Get a GRIP on Inviting to your Referral Network

It strikes me that the best way to encourage inviting to your chapter meeting is to make it as easy, and simple, as possible. And the best way to accomplish ease and simplicity is to know what you’re going to say when you invite.

Here’s a simple, easy script (I know, I know, you don’t like scripts…trust me this one is goodJ)

It’s based GRIP; which stands for Grow, Referrals, Introduce,  and Place. And the script goes something like this:

Scene: Networking Event. Enter Christel and event attendee.

Christel: So how’s business going for you?

Attendee: Pretty well.

Christel: Are you looking to grow your business this year?

Attendee: Yes!

Christel: Would more referrals help?

Attendee: Yes!

Christel: May I introduce you to a group of business associates who, over time, would like to give you referrals?

Attendee: Yes!

Christel: Terrific, we meet every Friday morning at Gerta’s Pancake House (place) at 7:00 am. Would this Friday work for you…….?

G = Grow

R = Referrals

I = Introduction

P = Place.

It couldn’t be simpler. To see Eric, the inventor of GRIP, share the script, click here. It’s worth a watch.
