| Waterford Chamber Network Connection Connecting Professionals |
| Welcome to the WCNC |
Referral marketing is the most powerful way to grow your business, period; and that’s what the Waterford Chamber Network Connection is all about! Did you know that you are 79% more likely to close a sale to a referral than one to a cold call or chance customer? The power of a referral from a trusted source breaks down the traditional walls that most consumers protect themselves with and gives you and your business a high level credibility. In fact, if you could build the percentage of your business that is generated by referrals to 30% to 50%, your business would sustain itself. Wouldn’t it be great to work on developing and refining your business rather than constantly “chasing” sales? The Waterford Chamber Network Connection is a referral based business networking group aimed at growing its members businesses through referral marketing. When you join the group, the members become your “sales force”. They are constantly looking for opportunities to provide you with qualified referrals for your business. But why would all these people want to provide you with referrals; wouldn’t they rather be out looking for business for themselves? That’s because they all know that the powerful premise behind successful referral marketing is generosity and not greed. By giving more than they receive, each member will in turn reap the rewards of their generosity. Passing on a qualified referral is really a way of solving a problem for someone you know. When you hear that a client, customer, vendor, friend or relative has a problem, that’s your opportunity to strengthen that relationship with a referral to help them solve their problem. You have just become a valuable resource to that person and the likelihood that they will think of you in the future has just increased immensely. Referrals aren’t all we do! In our structured, weekly meetings we also share educational information, best practices and tips that we’ve picked up along the way. Because we only allow one business per profession in the group, we’re not in “competition” with each other. That really fosters a giving environment where the goal is to help each other grow. The best way to learn more is to visit the group! Please contact us or stop in at our next meeting. Guests are always welcome! |
| The purpose of this group is to build the members businesses through network marketing, providing business referrals and sharing knowledge / best practices. To this purpose, educating members about each other’s businesses and the unique challenges that they face is critical to success.. |
