I'm Philip Pelto
I'll never forget the moment I discovered the power of referrals and I knew my path was to share my gift with other business professionals.
I was selling Cutco knives in my senior year of high school. I was motivated and enthusiastic about my new gig and I was determined to be successful.
The only problem was, I was poor, and my network (or my mom’s network) wasn’t much better. So I needed to get referred outside my inner circle ASAP!Â
The answer was so simple. Just ask to be introduced to people. Ask for referrals.
I've always been a little bit lazy.
But Bill Gates said; “I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”
So I wanted to develop a way for me to increase my sales and my closing % without increasing my call volume. So that’s what I did. I learned how to ask for targeted referrals. I learned how to build strategic partnerships with other professionals that could refer me business. And I have taught that process to thousands of business owners and sales people over the last 25 years.
Now I help driven professionals like you go from cold calling and ineffective marketing to a steady flow of referrals from clients and partners.
Now it’s your turn: Build that referral engine so you can take back your time and build the company and the life you’ve always dreamed of. I’m here to help you get there.
The compound effect of a network is real. Relationships have value. The longer you wait, the greater the lost opportunity cost becomes down the road. Let’s get started today!
Phil is a passionate connector with an entrepreneurial mindset.
"I met Phil in 2017. Phil is a passionate connector with an entrepreneurial mindset. Business networking is more than simply meeting people and collecting cards. I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to build and keep strong professional ties with clients/partners. It’s obvious that Phil enjoys supporting and developing people and I feel fortunate to be a member of his organization."
LISSETTE WELLS
I'd highly recommend Phil!
"I found Phil through a mutual acquaintance as he had recommended Phil for a speaker at our convention on the topic of sales and networking. I ended up hiring Phil to come and give an hour long speech at our franchise owner national convention. I appreciated Phil's attention to our specific business as we had a few conversations leading up to the convention about our business and he tailored a speech for our group of business owners and it was awesome! I've hired speakers in for past conventions and Phil is in the top 2 in my book. I'd highly recommend him!"
