Legends of SF14,
Below is from a post Provisors Regional Director for South Florida, Erika Buenaventura, just posted re affinity groups.
I mentioned at yesterday’s home group meeting Barry Cohn (Westlake 5), who has been a PV member since 2015.
He’s received zero referrals from his home group over the last four years 
Most his referrals come from affinity groups 
Incidentally, Barry also gets value from PV from reading Monday announcements email that PV sends out, which once included an announcement to purchase another HR practice, which he did. You could expand your business from reading those weekly announcements!
Keep in mind, several fellow SF14 members are Affinity Group Leaders.
Get to know them. Guest at their groups. Get to know their members.
️ Thubten Comerford leads the PNW M&A Corporate Deal Makers Affinity Group
️ Elva Harding leads the Bay Area Real Estate Group
️ Phyllis Simon leads the Black Professionals Affinity Group
