We focus on cultivating consistent referral generating partnerships using a variety of techniques, such as having two members in related fields present a topic. (We have found it helps our members see how they can turn one referral into multiple referrals. In addition, our members get more frequent speaking opporuntities throughout the year with different members.)

If your business does not conflict with the members listed in the column to the right, we invite you to contact us or check us out.

FAQ

We recently asked ourselves "What would we want to know if we had to find new groups?"

How big is the group and how many people attend weekly?

As of February 2010, Tempe Tippers currently has 14 members and a typical lunch has a dozen or more attendees. How many quality leads are passed each month?

About 50 quality leads. How do you measure the quality of leads?

We track every lead - who passed it, who received it, when it was passed, when it was closed and the commission generated. How long until a new member can expect to receive tips?

Usually 4-6 months. Our group is about relationships (trust) and training each other. Are members restricted from being part of other groups?

No, we understand the need to be part of a couple groups but being part of too many groups is a flag that a) you likely won't have enough tips to spread among the 3+ groups and b) you are busy networking and not busy closing deals. Are members happy with the group?

In addition to the success tracked financially, we all enjoy each other's company and various styles of humor. Business needs an element of fun. How structured is the group?

Our group spun off from a formal organization. We don't financially penalize members. Our only requirement is attendance-related. How long has the group been together?

Tempe Tippers started in spring of 2004 and tracked over $500,000 in referral commissions. How experienced are the members of the group?

The average Tempe Tipper industry experience is 9.5 years. The mode (in statistics the most frequent occurrence) is 5.5 years of industry experience. What percentage of each member's business comes from the group?

Tempe Tipper's goal has been to provide a minimum of 10% of a member's business, a goal which most of us hit or exceed. Is the group more focused on families/homes or businesses?

Tempe Tippers is slightly tilted towards families/homes but our goal is to be 50/50 mix of each.

MLM's (multi-level marketers) are welcome to the group but we firmly insist Tempe Tipper members are not asked to become part of the organization (downline members).
