Somebody I have never met was provided with a lead by someone who I have only met 4 times , via somebody I have only met twice simply because of the BforB ethos of developing Know Like and Trust relationships. What was that? Well here's what happened:
A good friend of a BforB member in Hull who lives on the other side of the Pennines has particular need of specialist Legal Advice.
The BforB member phoned me up and asked if I knew of any solicitors over in that part of the country.
I put him in touch with the Manchester BforB Regional Director, who gave him a contact number, someone who is a member of his BforB group.
Sorry if the thread seems a bit convoluted. It does involve 5 different people but the end result is simple. A professional colleague has obtained a worthwhile lead because BforB is a network of referral clubs. It was easy for our member in Hull to help locate a suitable solicitor for a friend on the other side of the country.
But more important than that, because BforB teams focus on developing Know Like and Trust relationships this lead came about because people know that they are adding value to their membership by simply talking to one another.
