Make it
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!
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sounds like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.
