Gaining Business from Fellow FCG Members
- When you need assistance on a project or a client or potential client needs something that goes beyond your area of expertise or you simply need assistance, always consider using a fellow FCG member first. Then, always do what is best for the client, even if it means not using an FCG member.
- Many of our members attain most of their current business this way – from other members that they first brought into their projects.
This is powerful!!3
Meet & Greet Fellow FCG MembersUrge you to know your fellow members.
Meet or email members with info, such as recent projects or just to get to know each other. (send single emails –don’t add/spam members to a mass distribution list unless they opt in.)
Schedule Skype or phone meetings.
It will yield results over time… Sometimes right away.
