The Importance of Referrals in a Business Association Group

Dec

10

Networking is more important than ever in today’s fast-paced business world. Business association groups provide an easy opportunity to connect with other like-minded professionals, share insights, and collaborate on projects. But the real power of these associations lies in referral potential.

What is a referral?

A referral is a recommendation from one person to another. In business associations, referrals are when a member recommends another member to a potential client or partner.

Why Referrals are Essential:

Builds Trust: When a member recommends another, it signals that they believe in their capabilities and integrity, instilling a high level of trust within the organization.
Generates Quality Leads: Referrals often lead to higher-quality leads because they come from trusted sources.
Accelerates Growth: By leveraging referrals, businesses can expand their reach and accelerate growth.
Strengthens Relationships: Referring someone helps strengthen relationships within the association.
Improves Reputation: A reputation of being a reliable referral source enhances your professional standing.

How to Develop an Effective Referral Culture

Build Strong Relationships: Put the time into building genuine relationships within your association group.
Be a Reliable Referral Source: Identify potential referral opportunities proactively.
Communicate Effectively: Clearly express your client’s or partner’s needs.
Follow up: Follow up on referrals regularly to ensure they’re meeting your client or partner’s needs.
Express gratitude: Express gratitude for the referrals you receive.

WebdeXpress: Ver. 3.7.5 Function Cutback Notice

Sep

5

We’d like to tell you we’ve reverted some functions of the recent WebdeXpress update, our website creation tool that comes included with our web and email hosting service, Dreamersi.

Main Changes:

The following three changes have been reverted.

1) Changed contact form submission notification email sender to "noreply@domainname".

When including the email field in a form, we used the sender’s email address in the “From” section of the notification sent to the site administrator. However, after a recent update, we found this function wasn’t working so we’ve reverted it. Therefore, the “From” section of the notification email is the email entered by the form submitter in the email field.

If the form doesn’t have an email field, the “From” address will be the email address specified in the “Form Email Recipient” field as before.

2) Updated the contact form submission notification emails to include the contact's domain name in the email body.

3) Updated the footer of the contact form submission notification emails to display the “Website Title”.

We’ll continue to update the functions more carefully to keep existing functions consistent. We’ll also continue to make improvements occasionally to provide functions and services that satisfy our customers, and we appreciate your continued patronage.

If you have any questions or need some additional help, please contact us at 1-800-232-3989 or email us at support@pspinc.com.

How to Approach Business Opportunities in a Business Association Group

Aug

6

A business association group is an organization formed to connect, collaborate, and advocate for shared interests. Some cater to specific industries or they can cater to broader business interests. Today, businesses of all kinds join business association groups to network and strategically partner with others to benefit both parties.

How to Identify Business Opportunities

Think of your business association as a place rife with potential. One of the best ways to identify business opportunities involves staying informed of how the industry changes. Especially if you're in an association that is industry-specific to your business. Staying informed on how your industry changes will help you better adapt and seize new opportunities. Interacting with other business professionals at association events won’t just help keep you up to date on how the industry is changing, but also how others are responding to that change.

How to Approach Business Opportunities

After identifying your business opportunities, you can then leverage that knowledge and make them actionable as a business association member. Here’s how:

Active participation and networking: Attending association events, participating in discussions, and building overall relationships with members will be invaluable for referrals and collaboration in the future.
Leverage member expertise: Brainstorming new ideas and tapping into other members’ unique expertise will aid in addressing your business’s specific challenges.
Identify shared challenges: Discussing pain points with fellow members can identify shared challenges and spark innovation.
Explore potential partnerships: Discovering complementary businesses within your organization paves the way for strategic partnerships that will benefit both parties.

Joining a business association group is about more than just membership, it’s about creating a community designed to help everyone succeed. By actively participating and using every resource available, the possibilities are endless. With Biznomos, growing and managing your association group has never been easier or more affordable. Get started by signing up or requesting a no-obligation 30-day free trial.
