How to Generate More Referrals and New Business Through Your Network

A practical 3-hour masterclass for business owners and professionals who want better results from their networking and business relationships. Wednesday 28 October 2026 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM Registration and networking from 1:30 PM, with networking drinks afterwards. JBC Corporate Boardroom Level 1, 12 Kings Park Road, West Perth Investment: $375 including GST If you rely on relationships, referrals and introductions to win business, but you’re not getting enough opportunities from the networking you’re already doing, this masterclass is for you. You may already know plenty of people. You may attend networking events, have coffee meetings, connect with people on LinkedIn and stay reasonably active in the business community. But the real question is: Is all that networking actually producing enough referrals, introductions, appointments and new business? If the answer is no, I’ll show you how to change that. This is not about collecting more business cards, attending more events or trying to sell yourself to everyone you meet. It is about becoming more deliberate about who you meet, how you build relationships, how you follow up and how you turn those relationships into genuine business opportunities. What you’ll learn During this practical and highly interactive masterclass, you’ll learn how to: • Meet more of the right people, rather than simply more people. • Identify potential clients, referral partners and advocates. • Start conversations naturally and confidently. • Explain what you do in a way that creates interest. • Turn first conversations into meetings, introductions, referrals and opportunities. • Follow up without sounding pushy, needy or salesy. • Get more value from one-to-one networking meetings. • Build relationships with people who will refer, recommend and introduce you. • Stay visible and top of mind without becoming a nuisance. • Reconnect naturally with people you’ve lost touch with. • Generate business opportunities without constantly attending networking events. • Develop a practical networking action plan you can start using immediately. Does any of this sound familiar? You meet plenty of people, but not enough happens afterwards. You attend networking events but leave without any obvious next steps. You know people who could potentially refer business to you, but they don’t. You find following up awkward or inconsistent. You’ve got hundreds of contacts but only stay in touch with a handful of them. You want networking to produce a more reliable flow of opportunities rather than leaving it to chance. You don’t need to become a different person or turn into a salesperson. You need a better system. What you’ll leave with By the end of the masterclass, you’ll have: • A clearer understanding of how networking creates business. • A simple strategy for building a stronger referral network. • A practical follow-up process. • A better way to approach networking events and one-to-one meetings. • A system for staying visible and top of mind. • Practical ways to generate more introductions and referrals. • A networking action plan you can put into practice straight away. You’ll also receive practical resources covering conversation starters and enders, better networking questions, follow-up, reconnecting and staying in touch. Who is this masterclass for? This masterclass is designed for business owners and professionals who rely on relationships, referrals, reputation and personal connections to generate business. That includes accountants, lawyers, consultants, advisers, finance professionals, property professionals, business development people, executives and other professionals who want better results from their network. Whether you’re already an experienced networker or you know you need to become more deliberate about it, you’ll leave with practical ideas you can use immediately. Why invest three hours in this? One valuable introduction, referral or new client could repay the cost of this masterclass many times over. But the real value comes from having a networking system you can continue using month after month and year after year. The objective isn’t to help you become better at attending networking events. It’s to help you get better business results from your relationships.
