Networking & Referrals
At the heart of everything we do at WCR is a belief that by working together,
our members are more successful than they would be alone. So your WCR membership
opens up a world of networking and referral opportunities, including local and
state chapter meetings, workshops and special events.
Referral Network and the Referral Roster
Ask a WCR member what the most valuable benefit of their membership is, and,
chances are, most will say "referrals". In a recent survey, 60 percent of our
members reported using the referral network in the last two years. What does
that mean for WCR members? It means that, each year, our members
receive over $100 million in commissions just from the WCR network.
The backbone of our referral network is WCR's annual member directory, the
Referral Roster. It's your link to tens of thousands of members nationwide who
are ready and willing to put qualified referrals in your hands. Your listing in
the Roster is free with your membership. And additional advertising
opportunities are available to increase your visibility even further.
Local, State and Regional Networking Opportunities
When you become a WCR member, you also become a member of your local WCR
chapter, which regularly offers a number of business-building opportunities like
roundtable discussions, featured speakers, marketing meetings, and other timely
and topical events. Those events complement our national referral network by
providing face-to-face interaction and discussion with other professionals right
in the community where you live and work.
Likewise, WCR state and regional chapters also hold events designed to expand
your business opportunities, develop your skills and talents and broaden your
knowledge and know-how. Finally, WCR holds two national meetings each year,
during which members come together and to conduct council business,
participate in education programs and make contacts from all over the nation.
