Dear Fellow  Gothamites, 
I have a few  suggestions that would be really helpful when referring 
others.  First if  you have a relationship with a Gotham member that offers the 
products or  services needed please recommend them first.   
Next, when making  the referral provide their name, telephone number, and 
email address and copy  them that you are making the referral so they know 
why.  Of the many  wonderful recommendations, only one person actually did 
that.  Guess  where I went first? Of course the one that made it easiest to 
connect.   
I recently  requested information on moving personal items from one state 
to  another.  Sometimes I was given only a name or told that someone may  
exist in the XY Gotham group.  While I appreciate the tidbit of info, the  
effort, and yes I should always check Gotham’s list first… to which I did  
initially so that should tell some of you that you need to get your info  online
……, when I come to fredslist it’s because I can’t find it and really  need 
referrals to known relationships.    
Additionally, we  live in a digital world and it is not always easy to call 
someone so emails  are really valuable to get the dialogue started.   
Referrals are  very important and the lifeblood of our business.  The most 
recent  referral I made to a health benefits company not only gave them 
complete  contact info, a personal telephone call from me,  but I also took the  
time to intercede when communication efforts stalled.  They got the  
account.  I got the opportunity to know that I gave my relationship  someone 
really good. The flavored pretzels sent were a nice touch too.   
The point is  there is an art to referrals and we loose more than we gain 
when we become too  lazy to make them count.  
Warmest  Regards
