While I have only been "on board" for a
couple months now, I can easily point to more new referrals, appointments and
new business as a result. I would recommend LBN to any business
professional looking for a smart, effective way to get more "warm"
leads/appointments.It has
generated more leads for me than any other prospecting method I have ever
employed. You and Al have been terrific to and for me. I can honestly
say that a business person would have to be crazy not to join LBN. Feel
free to use my name and have anyone speak to me personally. I have sipped
the Kool-aid! I am sold on LBN!

We have been a
member of LBN for more than six years now.We are approaching 6 million dollars in total business over our
seven-year existence and we can attribute more than $450,000 of that from LBN
members directly!That does not
include the business generated from referrals made to friends, family and other
acquaintances by LBN members that we haven’t identified.Thanks Chuck,
again!

LBN is the reason
we are so successful.When I
started Alpine Computers, the contacts I had in LBN helped me exceed my annual
salary from my previous employer within six months.Shortly thereafter, I partnered with
someone I met through LBN and we doubled our size.Over a nine year period, we have
received over $1 million in business from LBN members and leads.When we grew to the point where we were
targeting larger clients, LBN adapted and developed a chapter composed entirely
of businesses serving mid-sized clients.If anyone wants to grow their business, LBN is the only way to
go.

I was looking for
a career when I joined LBN.There
was no work for me as a physics major and I was bouncing from one MLM company to
another.Chuck Gifford convinced me to use my technology
background to start an IT business.We struggled a little, but LBN was there to help.LBN referrals were and are responsible
for 80% of our business.The
referral partner building skills I learned in LBN have helped me build a team of
partners who now refer me business on a regular basis.In the first 6 months of 2010, we did
more business than the entire previous year and we have graduated from working
with small residential customers to small and mid-sized businesses.Our future is bright despite a
Michigan
economy that is at depression levels.

LBN training upgraded my networking
skills and completely changed the way I market my business.Because my business (flooring) is
somewhat unique in LBN, I can visit many chapters other than my own and do so
regularly.In a typical month, I
visit 15 to 20 chapters where I work hard to get to know and help everyone I
can.LBN members are my extended
family and they account for a whopping 95% of my revenue.I’m am living proof that the LBN system
works, if you work it!

Thanks for the personal phone calls inviting me to
the industry exchange! However, LBN has made me so wildly successful that I
don’t need to go to regional events. When things get slow, I just attend
neighboring chapters and always walk out with new business! I LOVE LBN!
So, while I greatly appreciate the invitation and completely buy into the
success of expos and industry exchanges, I have LBN resources close to home that
completely satisfy my needs.

When I heard I could visit any chapter where there
was no direct competitor, I couldn’t wait to join LBN. After joining, I
visited sixteen chapters a month and spent most of my time building referral
relationships with other LBN members. Within six months, I had more deals
in the pipeline than all four of the other sales reps in our office combined and
I wasn’t making a single cold call or knocking on any doors. LBN is an
INSANE opportunity if you listen, learn and work the system.

LBN is the single most effective method we have ever
used to promote our business. Networking between chapters of LBN and
forming strategic alliances with those LBN members in other technology related
fields have helped me to form a continuous referral stream and thus a continuing
stream of new leads and new clients. The mixers especially have allowed me
to meet some excellent strategic referral partners that I can pass business to
and get leads from. Overall, we have received over $1 million in referrals
during the nine years we have been with LBN.

Local Business Network made our business a success.
As soon as my husband Steve and I started our residential and commercial
cleaning business, On-Site Cleaning Services, located in Milford Michigan, I
joined Local Business Network. I not only supported my local chapter but also
visited as many other chapters as possible each week and participated in
regional events. I learned as much as I could about my fellow members and
brought referrals to every meeting I attended (sometimes two or three
referrals). The rewards were immediate and plentiful. Our business was in
the black within six months and 90% of our business came from LBN referrals!
While most new businesses struggle to find sales, we struggled to keep up with
the work load.

LBN is not about schmoosing; it is
about action, commitment and results. LBN provides simple, proven, and usable
methodologies that have helped me grow as a business woman and continues to
bring increased opportunities and success. LBN chapters offer an
environment that is supportive, encouraging, yet dedicated to generating leads,
increasing sales, and enhancing your overall marketing effectiveness. Your
fellow LBN members quickly become a team offering knowledge, and techniques
based on their experiences that will benefit you and anyone willing to learn and
implement them. My business would not be the global business it is today
