The Solution: CXN’s Chamber Collaboration Platform
CXN is the Salesforce + LinkedIn for Chambers — verified, secure, and purpose-built.
CXN emerges as the definitive answer to the long-standing challenges within the U.S. chamber ecosystem. It's more than just a platform; it's America's first cross-chamber collaboration network, purpose-built to foster genuine connections, streamline operations, and unlock unprecedented economic potential. Our secure, integrated SaaS solution directly addresses the critical market gaps that have hindered national business collaboration.
Addressing Key Market Gaps
Before CXN, the landscape of American chambers was marked by significant inefficiencies. We identified three critical pain points that our platform is designed to overcome:
Chamber Silos
Individual chambers often operate in isolation, lacking a unified national infrastructure to facilitate seamless collaboration and broad knowledge exchange. This fragmentation limits their collective reach and impact.
Platform Fatigue
Business leaders are overwhelmed by the noise and unverified nature of traditional social and professional networks like LinkedIn and Facebook, which are prone to spam and unauthentic connections.
Absence of a National Network
Despite over 7,500 chambers across the nation, there is no comprehensive, trusted platform connecting them all, leaving a significant void in the overall business ecosystem.
CXN Key Features: Powering Inter-Chamber Collaboration
CXN's innovative design centers on delivering a secure, intuitive, and feature-rich environment. Each core feature is meticulously crafted to empower chambers and their members, driving value and fostering a truly connected business community.
