MarysvilleHow it works
Every point on this site comes from one of these. Do them every week and the referrals start coming back to you.
01
Coffee with one member, once a week. Learn what they sell and who buys it, so you recognize their next client when you meet them.
125 1:1s in the last 14 days
02
A name, a number, and a heads-up that they are expecting the call. Log it from your phone before you pull out of the parking lot.
100 referrals passed in 14 days
03
Tell the room, and everyone following the chapter, what it was like to work with them. It is the best marketing a member can get.
44 testimonials in 14 days

Receipts
Members write these for each other after the work is done, and they stay on the member's profile for every future client to read.
Our team page was eleven photos with eleven different backgrounds, one of them clearly from a wedding. DeShawn set up in our conference room at 9 and had everyone done by 11:15…
Hamza Warsame
for DeShawn Carter We've dug foundations and septic systems on six of Nathan's lots. He's on site every morning, so when we hit clay at four feet, the decision takes ten minutes instead of two days.
Roy Castañeda
for Nathan Beiler Clients who meet with Aisha before their selections appointment walk in with a plan instead of forty Pinterest boards. On a $780k house near Plain City this summer, she finished…
Nathan Beiler
for Aisha Rahman A buyer of mine on a 12-acre place near Unionville Center couldn't get a homeowners quote because of the wood stove and the distance to the nearest fire station. Tasha found a…
Luke Brandt
for Tasha Greene I read invoices for a living, and Dwayne's are the clearest I've seen from any mechanic. The dealer wanted $1,650 for calipers and rotors, and he fixed a sticking caliper for…
Priya Nair
for Dwayne Hollis My old bank took six weeks to turn down an equipment loan for our third excavator. Carlos approved it in nine days, and before I applied he told me exactly what the committee…
Roy Castañeda
for Carlos Mendoza I send Daniel every client who elected S-corp status by filling out a form online. Last month he found one who had paid himself no salary for three years and fixed it before the…
Elena Vasquez
for Daniel Cho Our dump truck blew a turbo on a Plain City patio job in August with a load of base stone on the back. Travis came to the site that afternoon, had it running the next day, and…
Tyler Beckett
for Travis Neff My horse pasture outside Plain City held water for a week after every rain. Roy's crew repaired 600 feet of broken field tile in two days, and Escrow the goat was the only one…
Shannon Kerr
for Roy Castañeda My son is a sheriff's deputy about five years from retirement, and he had no idea how his OPERS options worked. Rhonda spent two hours with him and his wife and gave them a…
Gene Holtz
for Rhonda Tate I shot a client appreciation night for an engineering firm at the Hayloft in June. Kelsey had a printed timeline for every vendor and moved the toast 15 minutes so the sun would…
DeShawn Carter
for Kelsey Wright A bride who booked the Hayloft had 40 guests flying in from Texas and Georgia. Renee set up the hotel block and airport shuttles, and when a Dallas flight was canceled the night…
Kelsey Wright
for Renee Holloway We ordered Minh's build-your-own bar for a realtor lunch-and-learn of 45, including two vegans, one celiac and a loan processor who only eats chicken. Everything was labeled, it…
Anil Venkataraman
for Minh Tran For my mother's 80th birthday, 22 of us flew to Manila in August with a wheelchair waiting at every gate and a room block near my aunt's house. When our Tokyo connection was…
Tess Villanueva
for Renee Holloway Half my clients' first question about a two-week cruise is what to do with the dog. I send them to Mariana now, and one couple watched their 90-pound Lab on the webcam every…
Renee Holloway
for Mariana Flores My client wanted to split five acres off a 40-acre tract with pattern tile and build on it. Luke knew what the tile and the grain bins were worth on their own, which is the only…
Shannon Kerr
for Luke Brandt After a fender bender on 315 I assumed I needed a chiropractor. Megan examined me, said the numbness in my hand wasn't hers to treat, and had me in front of a neurologist that…
Elena Vasquez
for Megan Liu Kwame's reports tell me what I'm walking into before I get there: panel brand, breaker sizes, photos of every double tap. I've quoted three panel replacements this year off his…
Sam Kessler
for Kwame Asante I'm the slowest runner in my neighborhood group and was on my way to being the most injured. Megan sorted out my hip in five visits and gave me two exercises I still do before…
Daniel Cho
for Megan Liu I shoot content at Darby Dog Lodge twice a month, so I've watched the play groups up close. Mariana sorts dogs by energy, not only size, and the anxious rescues get a quiet yard…

Short, practical reads on 1:1s, referrals, pricing and follow-up, written by members.
Treat referrals like a sales pipeline: clear stages, six numbers worth tracking, a 15-minute monthly review, and the habits that make the numbers lie.
Most testimonials say 'great service' and persuade nobody. A barn venue owner on the four parts of one that sells, when to ask, and the exact text she sends.
Referred jobs cost less to win and the same to build. The math on a $17,000 roof, what I offer instead of a friend discount, and how I say no without losing the job.
