BERGER BITES - New Kid on the Block – Referral Key

Posted by Jim Stroud

September 7, 2007

Mark Berger I wanted to take a few minutes and tell everyone about a new business-networking site, Referral Key. This network allows you to build a network of trusted business professionals that you can call upon for almost any type of business referral. They are all business. No groups or chit chat here. Their sole purpose is to put you in touch with people that can help you grow your business.

One feature that sets them apart from many of the other business networks is your ability to track and analyze your referral partnerships with detailed reporting tools. Referral Key sends you and your associates’ periodic appraisal reports that show the status of referrals and helps to make sure your relationships are well-balanced. With your ability to rate leads from referring partners, you can establish yourself as a high-quality referring partner, encouraging reciprocal behavior from others.

You can obtain leads and referrals based on your area of expertise and/or geography.

Getting started is easy. Signing up for their basic membership is free. You are asked to invite several people you know to the service when you begin.

Check out their website at www.referralkey.com.
