Referrals don’t go to everyone — they go to a short, trusted list. This Lunch & Learn reveals how business owners actually decide who makes that list — and how you can intentionally earn a spot in it. Every successful business owner has a Business Inner Circle: a small group of professionals they trust enough to stake their own reputation on. This session breaks down how those circles form and how trust is earned over time. What You’ll Learn: ☑️ Why referrals transfer credibility, not just contact info ☑️ How business owners pre-qualify who they trust ☑️ How visibility, consistency, and contribution build Inner Circle status ☑️ How to become referable — without asking for referrals Featured Speakers & Perspectives David Rabenold & Chuck Holder – Networking 360 Connect How structured networking, intentional follow-up, and accountability turn familiarity into trust. ? https://networking360connect.com Pete Reinke – Friends of Pete Why loyalty, advocacy, and real community naturally earn Inner Circle placement. ? https://friendsofpete.org Seth Rubin – Network Lehigh Valley How consistency and regional visibility position you as someone others want to recommend. ? https://networklehighvalley.com Maria Wirth – Business Owners Trade Alliance Why Inner Circles exist, how trust is earned behind the scenes, and how tools like recommendations and reviews accelerate — never replace — real relationships. ? https://www.botatrade.com ? https://www.alignable.com/groups/alignable-alliance-of-lehigh-valley-pa Why Attend Our last event drew 90+ business owners, and we expect another strong crowd.
