Referral Expo 2008

Strategic Marketing Ideas in a Shrinking Economy...

15 World-Class Marketing Experts Share
Their Best Referral Strategies...

The economy is shrinking and it's getting harder even to maintain sales, let alone grow them.  The old methods of advertising or buying leads just aren't producing results any more.

In times like these, building relationships and generating referrals are the keys to success.  But frankly, most professionals I know aren't very successful at getting those referrals.  And while it used to be disappointing, now it's becoming a matter of survival.

That's why I've put together a line-up of some of the best and brightest referral marketing experts in the world to share exactly how to successfully generate referrals.  Some of the names you've heard of, but I've been doing my research and I've uncovered a number of experts who many people haven't even heard of!  My goal is to get as many new, innovative ideas in your hands as possible.

This is one event you don't want to miss!Michael Beck
