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

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.
