WELCOME TO
Referral Excellence Organization
Where Relationships & Referrals Meet
"REO brings a level of excellence you can't find anywhere else."
--Andrea Warnick, FirstBank
We Believe...
...COMMITMENT is essential. Commitment to attend, commitment to get involved, and commitment to participate.
...in making real CONNECTIONS. Connections that are pre-qualified (not leads), connections generated outside the team (not just team-to-team member).
...your CHARACTER speaks louder than your words. Character is the underpinning of REO’s member requirements.
...in QUALITY not quantity. More isn’t always better so we focus on high caliber members, connections, and resources.
...in CARING. Members caring for each other, their businesses, their families, their well-being.
...in COMMUNITY.
Diverse business professionals coming together to help each other.
When we work together as a community all members rise.
"Working with us opens an enormous opportunity of growth & success"
What We're About and What Makes Us Different...
Fun & Productive Networking Teams
• REO has reasonable team sizes (35 members maximum p/team). This allows you to focus on creating strong relationships in the Networking Community.
Other referral groups build teams beyond time allowances creating chapters that are too big to manage.
• REO has a 3-month trial period for all new members to assure the quality and unity of the Networking Community you joined.
Other referral groups have little to no member quality controls.
Practical and Effective Referral Training
• We never charge for any of our Trainings.
Other referral groups have mandatory training then charge you to attend! Really???
• REO offers you annual Referral Coaching Sessions to increase your ROI at no charge!
Other referral groups have no personal help at all.
• REO's turnover is less than 30% annually!
Other referral groups have 40-60% turnover rates and offer little or no guidance to members. Hmmm...
Real Referrals and Introductions
• "We don’t just pass referrals – We Make Connections!" because REO is NOT a leads group – we ARE a referral organization and a Networking Community. If you want more than "Here use my name..." – then REO is for you!
Other referral groups think more is better but maybe you should be looking at the quality of all those slips of paper.
• REO doesn't mandate referrals each week because you can't mandate quality.
Other referral groups rely on member-to-member business and with “permission to use my name” leads
• REO's average referral is valued at just under $3,000 (and we measure that every month).
• Other referral groups claim they make millions of dollars for their members - by their own statistics it actually averages out to less than $200 p/referral!
Win-win Payment Structure
• REO is a fantastic value! LOW budget friendly monthly payments (credit/debit card required) with NO contracts, NO renewals!!
• NO expensive upfront fees!! REO charges an affordable once in a lifetime registration fee only after your application is accepted.
Other referral groups charge hundreds of dollars up front!
• REO fees are locked in for the life or your membership. That means as long as you're a member, your rates will never increase!
Other referral groups have increase membership fees almost every year for the past decade.
Simple and Automatic Online Marketing
• As a REO member, you're provided a FREE Marketing page for your business
• REO doesn't make members split professional categories - that's good! Members are listed in our online directory with up to 3 classifications.
Other referral groups make members split their professions (to allow room for more members).
Commitment to YOU
• REO succeeds only if you do – your success IS our success!
• No one gives you more value and benefits than REO!
• REO is locally owned. The buck stops right here.
