Summary
Title: 65 Referrals. One Event. $44 Out of Pocket. Host: Michael J. Maher Guest: Allen Smith Description: What if you could host a memorable event, strengthen relationships, support a local charity, generate dozens of referral opportunities, and do it all for less than the cost of taking a client to dinner? In this episode of Referrals Podcast, Michael sits down with Allen Smith, Realtor with Team Encompass in Raleigh, North Carolina, to unpack the story behind his "Fiesta with Friends" Cinco de Mayo event. After listening to Referrals Podcast for several months, Allen enrolled in Referral Mastery Academy and jumped into Event Mastery. Even though he joined the class late, he immediately took action. The result? An event that brought together clients, referral partners, sponsors, local businesses, and a charitable cause while creating an incredible experience for everyone involved. Allen shares how he selected the venue, secured sponsors, incorporated a charitable component, confirmed attendees, facilitated connections throughout the event, and executed a follow-up strategy designed to maximize relationships and referrals. If you've ever thought events were too expensive, too complicated, or too risky, this episode may completely change your perspective.
