FCN Members
At First Coast Networkers
Our philosophy is
A “Win-Win” for everyone.
First Coast Networkers (FCN) was formed out of strong business connections resulting in numerous referrals back and forth among our members on a weekly basis. The quality of the referrals being passed results in profits, new relationships, and stronger bonds among our members.
We’re All About Referrals
Giving
– Tis Better To Give –
Listen for a need when you meet someone.
Tell the individual you know someone who can provide that service.
If you have done business with that member, share your experience.
Give out the business card of the member’s and ask for theirs as well.
Ask if it is okay for the member to contact them.
Complete a Referral Slip at the next meeting.
Getting
– But We Like to Get Sometimes :-) –

What materials/brochures can up pass out to members?
What “specials” can you offer members and their referrals?
What would be your “dream” referral?
Give an example of how you have helped a client and how that client profited as a result of your expertise or your product/services.
“I help you grow your business as you help me grow mine.”

Face to Face Meetings
The Face-to-Face meetings are designed to allow members the opportunity to get to know each other. If you take the time to learn more about fellow members and their business/services, it will be easier to refer them to others.
