Watch the short video above and read below. FREE book at the end.

People can be classified into two general categories: Net Takers – people who seem to get more from the world than they put into it (and they do not seem to care about this imbalance); and, Net Givers people who not only seem to give more to the world than they take from it, but truly delight in finding ways to serve others.

The great irony to this dichotomy is that over time Net Givers get immensely more from those around them than Net Takers could ever dream possible.

This book is for anyone who wants… – More Business Referrals & Clients – More Quality Contacts & Valuable Information – More Out Of A Long, Happy Life – And Knows That A Focus On Generosity Can Help Them Achieve It. The Giving Journal is available as a free PDF e-book. CLICK HERE

In Memoriam Chapter

It’s an uncomfortable reality. One day, we all die. Unfortunately, over the years, we’ve had members of AmSpirit Business Connections who’ve passed while still active members. Some met with tragic accidents. Others succumb to ailments. But they were all contributing members until the very end. And so, this eternal Chapter is a tribute to them.

More Referrals Via AI

Recently, after watching the Talking In When’s video, a prospective member created a Open AI application specifically for that short program.

This application is very useful for taking what you do and converting it into various “when” statements that you can use to formulate commercials for your Chapter meetings. It can help you brainstorm. It can give you tips. It can provide insight. It can help you role-play. It might ask you for a link to your website to better help you.

Go in and play around with it and share results with your fellow Chapter members. Here is the link to access it. IMPORTANT: You’ll need to have a free Chat GPT account to access this (to get one, I’ve included simple instructions below.

Get A Free Chat GPT account: Go to https://chatgpt.com/ and click Create Account in the upper right corner. From here, you can create an account with an e-mail address (and password) or by continuing via a Google Account or Microsoft or Apple. Whatever the case, it’s easy.

Talk In When’s

Do you want more referrals? Of course you do. That then begs the question, “How can I get better at getting referrals?” The simple answer to this question is that it’s all in how you ask for them. This short video explains how you can become much more proficient at getting referrals by sharing with your network the situations and scenarios “when” you serve others (as opposed to continually telling everyone “what” you do).

The POWER of Qualified Business Referrals…

We talk every week about the vital aspect of AmSpirit Business Connections — the QUALIFIED Business Referral! What makes them better than a friend handing your business card to someone for you or writing your number on a napkin and telling the friend to call you? Here’s the difference…

P – It is PERSONAL. We each get a person’s information and pass it on to each other with the process that the contact comes from us to the perspective customer, not the other way around.

O – It opens the best OPPORTUNITY for you to make contact since the customer is waiting for your call.

W – It sets you up for the WIN. When you are calling the customer who has been given your name and told you will call, there is an increased chance of sales success.

E – It is more EFFECTIVE. Frankly, our referrals are just way better than one you get at a cocktail party. They have legs!

R – It gives the incentive of RESPECT for the other member who has trusted you with the referral. Your follow-through honors the effort they have made for you.
