There’s an old saying in advertising: we buy what we know and we don’t know much.

So, what’s the best way to educate consumers about your product? We’d like to say its advertising, but in truth nothing beats the good old-fashioned personal referral.

The personal referral reigns supreme because of the trust factor. People listen to those they trust when they recommend a brand, product or company to work for. And guess what? Referrals usually reach the right audience. People know their friends and family well, and usually only recommend a job or product if they think it will be a good fit.

Referrals offer the best ROI

When it comes to employee recruiting, 82% of employers rated employee referrals above all other sources for generating the best return on investment (ROI). (Source: CareerBuilder) These high quality leads that come as referrals can help your company reduce the cost per hire, reduce the turnover rate, improve your offer acceptance rate, and generate more profit for your company.
