Q: How much does Referral Key cost?
A: Referral Key is an inexpensive monthly subscription based
service. You can try the service for free by joining as a Basic member. Basic membership has limited
functionality and is intended to familiarize you with the program and
its features. Basic members can set up their profile, send
invitations to associates to exchange referrals and can receive up to
3 referrals. Silver Key Membership is just $9.95 per month and allows you
to send and receive unlimited referrals, track your referrals to
increase reciprocity and allows consumers to rate the quality of your
services to build your credibility. Gold Key membership is $19.95 per
month. Gold Key members enjoy all the benefits of Silver Key membership. In
addition, you can expand your professional network by tapping into your associatership features, check out Pricing and Benefits.

Q: What happens when I send an invitation to an associate to exchange referrals?
A: Associates receive a personalized email invitation from
you asking them if they would like to accept your invitation to
exchange referrals with you. Since many of the people you send
invitations to know and trust you, there is a strong likelihood they
will accept your invitations. The invitation sends a clear message
that you are serious about exchanging referrals with your associate,
and that help strengthen and solidify your bond with them. Once a
referral associate accepts your invitation to exchange referrals, they
are walked through a brief overview and are able to exchange referrals
with you in just minutes. When the opportunity arises to refer
business, the user simply logs on, includes a brief note about the
referral, provides the referrals contact information, and Referral Key
takes care of the rest by emailing the contact information of the
person being referred and logging the referral in both the sender's
and recipient's account. The result is a web-enabled closed loop where
you now have a timely, qualified lead from a trusted associate and a
much higher probability of converting these leads into actual revenue.
Every step, from initiating a referral to following up is
automatically tracked with our service.
