Buying Referrals: How Savvy Entrepreneurs Are Generating Them Without Asking!

  (And How You Can Too!)

So ‘what’ type of really bad word of mouth and or mouse, publicity, do you think, a locally based, high powered lending institution would generate.

If they literally threw a highly respected, elderly couple, (on a fixed income),who had lived in this particular town, for over 40 years.

Who have been extremely active, in various local charities and their particular church, out of their house, simply because, they were unable to repay a really small loan they had taken out on their home, less than ten years ago.

And because their health suddenly took a dramatic turn for the worse, and neither one could no longer work outside their home, and between their social security and disability payments, simply wasn’t enough to pay off this extremely small loan.

(Relatively speaking, versus the current value of their home, which they’ve lived in close to 38 years!)

Can you imagine the avalanche of negative publicity, and non ending public outcry, (of unabashed greed at work!) when this story hits the national consciousness, and almost instantly goes viral all over social media?

Who wants that type of tsunami of negative publicity,hanging over, and or associated with their companies image, right?

Five Potential Problems Which Can Potentially Sabotage Even The Most Promising Partnerships!

Have you noticed how some of the biggest, most financially sound businesses in the corporate world, are finally (or wisely) teaming up, to form some potentially profitable partnerships?

Nod your heads cadets, because it’s most certainly true.

Case and point, you’ve got (or at least) you had until very recently, the strategic alliance (aka) joint venture partnerships between, Fedex (Federal Express) and Kinkos printing business.

You’ve got mega successful fast food giants Taco Bell & KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), not only combing their vast resources, but literally doing so out of the same physical location.

Talk about taking resource sharing to a whole other level. But let’s come back down to earth for a second, because in all likelihood, you and I are definitely not going to be forming any type of mega, multi million dollar corporate partnerships with any fortune 500 companies, any time soon, correct?  Bummer!
