I have been a member of PRE for many years and have found it to be the most consistent, reliable source of referrals of any marketing efforts I've employed. The quality of referrals and the percentage of closure have been outstanding, and PRE has directly helped to grow my green catalog business. As a great side benefit, I've made many friends that I enjoy helping. I can provide them referrals that grow their business, and they reciprocate to help me grow mine. It's like having an expanded sales force with all your best interests in mind!

Dear Betty,
I simply wanted to take a moment and say thanks for establishing Professional Referral
Exchange in our part of the country. Since I joined Professional Referral Exchange in
March of 2003, it has been a wonderful journey in business and personal growth. The
many benefits PRE offers to members have truly come to reality in my life.
When I started in PRE I was spending 80% of my time prospecting and 20% of my time
presenting. Within three years of joining, those numbers were reversed. And it is directly
attributable to the results I’ve had as a PRE member. Of course, with more of my time
spend with decision makers instead of trying to get to the decision makers, my sales have
increased significantly. And my ability to help others through a stronger network of business
people to whom I can refer has strengthened my own business in the marketplace.
The resources that PRE offers to members to develop into smarter, more savvy business
people has been an asset to me as well. I am better at communicating with my prospects
and clients. I am better able to operate in business circles where there is a mixture of different
business types. And I know that the friends and acquaintances I’ve developed
through PRE are people who will remain in my life for many years.
The criteria for a qualified referral in PRE truly makes a wonderful difference when I
reach out to a new person or business referral I have received. It is truly a warm call, not
just a tip or a lead. What a wonderful difference!
The chapter meeting is typically a high point in my week. The quality of people I’m
around in the meetings inspire me and keep me sharp. The accountability to each other is
important and helps keep us all on our toes. I’ve learned much about many different types
of businesses because of the broad mix of members in my chapter. And hearing from my
fellow members as weekly featured speakers has been a valuable way to do that.
I would heartily recommend Professional Referral Exchange to any person that wants to
increase business and become more influential in his or her community.

I wanted to let you know how happy I am to have been accepted as a member of this Chapter and how much I appreciate what all the members have done for me. During the months of October, November and December, my phone did not ring and I had very little business, I was considering escrowing my license, but since I joined PRE, my business has blossomed, I have sold some houses and received several referrals to sell more.

Dear Betty:
I want to tell you that Professional Referral Exchange las helped my painting business more than any other form of advertisement or marketing, etc. PRE has been tremendous and a huge blessing. In my first year of membership, my business increased 20 % as a direct result of my membership in PRE. But, frankly, my building of relationships within my PRE Chapter has been great in the business world……not only as a resource to me, but also to my friends and associates.

Good afternoon Betty,
I checked the Ephrata site and our December totals are listed. On a personal note, I received 16 referrals for the year by fellow members, I believe I closed 100% of these referrals, with written sales of over $24,000. The PRE concept works.

It was a little over two years ago, just after graduating from dental school and joining my father’s dental practice, when I first heard of Professional Referral Exchange. Scott, our credit card processing guy, was visiting our office one day for routine credit card machine maintenance and invited me to join him for his weekly PRE meeting. Since the expansion of a dental practice from one doctor to two requires a steady influx of new patients, I had been looking for new ways to market our practice and accepted Scott’s invitation, mostly out of curiosity.
