Intro email contact works very well.  Your response reflects on both you and your referral partners.\nLearn about each other’s business.

If you set a time to meet\, ensure you honor it.  Value each other’s time.\nOpen and honest communication is extremely important. If you meet with a guest outside of CBWN consider what your intention is for the meeting and be honest with the person you are meeting. Meeting with colleagues is an opportunity to collaborate and share and might foster a greater relationship and opportunity which may not be evident if you focus on one agenda.\nPrivacy: Be respectful of information shared.
