BUSINESS

Networking
New members meet other new members to gain informal support.
New members learn from seasoned members.
Members learn about new products, resources, books, etc.
Members find referrals and subcontracting opportunities.

Referrals
Web sites
NAPO-WDC has a membership directory not a referral system. The national NAPO web site sends referrals by email.
A detailed listing for each member is a benefit of membership.

Telephone Referral System
Our chapter’s referral coordinator gives callers the names of three organizers.

Member Networking
Also, members frequently refer clients to each other due to:
Geographic location of the client
Specific service needed by the client
Insufficient time to work with the client
Client cannot afford a seasoned organizer

Some members refer back and forth informally.

Others charge a one-time referral fee or a percentage of money earned.

Subcontracting
A few of our organizers subcontract with newer organizers.
