“In the business of referrals, trust is the most important reason a recommendation is made and, conversely, lack of trust the single greatest reason referrals don’t happen.”
John Jantsh - The Referral Engine
Quality referrals and business introductions is a must for any successful business. Many of us have built our business based on word of mouth referrals from satisfied and loyal clients. We have developed trust. Proven our capabilities and worked towards building these networks. Over time, we’ve nurtured these relationships. And, now we have come to rely on them. Without trusted people to help us expand our networks and gain personal recommendations, we’re just playing the numbers game.

Being part of Brisbane Platinum Partners is an opportunity to grow your business through qualified referrals and introductions. However, this is dependent on members getting to know and trust that services will be provided ethically and at a high standard. It also requires members to build rapport will fellow members through actively learning about each other’s business and working together to introduce potential clients.
Being visible and staying top of mind by attending meetings and supporting each other through social media is another way to develop trust and increase potential of referrals. Not all services are easy to refer. Some have a long lead time. Others require a deeper understanding. Through educating and communicating with fellow members you can increase referrals for your business.
As well as referrals, you will receive many intangible benefits including professional development and support from fellow members to improve your business.
Of course, people will be more inclined to refer business to you, if they see you are referring business to others. It’s very much about giving as much or more, than you receive.
Members who adhere to these values will find their investment of time and resources deliver both financial and professional rewards.
To become a valued member of our Brisbane Platinum Partners Team we’d like to get to know you first. Likewise, we want you to become familiar with our business breakfast meetings and format as well as connect with our members. The best way to do this is to see us in action.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Attend two meeting as a visitor to observe the meetings
- Complete an application form with two referees
- Pay membership fee $150 for six months, or $240 for 12 months
Once the application form is received by our leadership team, we will be in touch to organise an informal chat about your business and learn more about you.
Two of our members will be present for the membership meeting to allow you to obtain difference perspectives.
Once the meeting is held, and you wish to continue with your application, our team will check referees and advise members of your pending application. Our members can provide their input which is considered when determining new member applications.
Your application is formerly approved on payment of a membership fee.
The only cost is the membership application fee. This is paid on acceptance of your membership. At this stage there are no other mandatory costs.
Once membership is accepted and payment made, the fee is non refunded. If membership is held for less than one month and needs to be relinquished due to illness or other significant event, this will be reviewed by the leadership team.
