If your salespeople are merely dabbling in referrals, you are missing tons of sales opportunities.

You will deepen your relationships with your clients/customers, create advocates for your business, and acquire more ideal clients/customers through referrals, introductions, and more effective messaging. The fastest way to cut through the noise and reach prospects is through an introduction from someone they already trust.
