Are You a ‘Gate Keeper’ for Business Leads?

The networking trick that'll increase business.

Upland, CA (PRWEB) July 19, 2006 -- You could be one simple letter away from receiving a lot of new business. In his recent monthly column for Entrepreneur.com (the online home of Entrepreneur Magazine), Dr. Ivan Misner explains the power of one easy technique for attracting business leads.

Misner is Founder and Chairman of BNI, an international referral networking organization that helps businesses and professionals cultivate success through word-of-mouth marketing. He also pens Entrepreneur.com's monthly "networking" column.

Knowing the business-building potential of effective networking, Misner early-on decided to position himself as a "Go-To Guy" for business people in his own community seeking referrals to trusted professionals. By becoming a gate keeper for such referrals, he reasoned, he would be in a position to help a lot of people--while also raising his own business profile.

And was he ever right! The key? A simple letter he sent to his client list several times a year. Read the whole story online at: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/0,4621,327036,00.html.
