What is the Referral Network?
Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you for taking the time to visit my blog! This has been created for the sole purpose to provide you with more exposure and hopefully more business. I will be showcasing each member within this blog complete with testimonials whether they be written or video. We also will be introducing the newest ways to promote your business such as Social Media applications like LinkedIn, Facebook, Youtube and Blogging.
The Referral Network is a collection of individual MBA members who meet with the specific outcome to provide each other with business. Each member will eventually have their own profile so please take a moment to read their profile and check their website. Providing business to each other is essential to our success.
We meet twice a month, once in the morning and once for lunch. The morning meeting is held at the MBA office and the lunch meeting is held in Seattle at the Holiday Inn Express near the Space Needle. To reserve a spot at either event, please contact Lesley Odland at the Master Builders Association at 425-278-0220 or via email at lodland@mbaks.com
Please do not hesitate to provide me with feedback and if you would like to employ any of what you see here in your own business, please call me at 206-437-0529 and we can sit down or chat on the phone for a complimentary discovery session.
I am looking forward to helping your business be wildly successful! Please enjoy the intro video below!
