    Episode 61: Shades of Referrals

    Send us a text We recorded our 61st episode on Wednesday, November 12, 2025 focusing a bit deeper on referrals, referral marketing, and shades of referrals. From the "Here's a phone number to call" to "this is a closed deal, they are ready to pay you", there are many shades of referrals. What are the differences? The amount of time and effort for the sales person to close the deal and the depth and strength of the relationship between the three parties involved in a referral. Miles and I met at a networking event (in 2012!) and we've passed dozens (hundreds?) of referrals worth tens of thousands of dollars. Enjoy!
