About Referral Institute

The Referral Institute specialises in helping businesses to increase sales by referral or personal recommendation. Please contact: team@referralinstitute.co.uk for more information.

What happens when you use Referral Institute?
After people work with the Referral Institute they increase their results from sales gained from personally recommended business. A client we worked with went from 17 out over 35 regions in their UK sales rankings to holding 1st or 2nd place consistently for the last 12 months from applying the proven business models we provide at Referral Institute.

What does Referral Institute actually do?
We are blessed in this country with exceptional standard of sales training companies whose focus is to teach business professionals how to sell or pitch all supposing your sales people have someone to sell to.......our only area of focus is to teach business professionals how to get in front of the right people by personal introduction. We do this all over Britain as public courses and "In House".

What does Sarah Owen actually do?!
I own the UK franchise for this American Franchise Training Company. The company was founded by Dr Ivan Misner who is one of the world's top experts on networking and referral marketing. I share Dr Misner's passion in this topic and have studied and worked in this specialist area for over 5 years taking two business projects to top ranked national positions in that period. I believe applied knowledge is powerful and in my two former careers I reached the highest qualification levels as a jeweller and silversmith and in the financial services industry.

Yes but what does she really do?!
My role in the company is to lead the UK expansion and to source and sell regional franchises and then love the franchisees to death! I am also lucky enough that clients still ask for me to personally train and consult despite a range of outstanding people being available on our team! We have helped hundreds of businesses since our launch in May 2005 in Britain and our success is entirely due to the content of the material which is truly unique in the market place.

Why does she do it?
With a father who was a professional cricketer and a grandfather who was a professional footballer and a mother who was an international banker I love sport and business in that order! I have an eight year old son Nicholas who provides my main passion and purpose in life. He tells me I can be distracted by: a good bottle of chablis; a trip to pretty much anywhere in the US (which is where I would live if Bristol wasn't so wonderful); a holiday in Italy; a good book. Spouse - position vacant.......

Hot off the press
This summer will see the launch of Referrals For Life. There are three key elements to the success of our clients.

Outstanding quality of content - the first time in Europe business professionals can access top class proven business models, strategy and tracking tools to manage their referral marketing success.

Remaining connected with the content - of course we provide coaching to support all our training courses, then our clients started to tell us that these are new habits, fresh business disciplines and some of the concepts are even counter intuitive. Almost all of our clients come on more than one course (there is a full range to support different business needs and budgets) and some use the same courses on a repeat basis because they recognise the importance of maintaining a deep connection with the content at Referral Institute.

Our clients started to tell us that networking isn't a solo sport - they need others so they need somewhere to bring people in their network to get them trained too.
And so was born Referrals For Life. An education community based entirely on increasing your results through referral marketing. Having successfully launched these education communities in the States the programme is now being rolled out in the United Kingdom.
I can't say more than this yet........but you will find out more information when the Referrals For Life Club launches on ecademy shortly.
If you are serious about referral marketing you may also want to look out too for Relate2Profit - a CRM system which is transforming the way our clients are managing their contact data.
