Join small businesses around the country on March 9-13, 2009 for Make a Referral Week. Help to stimulate the economy by recommending deserving businesses.

On March 9-13, small businesses throughout the country will be joining together for one common goal: to generate 1000 referred leads to 1000 deserving small businesses.

Make a Referral Week is an organized effort by some of the nation’s leading small business experts to utilize the power of referrals to help stimulate the economy. By referring just one small business during the week, you can not only help a deserving business succeed, but also revitalize the nation’s economy.

To participate in the program visit www.MakeAReferralWeek.com and share the details of any referrals you make. Every day during the week, one referral will be selected as the best of the day and both the referrer and the company they referred will receive a gift basket with a number of signed books from notable business experts.

The event will also feature daily education sessions with guests including Ivan Misner, founder of BNI and author Masters of Networking, Bob Burg, author of Endless Referrals and the Go-Giver, Bill Cates, author of Get More Referrals Now, Andy Sernovitz, author of Word of Mouth Marketing, Guy Kawasaki, author of Reality Check, Rich Sloan, author of StartUpNation, Anita Campbell, publisher of Small Business Trends, Scott Allen, author of the Virtual Handshake, John Jantsch, author of Duct Tape Marketing, Scott Ginsberg of Nametag TV, Michael Port, author of the Contrarian Effect and Book Yourself Solid, Susan Solovic Wilson, founder of SBTV.com and Pam Slim, author Escape from Cubicle Nation.
