The Greenville Chamber’s vision is to be a globally competitive upstate economy where businesses succeed and people prosper. The mission is the lead, convene, and mobilize the business community to drive regional economic growth.

One of the ways the Greenville Chamber adheres to its vision and mission is providing small group business networking and referral groups knows as Links. Each group is industry exclusive with a non-compete format. Links is designed to help cultivate business relationships that translate into local revenue for the business community.

“Being an Investor with the Greenville Chamber has been a great experience! As my business is dependent on knowing what is happening in our area, the value of networking together is recognized every time my circle of connections grows larger.” – Jeannine Hill, Shaw.

In 2021 Links transitioned through the Covid-19 pandemic by creating hybrid options during the year in order to allow participants to continue their meetings and connect with one another despite challenges businesses faced. Across the 5 Links groups, it was reported that over 50 referrals were closed that generated over $2.5 million dollars in local revenue.

“What makes the Greenville Chamber Links Groups different from other networking groups is that are led by local business leaders who engage with their members and help emphasize the importance of building a relationship with each other while connecting on meaningful conversations.” – Andrew Van, Business Growth Programs Manager.

“Links group has provided me with valuable connections that have opened up many doors for me both personally and professionally. It’s an exciting way to meet new people, grow your business, and help others achieve success as well through referrals and partnering together.” – Kelsey Ryter, Insight Financial Staffing.
