Inroads To Thought Leadership

Do you enjoy sharing information about your industry or profession by speaking to groups? What about writing an article for a newsletter? If so, remind your network from time to time that these are good referrals for you.

Chances are there are groups and organizations in your area that would find value in what you have to say. By speaking or authoring articles, you brand yourself as a subject-matter expert and grow your network of potential clients (and people who know potential clients). This sort of activity may not generate immediate business; it will, however, build a foundation upon which lots of future business can result.

I Would Like You To Meet …

Often the most valuable thing you have to offer those in your network is your network itself. In other words, an introduction to someone else can provide lasting, almost-immeasurable benefits.

When you introduce people within your network to others, you literally set in motion a lifetime of new contacts, a wealth of information and gateways to thousands of dollars in business.

As long as you have two people in your network that do not know each other, you have something to give to others.

Be A Quarterback

A powerful means of generating referrals for others is to communicate this message:

“I have a working relationship with dozens of individuals in a variety of professions. These are trusted colleagues that have been of service to my family, friends, and clients. Please contact me if you are in need of a product or service and don’t know where to turn. I would be honored to connect you with a reliable business.”

However, you communicate this, it positions you as the “Go To” person in your network and people will seek you out. Your generosity benefits both those you refer and the people to whom you refer them, which will endear you to them.
