  452 21 Referrals Earned From ONE Event with Michael J Maher and Jamie Yezarski

  Aug 18, 202654 min

  Title: 21 Referrals Earned From ONE Event Host: Michael J. Maher Guest: Jamie Yezarski, Real Estate Agent - New Bern, North Carolina Description: What if your next client event didn't cost you money… but actually made you money AND generated 21 real estate referrals? In this episode of the Referrals Podcast, Michael J. Maher sits down with longtime real estate professional Jamie Yezarski to unpack the story behind Jamie's recent Gratitude and Gravy event. Jamie had just four weeks to pull the event together. It was held on a Wednesday evening at a local sandwich shop. Around 40 people attended. And the results? 21 real estate referrals. 18 partner referrals. Four pieces of business already generated. Less than $1,000 in event costs. $1,450 in sponsorship revenue. Jamie shares exactly how he made it happen, including how he invited guests, secured sponsors, incorporated a charitable toy drive, involved friends and community partners, and created an event that was both profitable and genuinely fun. You'll also hear why Jamie believes the secret wasn't executing everything perfectly, it was simply taking action. Michael and Jamie discuss how events can create a true community of influence, why sponsors can dramatically reduce your costs, how charity adds another layer of connection, and why even people who don't attend your event can become referral sources. If you've ever thought events were too expensive, too complicated, or just "not your thing," this episode may completely change the way you look at them. (7L) Referral Strategies and Podcast Topics: Event Mastery Special Offer: Want to create events that deepen relationships, generate referrals, attract sponsors, and become something your community looks forward to every year? Michael will be teaching Event Mastery Class this October and November, walking participants through the complete system for planning, promoting, sponsoring, hosting, and following up after a referral-generating Thanksgiving Pie Day event.

  Title: The 30-Day Challenge That Changed Their Referral Game Host: Michael J. Maher Guests: Joey Calvin and Rob Howard Description: What happens when two highly committed Realtors enter a 30-day challenge, support each other instead of competing, and decide to go all in? In this episode, Michael sits down with SummerFest Challenge co-winners Joey Calvin and Rob Howard to unpack exactly what helped them rise to the top. They share how blocking off time, creating daily rituals, scheduling meaningful one-on-one conversations, improving follow-up, and staying accountable helped them build momentum throughout the challenge. Joey reveals how his intentional networking resulted in 12 referrals given, 7 referrals received, and three active opportunities, while Rob shares how daily lunches, relationship-building conversations, and simple social media questions generated surprising engagement and new business possibilities. They also talk about the power of the Generosity Generation community, why they chose collaboration over competition, and how committing to a 30-day challenge can create changes that last far beyond the challenge itself. Plus, Joey shares the story behind his new book, The Advantage of Quietly Giving More: How Thoughtful Service Creates Momentum, and Rob discusses the very different books he has written—including a real estate guide and a Knoxville-based murder mystery. If you've been waiting for the perfect time to become more intentional about your relationships, referrals, and daily habits, this episode is your reminder that sometimes the biggest results begin with simply deciding to commit. (7L) Referral Strategies: Schedule people, not just tasks. Block dedicated time for relationship-building activities. Create consistent morning and evening rituals. Make intentional one-on-one connections. Follow up after conversations. Give referrals generously. Use simple social media questions to create engagement and conversation.
