Members and past members reach out to me every day for referrals.
Sometimes it's because they've checked the directory and haven't gotten what they need from Personal Profile Pages or endorsement letters, or INTROMinutes. (Those things add credibility.)
It's easiest for me to refer to a Member whose 7-Minute I've seen. Gives me more ammunition.
All things being equal (which, of course, they never are) someone who speaks with me at Information Monday is more likely to get my referral, than someone I've never had interaction with.
I haven't had a referral for - oh, yes! I did! - okay, I haven't had a referral for Mary Block yet. Seems like I should . . . now that she does elevators. I'm on the lookout.
