Family, friends and past clients are all great sources of prospects and/or referrals.
But what about the less obvious? In the past, I've noted some personal success with the following sources:
- Health Club and Athletic Teams
- A Volunteer Organization (Board of Directors)
- Local Chamber of Commerce
- Professional Associations (other than Real Estate)
- School and Former Employer Alumni
The common thread with each of these was my regular participation with each of these groups allowing me to indirectly cultivate my personality and skill sets without sounding like an over-bearing salesman, which is something I am not good at (probably because I HATE doing it).
Do you have any alternate Networking sources that have proven successful to your business? Please share.
