Title: 39 Referrals… But That Wasn't the Best Part

Host: Michael J. Maher

Guest: Brenda Conyn, REALTOR® | Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Description: What could happen if you stopped thinking about hosting an event…and finally just did one?

In this episode of Referrals Podcast, Michael J. Maher sits down with Brenda Conyn to talk about the very first event she ever hosted; a Thanksgiving Pie Day.

Brenda had recently moved to a new community, had a very small local database, and was determined to build her business differently. Instead of relying on paid leads from paid sites, she decided to put the Event Mastery system to work.

She mailed approximately 350 invitations, partnered with six sponsors, welcomed 22 attendees (more than half of whom she had never met before) and generated 39 total referrals.

Pretty incredible for a first event.

But that's not even the best part.

After the event, Brenda had a few leftover pies. She delivered the final one to her doctor's office, introduced herself to the woman behind the desk and casually mentioned that she was a Realtor.

Her response?

"You're a Realtor? I need a Realtor!"
