Relationships That Lead to Referrals
Workshop
- Virtual
- 12-1:30pm ET
We’re pleased to welcome all Brick & Wonder members and select guests to join this online workshop on Relationships that lead to Referrals.
The session will be hosted by Brick & Wonder’s Founder, Drew Lang, and Director, Ed Thompson.
Intuitively, most service providers, consultants, agencies, and product companies recognize that referrals and word of mouth drive much of their business and impact their growth trajectory.
We know we need referrals, but how do we get them? The answer lies in the web of relationships we build around ourselves and our teams, along with the reputations we earn whether the going is rough or smooth.
This workshop offers a way to think holistically about proactive relationship development that leads to referred business and meaningful growth.
