Word of mouth referrals are always the best way to get new business. They, for the most part, are easier to work with becasue of the common bond that put you together in the first place! There is some inherent trust in your relationship from the beginning.
These people are more likely to become happy customers who will also refer others to you.
Joining an organized group is your quickest way to networking success. You could gather a group of local like minded business people, but your time is better spent on promoting your business instead. Let the professional networkers focus on the structure and support of the organization.
All professional business networking groups grow from within. In other words, they depend upon their current members to tell their friends, family and business partners about the network so they too will join. That's great and it works really well...but, why not get something for referring a new member to your group instead of a pat on the back and a recognition button?
There is nothing wrong with either of those things mind you. Oh yea, you and your group also have yet another member to give and receive even more referrals. But how about this for a great idea. As long as all of the growth comes from the current members, how about if you received a referral fee for that same introduction? Doesn't that just make sense?
That is just one of the ways that The GoTo Network has imporved the current concept of business referral networking. There are many other improvements that utilize the cutting edge of technology that speed up the whole process of giving and receiving leads too.
