Turning Networking into a Business Game-Changer

When James Carter started his real estate career, he knew that relationships were key to success. However, breaking into the local market and building trust with potential clients wasn’t easy. Looking for a way to accelerate his business growth, James joined AmSpirit Business Connections Greater Miami Valley.

Within weeks, James was introduced to other professionals in related industries, like mortgage brokers, contractors, and home inspectors. These connections quickly turned into a steady stream of referrals. By his second year with AmSpirit, James had closed five additional home sales directly from referrals, significantly boosting his revenue and local reputation.

“Joining AmSpirit was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business,” says James. “It’s not just about referrals—it’s about being part of a network that genuinely wants to see you succeed.”

Today, James continues to thrive, helping new members leverage AmSpirit to build their own success stories.
