Target Market is the number one thing I work on with the clients of Referral Institute, sometimes it take 6 months before a person settles on the Target Market. Scarcity has people believe that they must ask for everything. But terms like anybody and small business just get you low quality leads and not high quality referrals. Keep up the good work.

Excellent post. I've been having a series of conversations with Victoria (whose MSP class was invaluable BTW) and some of the more experienced BNI members in my chapter on how I can better identify and leverage niches. We do a lot of different things to help our clients, and tailor those services to each. But BNI has been great in helping me start to see that the more narrow the focus, the easier it is for people to give quality referrals. This post helped add some clarity. I was also surprised that there would be such a stark difference (at least in this example) between the sexes in terms of willingness to refer. Although I can see where societal gender role expectations might make it more natural for woman to embrace the “givers gain” philosophy. Great stuff Hazel. Excellent post.
