Referral Institute

The Referral Institute teaches business professionals throughout the world how to harness the power of word-of-mouth marketing to drive sales for fast, sustainable business growth. At present, the organization has over 100 certified trainers operating in nine countries, and the numbers are rapidly growing.

Referal-based, word-of-mouth is the ultimate sales program. Those who train in it are Master Salespeople. There is no exception to this rule. Other marketing tools like traditional advertising, public relations and websites are certainly of value, particularly if they reinforce the word-of-mouth process. The experienced sales professional recognizes the word-of-mouth is head and shoulders above all other sales and marketing methods.

Please browse our site to learn a little more about word-of-mouth marketing as well as effective referral systems available through the Referral Institute. Beyond that, we would love to talk with you (word-of-mouth or email) about growing your business the effective way, by generating qualified referrals.

SendOutCards

BNI and SendOutCards are pleased to announce their new Strategic Alliance relationship. SendOutCards is a concept and service that is changing people's lives. You can send a printed greeting card with your message in less than 60 seconds. Choose your card, write your message, click send -- that's it! SendOutCards prints it, stuffs it and mails it -- all for less than the price of a greeting card at the store! You can even add a digital picture, gift cards or a check. This can also be used for sales campaigns and customer contacts and appreciation. SendOutCards is about changing people's lives one card at a time. It is about acting on one's promptings to share appreciation. It's all about "Givers Gain." It's about sending a card to celebrate the person receiving it -- not to promote the person sending it.
