The result? They bring you in on deals and refer you new Clients. In a retail business, there are some parallels: building new affiliate programs, building relationships with vocal customers who will share your product, networking with people who could buy large quantities of your product, etc. I also highly recommend identifying everything on your to do list that someone else can do for you, delegating it, and investing your newly found time connecting with others. New opportunities will present themselves! Hi Bill – in a consulting business referral networking is finding those other companies who work with Clients but don’t do what you do. The result?

I think that's easier said than done. As a small online retailer I struggle with ideas for referral networking. Unlike many websites as a retail shop I'm not interested in advertising on the site for other folks so what else would you have in mind?
