The Referral Exchange Troy, Michigan
Meets Wednesdays ยท 7:00am

The people we send
our own clients to.

25 businesses. One seat per trade. When somebody in this room refers you, they are putting their own name on it, in front of everybody else, the following Wednesday.

A referral here comes with someone's reputation behind it.

The meeting works the same way every week: sixty seconds each to make an ask, a real introduction from someone who knows you both, and a public report the following Wednesday.

  1. Each member makes a specific ask

    Every meeting, each member gets sixty seconds to say exactly who they are looking for that week, down to a specific person or situation rather than just a category.

  2. A member makes the introduction

    The introduction comes from a member who already knows both people and is willing to put their own name behind the connection.

  3. The results are read out next week

    At the next meeting, members read out the referrals they gave, any testimonials, and the business that actually closed. Because every referral is reported in front of the group, they get followed up on instead of forgotten.

Eighty minutes, and it starts on time.

Doors at seven for open networking. Two members present their business in depth, everybody else gets sixty seconds, and it is done by 8:20am so you are at your desk before the day starts.

One trade, one seat. Some are still empty.

Nobody in this group competes with anybody else in it. Each trade has one seat, so a category is either filled or open. Here is some of what we are still looking for.
