REFERRALS: Getting & Giving More --POWER BROKER SERIES

Individual Introductions & Workshop. Be a POWER BROKER in Biznik by giving others 'referrals and making cross-introductions'.

'Live the vision' of a better business environment while increasing your own visibility/profitability.

We may be too busy for everything else--too busy to hear your 'sales pitch' but we're never too busy to receive your referrals and introductions.

Be to others what you want for yourself. Be friendly, warm, helpful, approachable, available, and appreciative.

Give referrals and make cross-introductions everywhere you can.

"Be the change you want to see in the world." --Gandhi

Get noticed. Get business. Give more.

Workshop Topics covered:

Adopt a 'Let Me Introduce You' mentality.

• Discover the amazing, unheralded power of cross-introductions (these are wonderful 'soft' referrals).

• How to write thoughtful cross-introductions that encourage others to connect and prosper, yet lead to profit for you, too.

Who to refer and cross-introduce and who NOT to refer or cross-introduce. Protect your own credibility and business integrity.

• Great networking etiquette that will generate more enthusiastic and more frequent giving.

• How to target the Givers and not waste your time or energy on the others.

Write out your own 30 Day POWER BROKER Plan--Your Referrals & Cross-Introductions Goal Sheet

Leave with an actualizing strategy for immediate implementation.

Come on. Let's play and have a lot of fun generating profitable business connections.

    Really looking forward to meeting new faces and helping you in the referral process!

    As I was telling Julie, i don't know who it's more fun for, me as the referrer, or the recipient of my referrals! I really enjoy being the hookup, and getting the hookup!

    This sounds wonderful! Hope it comes round again at a time when I'm not seeing clients or on the west side where it's easier for me to squeeze it in. :^)

    Ok, which of you were the Atlas Shrugged fans? I need to find you. I had to leave early so I missed the chance to connect.

    Julie put together a format for networking that just made me an easy system to build a referral network.

    She is a fantastic trainer for referral networking and her coaching is top form.

    Amy brings the bounce to speaking. She delivered a pinpointed presentation in lightning speed. I really had to pay attention to absorb everything she said... and I am from Boston and should be used to keeping a fast tempo.

    Thanks for organizing this event! Who knew there could be so many people interested in cemeteries in one room? I was able to find the perfect lead in for my future presentation as a result.
