A contact sphere is a group of business professionals who have a symbiotic relationship. They are in compatible, noncompetitive professions such as a lawyer, CPA, a financial planner, and a banker. If you put those four people in a room, for an hour, they’re going to do business together. Each one is working with clients that have similar needs but require different services. Hence, the symbiotic relationship.
To get the most out of your contact sphere identify as many professionals as possible that fit within your company’s contact sphere. Look at what professions in your industry tend to work together to have repetitive and reciprocal referrals. Create a list of these professional and identify specific individuals who fit into your sphere. Invite these people to participate in CNG.
Developing your contact base is great, but it just makes sense to maintain regular contact. The Clarksville Networking Group is a great way to do that and increase referrals to each other.
