The dynamics of the group can be a combination of business and personal goods and services.  It is especially critical that the members who have business goods and services have other members in the group who are contacting businesses. This will increase the likelihood that they too will receive referrals.  The entire group will likely be able to refer business to members who are offering personal goods and services.

Whom you are currently spending money with?

•Contact from your personal rolodex?
•Who belongs to your local parent teacher association?
•Who is your child's scout leader?
•Who is in your Rotary Club?
•Who is in your Lions Club? Or Kiwanis?
