The Nonprofit Resource Group meets monthly to foster connections between nonprofit consultants and to help each other grow our businesses. At the last meeting, Interim CEO Consultant, John Corwin, gave advice on how to create an giving and receiving referrals. Addressing the natural apprehension to call some one, he provided with these seven reasons people will take your call:
1. The relationship of the referrer.
2. It’s the only thing they will do that day that is risk free.
3. There is a mystique about helping people.
4. Be shameless about offering free food (breakfast, lunch or coffee) in exchange for free food.
5. People love to give advice.
6. People understand that networking is a life-long quest and two-way street.
7. You become a part of their network.
