SUMMARY:THE FENG: Professional Relationships and Referral Development
LOCATION:Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Professional Relationship Development and Referral DevelopmentProfessional Relationship Development.&nbsp;How business owners and executives can improve the results they get from both personal and business relationships they develop through colleagues, clients, and members of common organizations. We work on the best techniques to learn more about them as people including their interests, skills, personality, connections, and perceptions of our business. We develop tactics to better understand the goals our most important and trusted contacts have. We purposefully discover what they are doing to reach their goals, how they do it, where and when they do it and, most importantly, with whom they take those actions. This leads to introductions, invitations, and better and longer-lasting relationships with revenue sources and referral sources.Referral Development.&nbsp; Strategies to better understand the value and features your referral sources perceive. It also includes organizing, categorizing and prioritizing your referral source database; determining the factors used to decide how much of your resources (time, energy, money) to invest into a given person or organization; and clarifying the motivations of your referral sources. We improve the quality of the conversations we use to tell referral stories, ask for referrals, and make a plan to follow up better on the referrals we receive. The result is a higher quality and quantity of actively-generated referrals and more business growth.About Jeff Tockman:Jeffrey Tockman was born in 1971 and grew up in Dix Hills, NY, with his father Michael, mother Carlene, and older brother David.
