Have you ever thought about the value of your time? How much it can impact others, and how prioritizing it reflects how we prioritize people?

Matt Alderton is known for his expertise in building referral relationships and networking strategies. Matt shares his insights on the power of giving time to others, the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people, and the success he has achieved through his unique approach to business networking. 

Referral relationships play a pivotal role in business growth, and Matt understands the significance of building these partnerships, especially for startups. He shares his blueprint for creating a 6-figure referral marketing plan and explains how implementing this system with a team can generate a 7-figure return from networking alone. Whether you're an early entrepreneur or an established business owner, Matt's framework provides invaluable guidance in training your sales team and taking your business to new heights. 

But networking isn't just about numbers and transactions for Matt. It's about creating a community where individuals can connect personally, forging meaningful relationships beyond business. That is why BX Networking stands out from other traditional networking groups. Matt's vision is to provide a space where members can participate as little or as much as they want, attend different locations, and build referral partnerships outside the room.
