BforB members can get access to an incredible amount of expertise. The vast pool of contacts through your fellow members will not only introduce you but also recommend you to their network which is priceless. We believe that recommendations are 85% more reliable than cold calling.
We can help you sustainably grow your business with over 15 years’ experience in delivering successful referral marketing campaigns in the UK.
As a member of BforB, you will have access to an exclusive referral marketing group that are actively on the lookout for new business, contacts and expertise to help you and your business grow. This includes:
Access to meetings:
It is like meeting your business representatives and marketing or sales team. The meetings are used as your opportunity to brief your group to new success stories, achievements and opportunities you are working with or plan to work with.
Social events:
Social events are also organised to bring members together and enhance alliances between members regionally and nationally. This also includes an annual awards dinner which celebrates best practice across the network.
Market sector exclusivity:
Within each group you will be the only member, or guest, specialising in your business sector. Therefore, you will be the only lawyer, plasterer, web designer, or dog walker in your group.
Member Development Programmes:
We want to help you become a successful referral marketer, and have therefore created a host of member development programmes including the proprietary BforB Referral Academy. This new online learning platform is focussed on increasing knowledge, skills and habitual behaviours to support members in getting more out of their experience with BforB.
BforB profile:
Members get a complimentary member profile on our web site. This will give you an opportunity to introduce yourself to the wider community that our website attracts. An additional avenue of winning potential referrals and introductions through BforB.
Referral tracking:
The leadership executive team will help keep track of the referrals being passed to understand where additional support may be required.
What makes BforB different?
We are the UK’s hardest working business network. We believe in creating the best possible environment to develop strong, long lasting cooperative business relationships that result in quality new business leads and referrals.
Our culture
BforB meetings are friendly and welcoming, yet focussed on the passing of quality referrals. Our members believe in developing strategic alliances and therefore want to pass quality leads between the group, rather than be forced to pass poor quality introductions.
Our innovation
We are constantly assessing how we can add value to our members’ experience of referral marketing. From the first BforB meeting, to the Referral Academy launched in 2016 and new projects planned, the network has always looked to push the boundaries of referral marketing.
