Hii Mr. Naji, Could you please elaborate on point no. 3 - systematic referral generating program?

For a small business man, do you really think this is a severe mistake? Regards, Keith.
			                  		
			                  			- Systematic Referral Generating Program

Businesses lose customers naturally by attrition.

A referral program usually gets people who are interested in the offerings, since the referrals are made by family, friends and other people who know the needs of the person that is referred.
