Referrals and Testimonials

Referrals and testimonials are integral components of the NCBA. As a group, the NCBA nurtures business relationships between members, facilitating trust and confidence in each other’s products and services. This, in turn, results in quality referrals. In order to continue to receive quality referrals and testimonials, each member strives for excellence in the performance of their business.

Referral Slips

Referrals are recorded. When a member has a referral to give, they fill out a small referral slip (carbon copy triplicate):

1. The first part of the slip is given to the person getting the referral
2. The second is given to our Referrals and Attendance Officer
3. The third is kept by person giving the referral for personal record keeping

Contribution

Members are asked to make a contribution at each meeting. These can be any of the following:

1. A referral
2. A testimonial
3. Bring a guest
4. A report of a 1:1 done
5. A tip or piece of advice

These are in order of preference.

1 to 1 Networking

Members are encouraged to have a 1:1 with another member weekly if possible in order to grow a good business relationship and knowledge of each others businesses. This tends to improve the quality and quantity of referrals within the group.
