People are not going to refer you just because you offer a fee. They will refer you because you've done a great job for them. I suggest having a proactive outbound calling strategy to you best clients. Tell them you are building a referral business and ask them for one or two people they know who you should meet. You can find tips on reaching out to current clients http://www.nomorecoldcalling.com/newsletter0607.html or read my book http://www.nomorecoldcalling.com/book.html There are great referral strategies, but it's the personal touch that makes the difference.

Inquisix members don't offer referrals or names for a fee, that's not our business model. I'm sure there are a few sites out there that do this but Inquisix isn't one of them. Good luck! Michael Ian,
