  • ReferralTopia May 2022 REPLAY

    ReferralTopia May 2022 REPLAY

    On May 19th both Caerusnet members and non-members alike came together for an amazing morning of professional development and live-online networking, all done on Zoom.

    Here is what the landing page looked like that attendees used to self-navigate the event.  Many links are still active, like information about ReferralTopia sponsor, Professional EOS Implementer, Catherine Juon:
    https://www.caerusnet.com/referraltopia

    All three speakers, Jason Tracey from Roar Consulting, Anthony Ianni – author of the book Centered, and Wendy Caverly from Crusaders Networking and Caerusnet Connections delivered excellent talks that drew rave reviews.  The replay of each presentation is below in order of presenters, including a video of the BONUS ReferralTopia trivia game that started right when ReferralTopia ended.

    Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of this post two watch an AMAZING video of the ReferralTopia Afterglow which was later in the day after ReferralTopia online.  It was hosted by Doug Moffat, longtime Caerusnetter and entertainment was by DJ SHAWN COX from Bash Entertainment.  Finally, the best part of all of this was the generosity of those who attended ReferralTopia and also donated to the event, allowing for us raise funds and make a difference for Kids On The Go, a St. Clair Shores, MI nonprofit charity.

    We will be doing ReferralTopia again, at least once per year, based on attendee reviews.  Sorry if you missed this year’s ReferralTopia.  It may have been the best one yet!

  • The Caerusnet PODCAST – A Great Tool For Sharing & Learning

    The Caerusnet PODCAST – A Great Tool For Sharing & Learning

    Do you like to take your headphones with you when you go for nice walk or workout at the gym?  How about that windshield time in the car?  Podcasts are super popular these days as people can discover amazing content that you simply just won’t find in the legacy media.  For the past many years, I’ve discovered some great podcasts from Caerusnet members.

    These podcasts are with the people I care about and the benefits of learning from people you know, like and trust is immeasurable.  Personally, I’d like to mention just a few podcasts that I’m a big fan of.  They are the “So, you’re in sales?” podcast by Caerusnet member, Roger Burnett.  His podcasts are very structured and fit well within a 30 min walk or drive most of the time.  Also, I’m a big fan of Brighton Wednesday 10AM Caerusnet member Jason Tracey from Roar Consulting.  Jason’s podcasts on “Coffee & Grit” are very free flow, like a Joe Rogan Experience and you never know where they’re going to go.  Jason is great and helping people share their vulnerabilities.  And also, Caerusnetters, Anglea and Don Putkela, and their real estate podcast, “Welcome to Livingston” is super great!

    In 2022, I’m proud to also introduce The Caerusnet Podcast.  I hope you will consider adding this to your Spotify favorites!  What could be better than learning how to grow by referral than by learning from our Caerusnet peers?  The first five episodes of are ready right now for your listening enjoyment!  The episodes feature some cool, unique Caerusnet members.  Also, learning from top performers and learning from the 2021 Caerusnet Team MVPs (20+ of them join us in one podcast) who authentically share their Caerusnet experience and tips for success with the entire network.

    What’s your favorite local podcast?  Want to be on the podcast yourself?  Have a great success story to share?  Please share your responses with me by clicking here!

  • Katie & Michigan SEO Love Sharing What They Know in Caerusnet

    Katie & Michigan SEO Love Sharing What They Know in Caerusnet

    Katie Blacker from Michigan SEO Group has been an active and welcoming Caerusnet member on the Ann Arbor Tuesday 11AM team since first joining in June, 2018.  In addition to writing digital content for her company’s clients, she also helps Michigan SEO Group with local relationship marketing.  She’s athletic and competitive and is involved coaching a high school volleyball team. She very rarely ever misses a Caerusnet meeting and is active in helping grow her Caerusnet team.  She stood out last year as the team’s 2021 MVP.  We recently had a chance to connect with Katie about her success.

    How long have you been in your profession and what is the best thing about your business/career?
    For seven years now,  I’ve loved every minute of helping small and medium sized businesses grow. Especially working with family-owned businesses and learning why they’re the best at what they do – it’s incredibly rewarding.

    How are you different? Michigan SEO Group really strives to help businesses with presence, care, and compassion. We not only work for our clients, we form personal relationships with them and we never treat them like a number on a spreadsheet.

    What is it about the Caerusnet model that you like most?
    I love that Caerusnet cultivates relationships. In the years I’ve been at Caerusnet, I’ve made great friends, not just partners in referrals.

    Share a success story about why giving referrals/bringing visitors are beneficial to you.
    Giving referrals and bringing visitors to Caerusnet fits right in with our vision at Michigan SEO Group – helping businesses grow and thrive. When I can bring someone to our team or pass a referral, I know I’m helping that business succeed.

    Any tips on learning how to find situations where you can create a referral or invite a visitor?
    Active listening is so important. Many organic conversations don’t include the buzz words we look for to pass a referral, but maybe the person is saying it in a different way. If they’re talking about struggling to get the word out about what they do or if they’re having a hard time generating interest, the answer could be visiting a Caerusnet group.

    What is your approach to positioning yourself as a resource in the community?
    At Michigan SEO Group, we know that there are so many facets to being successful at marketing and SEO.  It is generally very overwhelming for most business owners to take on themselves. Our goal is to be a resource for businesses in the community gain knowledge from, even if they don’t ultimately end up working with us. We believe in being abundant and sharing what we know is the recipe to help others succeed.

    Tips on how to be successful in Caerusnet?
    Have a positive mindset, be a good listener, and practice great attendance! Even if you don’t pass a referral at every meeting, being in the meetings regularly shows the other members you’re dedicated to the team.
