Referrals

Elk Grove BRG

Engage in giving and receiving business. As the most sought after benefit of each Referral group, receiving referrals cannot be rushed. Meaningful referrals are rarely exchanged without an investment in professional development and personal capital, which is why joining a Referral group will place you on a better path to success.

Referral groups work because of people that are willing to invest time and effort into other similar thinking people. If individual success could be accurately measured it would have to account for all the positives that are derived through professional development, strategic partnerships and social capital. Realistically it is impossible to calculate financial gains attributable to such intrinsic value. Therefore we must rely on word of mouth from those involved in the Referral group because they appreciate how positive the experience really is.
