At Refer-On we recently surveyed our members to find out what our members got out of the Refer-On relationship. I was (pleasantly) surprised to find that over half our members were actively collaborating with other members.
This means they are using the extended network of advocates to generate more and more business. As the business community tightens it’s belts now the economy is slowing down the more we can leverage these introductions the easier it will be for us to ride out the storm.
This is fundamental to successful networking. No if’s or but’s advocates out seeking out opportunities for like minded individuals.
One member put it this way. “"Well, think about it - if your members do spend time getting to know others in depth surely you shouldn't be surprise when a lot of them want to work together, share projects, jointly go to market - in other words, collaborate!"
Oh how simple it is when you think about it like that
