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 movers, who else gets a call that same week?
Movers sell to both individuals and businesses, and most of the work starts when a family moves into a new place. It moves fast, so being the name already in hand matters more than being the cheapest. Most clients buy once, so the flow of new names is the whole business.
- Move-in / relocationwhen a family moves into a new place
- Home purchasewhen somebody buys a house
- Home salewhen somebody puts a house on the market
- Job changewhen somebody changes jobs or gets relocated
- Aging / care transitionwhen an aging parent needs a different living situation
- Divorcewhen a marriage ends
- Death / probatewhen somebody dies and an estate has to be settled
- New lease or locationwhen a business signs a lease or opens a location

Let us be straight with you. For movers, 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 moving company per chapter. Put in a South Florida ZIP above and we will show you which seats are open.
Add a ZIP code at the top of the page to see which seats are open.
Prime Time doesn't operate where you are yet.
We have fifteen chapters in South Florida and none near you. Telling you to join would be bad advice. The rooms above are the real answer where you are. We can email you the one page version and let you know if we open near you.
Send me those roomsHave the next meetings sent to you
The rooms above are the answer. This is when they meet. Tell us where to send it and we will email you the next dates for movers, with the one page plan.
We already know your trade and your area from this page, so there is nothing else to fill in. We do not ask for a phone number. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link.
