CamBiz™: A Company Directory

Increase your visibility, increase your networking possibilities.

As a member of Cambridge Who’s Who you are provided with an online profile to showcase your accomplishments and endeavors. It’s the page where you explain who you are, what you do and what has motivated you to become successful in your career. Your profile also includes your photo, contact information and any other relevant biographical information you decide to share. So, if you have all of that, then what is CamBiz™ and why do you need it?

The Cambridge Business (CamBiz™) directory is a special section of
www.cambridgewhoswho.com where Cambridge Who’s Who members can highlight their place of business. Not only is CamBiz™ a business directory, but it also facilitates networking; members use CamBiz™ as a resource when they are looking for potential service providers, vendors and business partners. By profiling your business in CamBiz™, you open yourself up to new business relationships and clients. We also encourage you to use the directory as a quick way to search for and find members who you may be interested in networking with. Being active within the Cambridge Who’s Who online networking community by utilizing tools such as CamBiz™ will generate more contacts for you and your company.

Unlike your personal profile (which is all about you), CamBiz™ focuses solely on your company. Here you can include a mission statement, an expanded description of your business and its core products and services and an image of the logo. You can also list your company’s full contact information, including a mailing address, phone number, fax number, email address and website URL. Another great feature of CamBiz™ is that your listing is directly linked to your profile, so that members who view your business listing can follow a link back to your personal page to find out more information about you. CamBiz™ gives you additional exposure while providing you with an outlet to promote your company. This is particularly valuable for our entrepreneurs, consultants and freelancers.

CamBiz™ has one other extra benefit: free advertising. If you offer a Cambridge member discount in your CamBiz™ profile, you will receive an advertisement listed in the “Exclusive Offers” section of the left-hand sidebar. Exclusive offers rotate throughout the members-only pages of the website and provide direct links to CamBiz™ listings, thus drawing more attention to your business and personal profiles. Furthermore, members who offer a discount to their fellow Cambridge members are considered for the Featured Business section of Who’s News, the Cambridge Who’s Who newsletter.

CamBiz™ profile are also listed on the My Cambridge page of the website. This brings you additional exposure based on the industries you indicate in your listing. Members have the option of customizing their homepage by selecting the industries they are interested in so that only relevant information is displayed on their My Cambridge page. Make sure you select the appropriate industries when completing your CamBiz™ application so that you appear on My Cambridge.
