In the dynamic landscape of TOP Networking meetings, the referral round is a cornerstone moment, distinct from the initial elevator pitches. It’s a platform rich with potential, weaving together reflection, foresight, and actionable plans. It appears towards the end of a TOP Club meeting when the room is relaxed in its own company. It is a moment when real new business opportunities are formed.
