How well do you know the people you want to include in your network? Chances are you have a little homework to do. Spend more time with the people you already know and concentrate on learning these five essentials – their goals, accomplishments, interests, networks and skills. Make sure you give back the same kind of information. The more they know about you, the faster your name will come to mind when an opportunity arises in which your products, services, knowledge, skills or experience might play a part.

Phone/Email Referral Introduction Script

Below is an example of referral introduction script from Greg Stowell, a current BNI member. The script can be used by phone or email.

How to use a Phone/Email script:

1.  In his 60 second commercial Greg asks for introductions to contractors. He then mentions that he will make it easy for you to make the introduction on his behalf by stating that she has a script you can use.

2.  Members who are willing to make the introduction on Greg’s behalf tell him that they know a contractor that they will be willing to introduce him to.

3.  Greg then emails the script to the members who are willing to set up an introduction.

4.  The member either:

a.  Makes a phone call using the script as a reference guide on what to say.

b.  Sends the message below via email to the potential referral source and bcc’s Greg on the email.

5.  If the contractor is willing to meet with Greg, then the member turns in a referral slip.
