Who should be sending you clients, and the rooms they are already sitting in.
Get the networking events worth showing up to
Tell us where you are. We will send you the best rooms for bail bond agents and the next meeting dates. Add a ZIP and this page will also show your local chapters and which seats are open.
Most business owners network where their competitors are, not where their referral partners are.
Your own trade group is for learning. Your partners' groups are where the work comes from. Everything below starts with one question. When something happens that makes people need bail bond agents, who else gets a call that same week?
Bail bond agents sell to individuals and households, and most of the work starts when somebody gets arrested or charged. It is usually an emergency, so whoever is trusted at that moment gets the call. Most clients buy once, so the flow of new names is the whole business.

Attorney Criminal Defense's annual trade show
Event or trade showA useful room for bail bond agents, but not one where your top partners concentrate.
Go to your best partner's yearly show, not your own. A roofer at a property manager conference is the only roofer there. Walk the floor. Skip the booth.

Rotary International
Community & service organizationNo referral mechanics at all, which is why the trust runs deep. Business follows in year two, not month two.
Weekly, service first, and openly not a referral group, which is why the trust runs so deep. Work comes after a year, not a month. Members skew older and settled.

Let us be straight with you. For bail bond agents, a weekly referral group is not the best pick. Your partners gather in professional groups instead, so spend your time there. We would rather say that than sell you a seat you do not need.
Is your seat open?
Prime Time takes one bail bonds per chapter. Put in a South Florida ZIP above and we will show you which seats are open.
