member.
- Have a minimum of one (1) qualified lead to another Pipeline member per month. Bringing qualified guests and an introduction to a good connection qualifies as a lead.
