Looking forward to another great business building session, as we crank up the volume and begin really getting into the meat of building a successful referral system into our overall business marketing plan.

The November 23rd meeting was by far the best meeting yet with many new announcements and 27 people in attendance. There are lots of great new things coming down the pipes and if you wish to get good results with this network, it is important to stay on top of what's going on and come out.

At this meeting, atttendees will be split into two groups. Guest will experiece our networking game and enjoy the opportunity to meet and speak one-on-one for 4 minutes with someone they have never met before, about their business and to make aquaintance.

Members who have previously participated in two or more speed networking sessions will begin to impliment stage 2 of their referral marketing strategy. In this session you will begin to lay the foundations of putting a referral marketing system into action.

Members will learn:

1. What a referral marketing strategy is, and how implimenting a simply RM strategy will result in an explosion of new business for you.
2. How to start your phone ringing off the hook with hot referrals who are already interested in doing business with you.
3. What goes into a referral marketing plan.
4. The purpose and importance of doing coffee shop networking meetings. You will learn what to do at these meetings and how to make them into referral goldmines.

You will then have 3 half-hour (coffee shop) meetings with someone you've previously met to discuss the potential/benefits/feasibility of starting a referral swapping partnership, what each of you are looking for in a referral, and the best way you would like your product/service promoted to a potential referral.

Cost of Meeting:
$10.00. This includes coffee/tea and some refreshments, but everyone maybring their own lunch. Guests and first-timers attend free. Bring 2 guests (may be accumulatively) and attend your next meeting free.

Don't forget to bring:

• Your business cards and marketing material
  
• Your 30 second introduction commercial (it is best to plan this in advance, rather than rambling unprepared. A well thought-out, memorable introduction is so very important!!)
  
• Your blue duotang if you have gotten one
  
• A guest
  
• A referral or two for someone else in the group
