Orthopedic & Pain Management: Best Referral Sources
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 orthopedic and pain management practices 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 orthopedic and pain management practices, who else gets a call that same week?
Orthopedic and pain management practices sell to individuals and households, and most of the work starts when somebody gets hurt. It moves fast, so being the name already in hand matters more than being the cheapest. Clients return now and then, so the introduction has to keep paying off.
- Injurywhen somebody gets hurt
- Auto collisionwhen somebody gets in a car accident
- Aging / care transitionwhen an aging parent needs a different living situation

Your county medical society
Most orthopedic and pain management practices join this room first. It is also the one most likely to be the wrong pick. Doctors in one room, and almost nobody there is selling to them. You can usually go as a sponsor. Everyone in it does what you do. Join it for the training, the licences, and the ties to manufacturers. Do not join it for referrals, and do not join it instead of the rooms above.
Your county medical society →Let us be straight with you. For orthopedic and pain management practices, 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 orthopedic & pain management per chapter. Put in a South Florida ZIP above and we will show you which seats are open.

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.
