Do you have referral partners?

Hello All,

I was just sitting here in the midst of planning my referral networking group. The goal will be to get a total of 100 referral partners. During all this, it came to me that not all people or businesses are ideal referral partners. So, I wanted to here from everyone. What do you look for when you look for referral partners? Is this an exclusive group that only supports each other businesses or do you referral to others as well? Is this working for you?

What my original plan consisted of was to form a group a 100 referral partners in different businesses, areas or niches that would refer business solely to each other. It seemed like a good idea but then I starting thinking. What if someone is a less than ideal referral partner? What if you get complaints from those you referred the person to? Do you send an email terminating your referral partnership? Can you “fire” a referral partner or do you just stop referring people to them? I would love to here everyone’s opinion on this subject. Happy selling! Lisa Mullins www.reliable-business.com
