Thank you for considering the Professional Referral Exchange (PRE) licensing program. If you are looking for an opportunity that will offer you flexibility, a proven business model, an established company, excellent support, no employees, great hours, a service that is in-demand, and much more - look no further!

What is PRE?
Quite simply, PRE is a networking organization that helps professionals build their business through the exchange of qualified business referrals. PRE has Chapters across the United States and has spent years developing effective systems for both licensee's and members.

Let's first explore the opportunity from a member's perspective. Once you understand why members (your customers) want and need to join the group, you'll begin to see why this is such a powerful opportunity. Let's face it - not many other businesses are operated and grown by their customers (the members)!

We all know that the one thing all businesses need to survive, and thrive, is customers. Whether they offer a service or sell a product, they all need to find customers. Of course that's true if you are the business owner, but also for many professional positions as well. This includes hundreds of business categories, from real estate professionals to roofing contractors. So how can a professional get more business? The traditional methods have some merits, but with the glut of media ads and tons of junk mail we all receive, these simply aren't generating the results they once did. Not only are they not as effective as joining PRE, they are much more costly. Therefore, many professionals are returning to the tried and true method of "word of mouth" advertising - and that's where PRE enters the picture!

Professional Referral Exchange is a select group of professionals who meet weekly at breakfast or lunch for the exchange of referrals to increase business and make money. There is only one member per Chapter from each business category, so there is no competition. Members act as the sales force for each and every member. Over time, they establish strong relationships, and people want to do business with people that they know, like, and trust. For example, let's say there is a business broker in the group. When they sell a business to a client, they may then refer that client to the lawyer in the group for legal help, the loan officer for financing help, and the payroll specialist, travel coordinator and others!

We all have a large circle of friends, family and business contacts. When members establish relationships with the other group members, they are happy to be able to help their contacts find great business services. It makes them look better to their client because they are helping their customers in other areas.

So for a prospective member, joining PRE is inexpensive and extremely effective. In fact, millions of dollars of business are generated each year from PRE referrals. Since PRE only gives qualified referrals (the person is expecting a call) the ratio of closed business is very high. In fact, members report that over 76% of their referrals close with a sale! When you review some of the testimonials, you'll see that many of the members have made tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands from their PRE referrals.

Why does the system work so well? The secret is in the system that was developed and is taught by PRE. Every Chapter is run following the same general format. Each meeting not only follows a proven model for success, but there are periodic sessions that feature special events and additional training for the members. The system makes the meetings fun and effective, which is why you'll find so many members that have belonged to PRE for years and years.

Members also get exposure in the local media through press releases that detail each week's speaker. In addition, there is a regular flow of guests to the meetings and the members are continually reaching a new audience.

Also, members enjoy a secondary benefit that they don't usually expect, that is, they end up making great contacts for handling their personal business. As a member you get your own personal realtor, banker, and on and on and on! Members have endless stories about another member of the group giving them great deals, special treatment, resolving a problem for them, and so forth. In fact, the following is what a member recently submitted to PRE:

"I've only been a member for 3 months but wanted to let you know how impressed I am! I have received several great referrals, and I have also used a number of the members for my business transactions - and discovered that you get unbelievably great treatment! I was turned down by my bank for refinancing because I own my own business. A PRE member in the lending area jumped in and had me approved in just two days! Membership is worth the personal treatment you get from all the other businesses - and that's not even the main purpose. Thank you!"

Members also experience a great deal of personal growth to benefit their career or their business. They have the opportunity for improving business skills not only through the relationships they build and the training they receive, but also by serving the group as an Officer or Committee Chair.

In addition to all of the benefits we have briefly covered, members also receive a logo embossed business card holder, pen, membership certificate, member manual, and more.

All these benefits and the membership dues are only $325.00 for the first year and $250.00 per year thereafter (if paid annually). That's not even the price of a cup of coffee per day to dramatically increase business! The membership fee is also a deductible business expense, making it even more attractive.

Even more impressive - PRE offers a money back guarantee to new members! If they follow the guidelines set forth and don't at least generate enough business from referrals to cover their dues, PRE will refund their money. Why? Because as you'll read in the testimonials, dues are trivial in comparison to the amount of business that members will typically generate from the group. It gives the new members peace of mind (and PRE a competitive advantage), but PRE knows that once they are a member it will pay for itself many times over.

A territory consists of approximately one million in population and requires an initial investment of $29,995.00.
