The Referral Engine: How Trust, Networking, and Customer Service Turn a Room into Revenue

Dr. Donna Smith Bellinger, Fractional Sales Manager and founder of askdsb.com, delivers a research backed keynote built specifically for NAPO members, NAPO business partners, and their guests.

In 30 fast moving minutes, the presentation breaks down why word of mouth still outperforms every paid channel, how to treat a conference room as an active sales pipeline, why business partners and members are referral partners rather than vendors and customers, and how everyday client service becomes the most reliable form of marketing a small business has. Every segment ends with a tool attendees can use immediately, a script, a worksheet, or a follow up plan, so the room leaves with action, not just applause.

Following the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to break into small networking groups and tour Salvage One with the Salvage One staff, learning about its history and how it became a Chicago treasure of valuable castaways.

Registration is free for NAPO Chicago members, business partners, and their guests, and $25 for the public. Your ticket includes a lunch buffet with coffee and dessert, Dr. Bellinger's keynote, small group networking, and a guided tour of Salvage One.
