HELP!! Professional networking: I am a new MBA seeking referrals from people with mid-large companies?
I currently work for the government of a capital city. I have been a lead procurement analyst (2yrs) and a sr. financial analyst (1yr). I am now an executive director seeking transition back into the private sector. Previous private sector experience is in marketing analysis / program management (18 mos). I have a BA in Economics, MS in MIS, and MBA. Job boards aren't working, school career centers aren't helping much, and my personal network is exhausted. I'm looking for an analytical role in finance, procurement, supply chain, IT, or marketing. If you can help me, please leave your email, what company you work for, and how you are willing to help. No scams or MLM responses please.

Join a professional networking group, such as Linkedin.com.
It's free, no obligation, and it should give you a leg up into the world of networking.

From what I gather, you are casting a very wide net, and that can be perceived as desperation (not a good signal). Perhaps being more specific about the industry you want to be in will help... If you aren't sure, it might be a good idea to work through a headhunter or staffing service (they tend to have established relationships with larger companies) to help target your search and get your foot in the door.
Good luck!

Also, you can try Ladders.com for career searches with salaries over 100K annually.
What about executive search firms?

This simple referral system shows you the secret to having ongoing referrals without ever having to ask for them.
Many of the greatest referral marketers of all time know the secret to having ongoing referrals without ever having to ask for them.
This simple referral system shows you how.
You may think that you just need to have a network of people who know who you are and what you do. True to a point, but more importantly you need to have a network of people who like you and trust you! The deeper the relationship you build with your past, present, and prospective clients, as well as other personal and business contacts, the more referrals you will get!
In a nutshell; the amount of referrals you get is directly proportional to the level of trust and affection people feel for you.
Car salesman Joe Girard was named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the Greatest Salesman in the World, because for twelve consecutive years he sold more cars than anyone in the world! He simply sent heart-felt, hand-written thank you cards to everyone in his network of customers and contacts. ALL of Joe’s business came from referrals!
Many of the greatest referral marketers of all time urge business people to start a habit of sending out sincere cards.
Harvey Mackay says; “Short handwritten cards yield long results. In sales, never underestimate the importance of the personal gesture, and right at the top of the list of effective personal gestures sits the handwritten card. Always send memorable cards and personal notes when you are reminded of a person.” . . . Harvey is the author of two New York Times #1 bestsellers. According to the New York Times his books are among the top 15 inspirational business books of all time.
Tom Hopkins writes; “Because I understood that building relationships is what selling is all about, I began early in my career to send thank you cards to people. I set a goal to send ten thank you cards every day. Guess what happened? By the end of my third year in sales, my business was 98% referrals!” Tom Hopkins is a sales legend and is recognized world-wide as a master sales trainer.
Author and Networking Guru Bob Burg teaches; “Thank you cards are one of the most powerful tools in building a huge network, both professionally and socially. People with the most impressive networks are typically avid card writers. It's one of the best techniques for long-term winning without intimidation. I suggest getting into the habit of immediately sending out cards.” Mr. Burg (Endless Referrals: Network Your Everyday Contacts Into Sales) has long been the authority on connecting with clients and building win-win relationships.
Realtor Danielle Kennedy now lectures; “Write customers personal, handwritten cards frequently. If you run into an old customer anywhere, follow up with a handwritten card. In this electronic communication age of email, the handwritten card with a postage stamp gets more immediate attention than ever.” Danielle Kennedy proved herself a master seller in the field of real estate and has written several books on how to sell real estate successfully. She has since moved to the lecture circuit, where she conducts motivational and sales seminars.
And much has been said in business books and magazine articles about Jack Welch's habit of sending handwritten cards to his GE subordinates. Jack Welch sent handwritten cards to anyone in the company who he felt deserved personal communication, whether to motivate, correct, or congratulate, from top management to laborers. Jack is the celebrated leader who, between 1981 and 2001, turned GE into one of the largest and most admired companies in the world.
Remember this … people usually forget what you say and do, but they never forget how you make them feel. So if you learn how to make your customers and clients fall in love with YOU, you will never be stuck scratching your head wondering how to attract more customers to grow your business. Sending personalized, handwritten, meaningful cards through the mail is a simple enough idea, but until NOW – it has not been an easy thing to do in an ongoing and organized manner. For you to develop a relationship of trust with a large network of people you will need a system for sending out your hand written and personalized cards and managing those relationships over time.
Now this process has been automated AND the costs involved have been reduced. You can now utilize an online greeting card system that prints (with your own handwriting and signature) and mails your cards worldwide.
Take a free trial and follow the prompts to send a card or two via the system. http://www.referraltechnique.com/
