Explain those LCDs if possible through a case study or story etc
If there are any myths clear those out
Share benefits of your services or products
Share if you have received any powerful testimonials etc
Spend good amount explaining this section
Share your clienteles – 2 reasons to share your clienteles
Members come to know the profile of your clients and can refer you to some similar companies and
if any member is looking to get introduce to any of your clients then you can do so if you have shared your clienteles
Ask – what referrals are you looking for – be specific and share the names of those companies
You should receive some kind of feedback at the end of your presentation from the members and visitors on your presentation which might be seen in terms of the referrals you start receiving or 121 booked with you or generic feedback
