Business Builders Workshops bring entrepreneurs and industry specialists together to answer real questions that small businesses face. This FREE event is proudly brought to you as a collaborated effort of SBA resource partners: we are here to serve you!

Topic: Referral Networking and LinkedIn for Small Business Owners

Description: This session combines two related topics that work best together, referral-based networking groups and LinkedIn. We’ll discuss how referral groups function, how to choose and commit to the right group, and best practices for building trust and generating referrals. The session will also cover how a strong LinkedIn profile supports referral networking by reinforcing credibility and extending relationships beyond in-person meetings.
