- About Me
- I am the founder of Referrals Unlimited Network, a group and individual coaching practice, started in 2007, in Lancaster, PA. I am also a coach - a netweaving/networking coach! My specialty is in helping small offline businesses market online through social media. I can help you prepare your profiles for each of the online networks and help you develop your networking plan as a critical part of your marketing plan. Connection + Conversations + Communication + Caring + Creating Relationships = More Clients + More Customers and Ultimately More Cash!
Group coaching is offered through face-to-face groups that meet on a weekly basis. Currently, in development, is online membership group that will allow members from all over the world to take part in my coaching services.
As a small business owner, in 1993, I had no money available for marketing. So I began joining local organizations and networking to get my services known in my area. I encouraged my clients to call me before they looked anywhere else when they needed a product or service so that I could connect them with someone in my steadily growing network. I soon found that connecting people, helping them find someone to solve their problems, was what I loved to do.
In 2000, I became ill and had to close down my Virtual Assistant business. During my recuperation and recovery period I researched online to find something that I could do that involved my true love of networking and connecting. I joined LinkedIn in 2004 and began participating in forums, reading and learning more about online connections. RUNLancaster was born as a result of that research and I launched my first face-to-face group in 2007.
Public speaking is one of the ways that I market my practice. I am available as a speaker for various groups online and offline.

- My Current Networking Objectives
- Netweaving is the next step in networking - making your connections solid - by offering to help others before expecting a payback to yourself! How do you build a business by doing that? Hire me and we'll explore the ways that will work best for you!
Many people know they need to network, but they really don’t understand what to do when they are at an event or how to build a relationship with the people they meet. I spent several years doing research on different forms of networking groups, both online and offline and found that the word “networking” is quickly becoming overused and many people do not understand what it means to network. As a result, I have developed a new way to help businesses spread the word about what they do, by giving first – extending their hand to offer help with no expectation of anything coming back to them. Focusing on people, building and cultivating relationships, finding out what someone else needs or wants and becoming a “connector.”

- That's better, Carol. I wrote a review of a new business networking book, The Skinny on Networking by Jim Randel. I don't know if you saw it.
I'm planning a major offline recruiting initiative for this site through several business groups. Hoping to see lots of new people once that gets going. I'm waiting until we pass 200 members before starting.
Do you think you might want to have a group here?
