Networking Vs Referral Groups
Last week I mentioned Total Networking and Sharan Tash left a comment. So this morning I decide to take a closer look at her blog, and found a useful comparison between Networking and referral groups although she calls referral groups leads groups.
But there was one point I felt needed clarification. BNI (at least here in Blighty, sorry Britain) doesn’t insist on fellow members recommending other members where a referral relationship already exists with a non-member. At least, during my four years in BNI that was the case.
Unfortunately, I could not leave a comment on Sharan’s blog because it appeared that in order to do so, one must be signed in, and I could not find where to register. Never mind. But if you read this Sharan do give me the heads up - thanks.

Thank you for letting me know about you not being able to comment. I am changing back to Word Press next week, so I hope you will check back again.
It’s nice to know that there are people in the bloggosphere that read each other’s blogs. Thank you

I believe in feedback Sharan. It’s a big part of the way we can learn, if we do something about it. :)
Glad to hear you’re going back to Wordpress, I love it and recommend it to all my clients.
It’s so versatile, the functionality is awesome and there’s a large and active developer community.
If an end user can’t fix something or install one of the hundreds of plugins any developer should be able to help out, and because the plugins are usually so easy to install it should never cost an arm and a leg.
The issue can be that end users don’t know how to get the best out of Wordpress, so they’re missing out on a whole bunch of brilliant marketing tools that can be installed or implemented from the existing functionality.
I’ve seen some quite well-known Internet experts who are missing out, from a marketing viewpoint, when it comes to their Wordpress installations.
But that’s another training course or e-book that needs writing. :)
Looking forward to your new Wordpress blog, Sharan.
