A referral network is a community of business owners and senior sales professionals who sell to similar customers who open their network to one another, providing sales leads and introductions. Statistics show that referrals are the easiest and least expensive way to create new business.
--76% of senior management personnel prefer working with suppliers that have been referred to them by someone they know.
--The referred customers have a 37% higher retention rate as compared to those who were not referred. They also have an 18% higher rate of becoming long-term clients as compared to the non-referred ones.
--54% of B2B referrals have a much lower cost when compared to other sources of leads.
Statistics are found at www.thinkimpact.com/b2b-referral-statistics.
Do I have to meet a referral quota each month?
No.
Policies where there is subtle (or not-so-subtle) pressure to give referrals for the sake of referrals violate my conscience and it should bother everyone! We build networking groups to give people a place to be a trusted advisor to individuals in their own networks. Part of the beauty and joy of being a trusted advisor to everyone in your network is that people come to know you as a person who makes the right referrals, not just any referrals.
We trust our members to always do the right thing by making the best match that they can imagine in their minds, even if that person you refer is not in the group that we're in together.
