Effective business networking and the referrals generated are a great way to to grow your business. Take a look at a few of the success stories produced by our networking groups in Tucson. The results are impressive!

Here Are Some of Our Success Stories in 2011!

Pete Martinez of Martinez Custom Painting generated more than $82,000 in business directly from the network. That's more that $1,000 for each our spent networking.

One small chapter generated $80,000 worth of income for Javier Murrietta of Gerber Collision, in November alone!

Quebedaux Collision received approximately $300,000 in revenue from just ONE member. That pays for their annual membership fees and all meals for the next 569 years!

Adele Lindquist of AzTech Appraisals generated more than $9,000 a hour for every hour she spent in our meetings. (We are looking for a new appraiser if you know someone. Adele is now too busy to make our meetings).

We have three restoration service providers in the network (Belfor Restoration, TM Building and Quality Restoration). Collectively they received in excess of $400,000 in revenue from the network in 2011.

Jody Butler is a handyman who owns The Butler Did It. He generated an average of $6,000 worth of business every time he ate lunch with us.

Paul Bellows of Strategy1 Services reports 30% of gross annual income comes directly as a result of connections made in our network.

Dan Kalm of State Farm wrote in excess of $70,000 worth of premiums. He referred approximately $1,000,000 worth of closed business directly to other members of the network. That's an average of $50,000 at every lunch!

Tucson Federal Credit Union closed on more than $1.2 million in business considering auto loans, depository accounts, credit cards, business loans etc. That comes out to about $22,000 in volume for every hour spent in our meetings!

Audrey Good of Compupay is now the approved in house payroll service provider for a financial institution with more than 40,000 clients as a result of a connection made in the network.

Rick Hanson of Signature Business Solutions is the recommended Merchant Service Provider for a large banking institution as a result of his membership.

One of our members referred a client to David Hirsch of FastSigns Speedway. David helped them on a $7,000 order, and has another $14,000 coming from that one introduction.

Because quality of membership is so strictly enforced at Referral Tree, every active Referral Tree member received an offer to be on the Ritz Carlton ~ Dove Mountain recommended list of service providers (the Ritz Carlton is not a member of our network. They offered this because their standards of quality are equally as stringent and they only recommend the best of the best).

The list goes on and on, the results speak for themselves. It's a new way of networking, it works. Let's get your business listed on the success stories for 2012!

Why Join Referral Tree?

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:53:32 -0600

The main reason one joins any networking group is to generate new business. There are many factors to think about when one considers joining a network. There is the well founded concern that a networking group may not deliver on its promise to provide enough business referrals to justify the time and cost commitment needed to maintain one’s membership. Often networking groups fall short of their members’ expectations for quality referrals and unfortunately turn into unstructured "social" networks, which leads to reduced involvement and disillusionment of members. It doesn’t have to be this way.

We analyzed several of the leading networking models and identified their major strengths and weaknesses. We worked very hard to eliminate the issues that network veterans identified as weaknesses of other models, and created new structures and techniques to amplify the strengths. Our efforts have culminated in what we believe is the most advanced and powerful business networking model available. We are confident there is no other network choice available that will provide you with more referral business than membership with Referral Tree.

The list below highlights the combination of features that sets Referral Tree apart from any other networking group in existence.

A central focus on providing maximum quality referrals to all our members.
Reasonable time commitment for meetings.
A unique application and screening process that identifies a membership whose customer service and referring ability is second to none.
A wide range of professions and services providing a strong referring base.
A collaborative meeting structure that reinforces/educates members on customer service and referring skills.
A one-of-a-kind web-accessible database which connects all Referral Tree members and their services for easy and efficient referring.
And SO MUCH more!
