The Referral Guy
S5 Episode 2 Episode Title – Understanding Your Referral Group’s Culture Introduction There are five stages of referral groups. Each stage has different characteristics, language patterns and behaviours denoting which stage the group is in. These stages have an enormous influence on the ROI members derive so when choosing a group, it’s important to be able to identify which stage the group is in to maximise your chances of success. Show Objectives This show outlines the five stages of referral groups. What You Need to Know At any point, there may be some members trying to operate in a different stage. However, it is highly likely a single overall culture will be prominent. Sadly, in my observation, the vast majority of groups operate at the lower and middle stages, a lesser proportion in the upper half. Each of the stages has its own language… the sense in which they articulate their views about how the group functions. Stage 1
Stage 5 Contact me and I’ll give you the rundown of stage 5 groups. What You Need to Do If not properly managed, referral groups can be fickle. The structure and mechanisms for success need to be established and respected so they are followed and members ROI will be a natural consequence. Accountability is another of the cornerstones and this is best administered externally so the members can concentrate on exchanging referrals without being caught up in the management of the group. There are a hundred moving parts in these groups so seek expert help if you have any questions. Contact Steve at info@referralacademy.com.au for further information.
