Executive Networking with Tenant Advisory Group

Pete Horvath – Word of mouth is the biggest growth. Meeting with property managers, realtors, and real estate owners.
Dan Porcaro  – Build a culture of selling. Encourage all team members to network, sell and get in front of others. Everyone does it.
Jonathan Rothstein – When you serve as a trusted advisor, you can help your clients with great service providers. Always do good work and keep clients’ best interests at heart.
Ruth Minnick – Networking is extremely important. It’s a lifestyle. Connect on a personal level. Follow the money. Follows hiring patterns. M&A. Funding.
Jennifer Nemec – How to be of service. All work comes from referrals and website lead gen. Doesn’t do any marketing.
Marie Hale – Teach sales as a culture. Sales is simply being the best service to the person sitting across from you.
Jeff Asperger – Following up and following through.
Luca Lanzetta – It’s about the service you provide. Become a client of who you want to do business with.
Tim Schumm – Follow up is so important. Have systems and processes in place to make sure you stay on top of the follow-up. Much business comes on 5th or 7th touch.
Anne Gehring – Using Hubspot which is free as a CRM. Helps with follow up.
Barbara Best – Develop strong personal relationships with clients and understand how to help them be successful in their careers. Focus on paying it forward. Publishing.
Dan Golden – Was all referrals for the first 6 years. Would get work from large agencies who couldn’t do what they did. Use Hubspot as it supports keeping in touch with people. Leverage tools to stay top of mind. Referrals still drive a majority of their deals. Started a referral program. Not being afraid for asking for the referral. I also us a platform called Gaggle.
Eric Wasson- Sales is the most important thing. As far as channel partners it’s the best way to sell. Biggest mistake was saying no to Salesforce partnership in 2004. A Salesperson is hardest to hire and hardest to fire.
