The acronym "POD" stands for Professionals Opening Doors. PODs is a small social networking group created with the sole purpose of helping members develop relationships and refer business. These networking groups allow ACG Los Angeles members to better leverage their membership.
As participants find value and build relationships, they may split off into their own PODS to continue the flow of business and leverage an ever increasing number of potential referral partners. Most PODS stay intact for several years in order to build greater depth & breadth with each member.
The most successful PODS meet frequently and regularly with the specific intent and purpose of transacting business, sharing leads and leveraging each other’s contacts and business expertise.
ACG Los Angeles can support PODS by providing introductions, structure and tools for members that wish to create or join a POD.
