Why WRS?
How can we help your business do more business?
Referrals!
You look for referrals everyday.
WRS is one of the first, if not the first networking organizations in Los Angeles. It was a new concept in 1977. Of course, the world has evolved in major ways since then, but what has always remained the same? Entrepreneurs and professionals in private practice want their business to do more business!
Think about it, even in this world of technology and convenience we all look for avenues to acquire quality referrals to ensure the success of our businesses. As a consumer, before you purchase an item online you read reviews, these are basically referrals from strangers. You might find a service on social media from people touting how awesome it is, again a form of referrals.
However, even today, what is the best method of referrals? Person to person referrals. You might be hanging with friends, at a dinner party or any other social situation and someone tells you about their great their trainer/doctor/dentist/therapist/etc. You trust them, you take their word for it and will probably get the information for the service from them to contact the person they are raving about. That right there is the main idea behind WRS. Members meet, get to know one another, build trust and get to know what types of referrals are good for them and their fellow members and do just that, send them quality business referrals. WRS is not a place for selling yourself, but rather a place to let other members know what kinds of referrals you are seeking so they can send you quality referrals via fostering meaningful business relationships and the desire to support one another. The synergy and trust between members, is actually really awesome!
How does it work?
Attend Virtual Events - Regularly. There are four to choose from every month.
Have a solid Round Robin*
Follow up with Members you met after the event. This is all about relationship building, grab a coffee, jump on a call, learn more about them.
Do not hard sell yourself. Meaning do not contact fellow Members and tell them what you are selling without being genuinely interested in them or their business.
When you are out in the world send referrals to Members first. You can trust they will take good care of any referrals you send their way and they will do the same in return. We have many opportunities day in and out with our circle of people we see at work, fellow parents at school, friends, family, etc.
*Round Robin is done at every meeting and gives you 30 seconds to share who you are, what you do and what types of referrals you are looking for. Need some help with this? Feel free to email us!
