Where the work comes from

How referrals work for an optician

Your best referrals rarely come from online marketing. They come from people who regularly talk to families, older people and screen-based workers. That’s why GPs, audiologists and employers make such strong referral partners for every optician, in Brentwood or anywhere in Essex.
Natural referral partners: GPs, audiologists and employers

Inside a Thursday meeting

Members meet every Thursday from 6:30am to 8:30am, so it’s done before your working day starts. Each week you get at least a minute to present your business. Between meetings, members arrange one-to-one catch-ups to learn who makes a good referral, and there’s a genuine social side too – summer BBQs, Halloween events and charity challenges.

Keeping it affordable

Visiting costs nothing, with no obligation to join. Should you decide to become a member, membership fees can be paid monthly, and there’s a 6-month trial membership if you’d rather test the water, which keeps it manageable for smaller businesses.

Questions

Can I recommend someone outside Brentwood?

Not at all. EBF members travel in from all over Essex, so any great optician nearby is welcome.

Do I have to join after my first visit?

No. Your first visit is free, with no pressure to sign up. Join us one Thursday, meet the members and make up your own mind.
