Tribe! Your Referral Source
September 2005, Issue #1

Greetings!

"When you get a referral, treat it like gold. One third-party endorsement is worth a hundred presentations, if you know what you're doing." -- Jeffrey Gitomer, The Sales Bible

Welcome to the Tribe! The Tribe! newsletter is your source for getting things done. This newsletter will offer you a forum for fulfilling services you need through the best possible way -- referral. Every month, we will post a "need's list", containing the needs of folks within the Tribe! network. Looking for a referral on an attorney? A realtor? Maybe you're looking for a better price on your office supplies? If you know of anyone who can fulfill a need on the list, simply respond to the newsletter and help someone out. Tribe! will pass the referral along and you get a chance to be one out of three referral-makers to receive free advertising in the next month's newsletter.

    If given a choice, how do you typically pick a doctor, a new place to eat, or a place to vacation? Isn't it often on referral? In a world where 100 cold calls will bring you a single sale, doesn't it make more sense to get solid advice, based on the experience of someone you trust? This is what Tribe! will do for you. If you are looking for a particular service or product, write us and we will put it out to our subscribers. Chances are, somebody knows someone who can help!
