TITLE of PRESENTATION: RELATIONSHIPS, REFERRALS, RESULTS: IT’S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW OR WHO YOU KNOW, IT’S HOW WELL YOU KNOW THEM!

 

Do you struggle to get your contacts to refer you for a position or a new opportunity within your organization? Do you struggle to get your contacts to refer you for jobs?

 

We all have heard the best way to get a position, job, opportunity, contract is through who you know!

Tom  Fleming is the Training Director for the Referral Institute and he has the answer to getting your contacts to network FOR you! We all need a champion, Tom will show you how to turn your contacts into YOUR internal champions. Tom  will help you connect the dots between: RELATIONSHIPS, REFERRALS, RESULTS

DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOP:

Are you responsible for generating your own training engagements and clients? If so, you probably rely on some form of Referral Based Marketing Strategy or activity to generate results.

Is there a strategy to expanding a business by referral? Are their tactics involved? ABSOLUTELY

 

Tom Fleming, Director of Training for the Referral Institute, will facilitate a workshop to evaluate whether we are sitting on a goldmine.

The workshop will focus on identifying our training “sweet spot” and target market followed by identifying possible referral partners.

 

Most importantly Tom will invest some time in exploring mechanisms that will allow us to motivate our referral partners.

To generate the most out of this presentation come prepared with thoughts around:

My training specialty (as related to content)…

My current target market (be specific to be terrific)…

Thoughts around your current referral based marketing strategy including; who are my top business relationships who have the best contacts with respect to referring me to new business…

What tactics do I implement now to build relationships with and motivate my referral partners…

 

The process associated with developing a Referral Based Marketing strategy revolves around:

Your message and target market

Creating your brand from you message

Identifying Referral Partners as a result of your Target Market

Motivating and Educating our Referral Partners

Acknowledging and thanking our Referral Partners

 

THE RESULT OF A SOLID AND PRODUCTIVE NETWORKING STRATEGY:

MAKE MONEY… SAVE TIME… AND HAVE A LOT OF FUN IN THE PROCESS!

Tom Fleming has the ability to inspire and educate professional audiences whether he is

talking about referral based marketing strategies, organizational development or vision

and strategy. Tom has put his skills to the test as the Director of Training for the Referral

Institute and the Executive Director for BNI in West Central Florida where he has created

an organization of just under 2000 members who pass $75,000,000 per year in referral

business to one another. The proof is in the numbers.

In pursuing these results for others, Tom has coached, trained and spoken to thousands

locally, nationally and internationally while simultaneously:

• Recording well over a dozen educational CD’s on referral based marketing and

organizational development

• Serving as a master trainer for the Referral Institute and contributing to two best-selling

books titled Masters of Networking and Masters of Success

• Appearing on various television and radio shows

One of the highlights of Tom’s career has been speaking in international markets

(Portugal, Germany, England and Scotland) where he literally got the sense that he was

impacting the way countries approach business development.

Prior to Tom’s work in this area of expertise in 1996 and following his attendance at

Boston University’s School of Business Management, Tom worked for various fortune

500 firms while obtaining an MBA from Babson College in Wellesley, MA.

At this point in Tom’s life he is all about making his knowledge other people’s

knowledge. What inspires Tom most is that he gets to fulfill his personal mission

statement: “To dramatically impact people’s vision for their business and their life such

that they are compelled towards boldness and massive action. This translates into financial

success.”
