What is LeTip? > Why Join LeTip?
Meetings > Costs
Our primary purpose is to give and receive qualified business referrals, not cold leads! Each business category is represented by one member and conflicts of interest are not allowed.
- Exchange valuable business tips which turns into $$$. Members work to provide you with qualified business leads.
- Members provide access to clients you would not otherwise be able to contact.
- There are no outside speakers. Members identify themselves and their product or service at each meeting.
- You will be able to display your product or service on a predetermined schedule.
- No conflicts of interest are allowed. Your competition can't join once you've joined.
- Meetings begin at 11:46 a.m. sharp and conclude by 1:01 p.m.
- An inspector will visit and confirm your place of business. You must be voted on to become a member.
- The format LeTip International, Inc. has developed is over 20 years in creation. It works!
- Each Chapter has a Board of Directors. Every meeting is conducted from a specific format.

Q: How many meetings do I attend before I can join?
Answer: Each guest is required to attend two (2) consecutive meetings before an application can be accepted. An inspection of an applicant's place of business is a requirement of acceptance. Your first lunch is $15 but the second lunch is free.
Agenda:
11:30-11:45am - Open networking & sign-in
11:46-1pm - Structured program; guests give their elevator pitch twice and we have 2 member speakers present. Everyone needs at least 35 business cards to pass.
1:01pm - We finish our program and you can network or leave as your schedule permits.
Q: How much does it cost to join a LeTip Chapter?
A: The initial membership fee is established by LeTip International, Inc., and is separate from your local Chapter's dues which are based on its individual operational costs. LeTip International's national dues are:
- $325 for the first year to National;
$220 for each year thereafter; - Our chapter dues are $230 per quarter to pay for weekly lunches, network training and yearly power breakfasts;
- There is also a one-time $70 processing fee.
So, your first year would cost $325+(230x4)+60 = $1305
For years thereafter, it's $220 + (230x4) = $1140
