Helping global teams

We can and do help anyone who has a challenge with attracting new people to their business, whether that’s new clients or new employees.

Ideal for any customer-facing role in B2B or B2C businesses, whether they have an established network or are just starting their career; it is a great stepping-stone into supporting BD for junior people.

Highly relevant for C-suite and experienced teams with established networks.

Referrals should be the prime new business source for most businesses

The why, the who and the how of making referrals the cornerstone of your new business strategy. 
 

According to Texas Tech Uni, 82% of B2B buyers never make it as far as doing an internet search when looking for a new vendor, instead relying on their networks for recommendations, so if you rely on traditional marketing methods you are only targeting 18% of available budget unless you adopt a systematic referral strategy.
