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
