Hi all,
I am looking to network with any insurance agents, property managers, leasing agents, mortgage lenders, and commercial realtors in Illinois. I provide security for commercial businesses around Chicago and the Northwest Suburbs. I will work something out to benefit us both (a percentage or straight check amount) and will provide referrals back to you.

If you or anyone you know is interested, please let me know. Thanks!

Many of the industries you refer to have associations and you may want to look on their sites for contacts as well.

ADT, one of the proposals that I put together for one of my clients who was trying to do the same thing on the residential side, ie. broker, homelender, handyman, movers was to recommend that they spend a little bit of money to do two things:

-put down a formal agreement as to how they would work together
-develop a website for all of them to present a full service solution to the client

This takes work and you can run into obsticles but I am sure no one else is doing it!

Yea I definitely thought of the written agreement because it shows the client that I am really serious about getting things done (and they get their money). I thought of the website too but it would take the effort of all parties involved to develop the site (very difficult). I thought about just creating a simple website myself so people could log on and check out the various solutions I have to offer for their business without the pressure of a sales "pitch". Thanks for your advice, I am going to start developing a better strategy to reach new business.

We have done a similar thing if you put the website up and draw up a simple contract you will find it is not as difficult as you think. Most people think it is and thats why they do not do it - which is a good thing for you. Regarding the referrals - the best people you can have as part of this partnership are people that you already have a relationship with. Then referral fees become less of a tracking issue becaue people trust you.
