What are the benefits of being in a leads group?

A leads group is a valuable resource to expand your knowledge, learn from the success of others, attain new clients and tell others about your business. Following are the core benefits of our E.A.R.N. groups:

• Professional Development
  Perfect your sales presentations, speaking skills, marketing plans, selling techniques and many other skills. By capitalizing on the varied abilities of your peers you will become more polished and greater able to achieve results.
• Strategic Partnerships
  Focus on uncovering and identifying your power partners. History has proven this process to be a quick and meaningful way to build relationships. Members of the group will help you discover and meet individuals with similar customers, needs and values.
• Social Capital
  Form business friendships that will last for years.
• Referrals
  Engage in giving and receiving business. As the most sought-after benefit of each Referral group, receiving referrals cannot be rushed. Meaningful referrals are rarely exchanged without an investment in professional development and personal capital, which is why joining a Referral group will place you on a better path to success.
