The Art Of Giving Referrals At Entrepreneur Networking Events
Networking and Referrals go hand! They both involve other people, and they both offer great potential for business opportunities! In this #AskTheFedora, Jarrod discusses the art of giving great referrals at entrepreneur networking events!
A big part of networking is asking for referrals because we all want a referral. Is someone going to refer you after they meet you for the first time…probably not. It’s a matter of developing the trust and the relationship with somebody in order for them to send a referral your way. If you send a poor referral and the person let’s say does not have the business sense or skills to do the job, it reflects poorly on you. When I ask someone for a referral, I often know them well, trust them and respect them. This all takes time to build. What I like to do is connect with people, and if I really like them and trust them then I’d be very happy to send referrals their way.
