"Building Referral Partnership"

Sponsored by Leslea Ellis, LLC

New Location - Harborside Event Center

Thank you to our May panelists, presenters Emcee and our sponsor

Keith Grossman, PA Grossman Law & Conflict Management, LLC

Here's what's coming in June 2015

Referrals are the key to growing your business. But rather than take a wait and see approach hoping to get some referrals a proactive approach is to strategically develop Referral Partners with people who you have a relationship with and who proactively introduce and refer you to your target prospects. Plus, when you get a referral, you may wonder what you can do to inspire the referral source to refer even more people to you. You'd think it would help if you rewarded them. This month’s panelists will give you the key points on how to do this properly and grow your business!

Meet our panelists:

• Bill Blevins, Sr. Vice President of Encore Bank in Lee County
• Dorothy Rondo Randall Saviste Area Director/Consultant BNI
* Barbara Melvin Business Consultant
* Caryn Smith, Entrepreneur
