In my business there are two major opportunities for referrals:&nbsp;
1) Face to face on a clients property. Often, I am not the one on site with the majority of our customers. I stress the importance of Powercore and referrals to our guys so they are always on the look out for referrals. We created an internal list of everyone that we refer for everything and each guy has a copy of it in their google drive.&nbsp;
2) On the intake call. Often clients ask us to do things we don't do. In the office we keep the same referral list and are able to create a lot of three way connections that way.&nbsp;
In both of these instances, the relevant team member knows they are to text me with all of the information realted to the connection so that I can make sure it is properly reported at my meeting. I know that giving referrals is just as critical as recieving them so I intentionally created a process to capture them even as my comapny grows!

It’s unrealistic to expect to get referrals without giving referrals.
This doesn’t mean giving is automatic; the Members who give the most have systems. 
<ul>
<li>Nancy sends a letter to clients who have just moved to Atlanta, telling them she knows good people, and offering a few suggestions.</li>
<li>Tommy uses his Team Roster to keep clients busy while he does a little paperwork. </li>
</ul>
What is your system for creating opportunities for referral conversations?

At just 12 years old, Taylor Chastain dreamed of being a musician—
long hair, skinny jeans, and a guitar slung over his shoulder.
To fuel that dream, he started his first business at 17… as a landscaper.
One day, a client asked him to haul away some old toilets.
Taylor said yes—because helping out is just who he is.
He loaded them into his truck, drove to the dump…
and as those toilets smashed into pieces, something clicked.
Hauling junk? Faster. Easier. Way more fun.
He pivoted.
Up Up and Away Junk Removal was born.
He worked his way through school, built a business—
and never let go of the music.
Today, he plays bass—because, in his words,
“Bass players do the dirty work.”
From bass strings to broken things,
Taylor’s still cleaning up messes—and making it all look good.
So please help me welcome
the Dr. Pepper–loving, cigar-smoking, Chick-fil-A–devouring,
bass-thumping junk hauler himself—Taylor Chastain!

This week I had a great time getting to know Taylor over some coffee. As everyone knows, Taylor brings
an energy every morning that very few can match. After our meeting, one word I can use to describe
Taylor is impressive.
This is a guy who started a business right out of high school, managed it while getting a bachelor’s
degree in psychology, working an additional job, and was a middle school director at his church. All at
the same time. Look at him now, he and his wife, Kelly, have a newborn and he doesn’t look tired.
Some of you might not know that he had the opportunity to pursue his master’s degree in counseling,
but he bet on himself and expanded his business. Backed by his faith and family, he’s repurposed the
tools and skills that counseling would have used by investing in his employees' and clients' lives to make a
difference.
He’s quick on his feet, welcoming, and smart. It's always a pleasure to see him! Next time you sit in front
of Taylor, ask yourself… Is he profiling me? Please welcome your mentorship coordinator, the Chick-fil-a
of junk removal, Taylor Chastain.

Business Coach

Entrepreneur, husband, son, daddy, worship leader, musician. These are just a few of the words we have heard used to describe Taylor Chastain. He’s also intuitive enough to know when to go after something full force and analytical enough to know what’s a good decision and what’s not. He’s smart and hardworking, and he’s kind and encouraging. He never meets a stranger, even at Waffle House, and it turns out that we share a love of the good old breakfast bowl and bacon. I’ve been lucky enough to know Taylor’s dad, uncle, and aunt – and even his grandmother on that side – since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, and I now consider myself even luckier to know his mom, which gives me a more complete picture of who Taylor is and how he shows up. He’s never one to shy away from a challenge, and I suspect we’ll see even more of him on the 5am news in the coming years…let’s just hope it isn’t for finding grenades in people’s houses very frequently. I’m excited to hear what Taylor is going to teach us today. Taylor, take it away!

Life Coach

In the company of friends, under a starlit sky,
Taylor shares tales and laughter, as the cigar's smoke rises high.
With each puff, a bond strengthens, in camaraderie he basks,
Moments cherished, like treasures in a cask.
&nbsp;
Family gatherings, warm and bright,
Together Taylor gathers, hearts alight.
Amidst the chatter and joyful noise,
Love's melody plays, like bass guitar's poised.
&nbsp;
And ah, Kellie, her beacon bright,
In her embrace, all feels just right.
With her, life's symphony finds its tune,
Underneath the sun or 'neath the moon.
&nbsp;
Hot wings and a cigar, a perfect pair,
Moments to savor, moments to share.
In these simple pleasures, life finds its zest,
In friendship, family, and love's sweet quest.

I’ve heard, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” And I don’t know anyone else who treasures junk more than our next presenter.
I have been a fan of my Whitlock Teammate, Mr. Chastain since I joined this Team. Of course, by Mr. Chastain, I mean his Dad, Mark who sat on Team Whitlock with me. Taylor was always the super energetic kid who showed up and subbed for everyone. All the time. And it was always a treat. Taylor found his way to his Whitlock Membership in Feb 2021.
He is passionate about his business and always has great ideas to share that benefits other businesses. I was telling him about a neighborhood area I am working on to clear for a Pickleball court. He proposed that when our tree guy is on site cutting back the trees and brush, we chip them there to make mulch for the area around the court to both reuse and save money for hauling. Brilliant.
Taylor has a desire and goal to stay off electronics as much as possible. But when he does enjoy an audible book, it most likely would be playing Extreme Ownership, which he has listened to multiple times.
He is definitely a family man and it is a good thing because his family keeps growing!
They also say, “To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” He is very creative in his approach to running his company including his passion for the future and recycling.
Let’s give it up loud and proud Team Cumberland to your new Coach who can talk some serious trash! Tay Tay from Up Up and Away! Mr. Taylor Chastain!
