## Resource

Title: The Year of the Sphere: The Highest & Best Use of Your Limited Resources to Get Referrals Host: Michael J. Maher Guest: Joey Calvin Description: In this episode of the Referrals Podcast, Michael sits down with rising referral-based Realtor Joey Calvin to break down one of the most talked-about posts inside the GenGen community—grading your database using The Seven Levels of Communication. Joey shares how shifting from contacting everyone equally to intentionally segmenting his sphere transformed his business, his time, and his relationships. They dive deep into how to identify Ambassadors, VIPs, and Champions, why influence matters more than assumptions, and how simplifying your system can actually help you scale. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your database or unsure where to focus your energy, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a practical path forward.
