Networking Ideas and Opportunities

by Chris Bantly » Sat Jul 11, 2009 09:00 pm

We all are familiar (or should be) with the obvious local networking opportunities with the chamber of commerce and their functions, but has anyone found any other ideas that work well?

For example, what activities do you carry out to pursue referral opportunities? Do you offer anything specific? Do you simply try and swap referrals?

What are some ideas?

I'm interested in discussing ways to get local referral sources, such as accountants and lawyers, to send business. Are there any particular things that anybody does?

Just moved to a new area 13 months ago. I literally knew two people in this state and three months ago I started a new career in the insurance business. I immediately became involved within the community; attended Town Council meetings, join a couple of other committees and started helping where I could. I now hold the towns group healthcare, life, disability, Rx, dental, vision, etc. I am currently quoting the Library, Museum, Historical Society and the Planning Commission. Each organization has also ask the I quote all insurance programs. In additon; I also added over $40k in new individual business as a direct result of this network. Good luck! Let us know how it works for you.
