In this course, you will learn how to efficiently build a referral network using the circle of influence system.
Networking and referrals have always played a role in building professional services practices. In today’s environment, it is much harder to build your client roster solely on referrals and networking alone, but it still plays a crucial role in your overall business development strategy. It is never too early to start building your circle of influence, and it is never too late to fine-tune your circle of influence. The key to success is becoming intentional with building your circle of influence so that it becomes a powerful referral source for you.
