Local businessman Murray Beer from Ibex Marketing has managed to get high profile New Zealand speaker John Morrell commonly known as the Referral Guru to deliver a customised workshop in Hamilton for SME's looking to generate quality referrals from their existing customers.

Murray says "I was fortunate to be able to see John speak in Auckland several months ago at a Rev Sales Network event and was blown away by the practical content he delivered.

John is an iconic brand in New Zealand business & a proven partnership broker with over 30 years of hands-on Sales and Marketing experience. John understands the daily challenges faced by motivated professionals when it comes to leveraging Sales teams and their respective clients for new business".

Murray went on to say "Because of the differences I made in my own referral processes with my existing clients after hearing John speak I approached him to see if he would do a similar workshop in Hamilton for some of our local SME business owners. Although he has a pretty tight schedule he agreed to do a workshop on the 12th of October, it was a bit of a coup because I personally knew quite a few fellow business owners who were keen to come along and hear John talking about increasing the level of client referrals"

Murray is known in many Hamilton circles as a guy who loves connecting people with others and knowing Murray personally I know he connects me to at least one new business contact a month so I wasn't surprised to hear how much effort he had put in to organise getting such a high profile speaker to Hamilton simply because he thought it would be valuable to other business owners and sales managers.

Murray has approached John to offer 5 PLACES to InfoNews readers at $249 - There are only 13 places left in total for this event at the time of writing so allocating 5 for InfoNews readers is great, thanks guys.
