  1. Personal results – two ways to make more money from networking – get better at it and do that in front of more people!
  2. The more people you have means the more potential referrals!
  3. Making an impact on other people by inviting them. You just don’t know how it can help their business.

Benefits received by growing my referral team:

  • When you invite you are giving others an opportunity to make connections that could positively impact their business
  • MINDSET is everything – if you are uncomfortable with it – it’s not the goal to ‘get someone to join’ – it’s simply to invite
  • The visit experience and your follow up makes a difference.
  • If you want more referrals, you NEED a bigger network and it starts with you to also contribute.

  • Start with MINDSET
  • Keep Inviting SIMPLE – don’t explain it
  • Determine what industry you’d like to network with and start reaching out to them
  • Make your list! You can start with the people you know in that industry then search online through geographical search on LinkedIn, Facebook, other social media

WORKSHOP

FOR START-UP CHAPTERS | CORE GROUP USE

10 of 10

Partner – 10 Minute Timer

The Workshop is to take an idea from this week’s education topic.

  1. Partner with someone in the meeting set a timer for 15 minutes
  2. Each participant pick an industry you would like to give and receive referrals and make a list of the ones you already know then do a search on LinkedIn or FB or simply Google them in your area.
  3. Create your list and determine how you plan to reach out and network with these industries.
  4. Share what industry you and your partner discussed contacting and set a deadline to complete it and share your results!
