Palo Alto Software is once again joining John Jantsch of Duct Tape Marketing in a week long push to create 1000 referrals around the world.

Individuals around the globe are invited to make at least one referral to a small business at www.makeareferralweek.com and share the referral details, including information on why they referred a particular business, in the comments section of the Referral Counter Page.

Make a Referral Week is March 8-12 and we join John in challenging you to join in creating 1000 referred leads to 1000 deserving businesses.

There will be articles and great content posted on the Duct Tape Marketing blog all week from David Meerman Scott, author of New Rules of Marketing and PR, Chris Brogan, author of Trust Agents, Guy Kawasaki, author of Reality Check, Palo Alto Software’s own Tim Berry and many others.

Don’t pass up this opportunity to support your local business!

Ready, set, GO!

In addition to all of the fantastic referrals being made on the www.makeareferralweek.com website (There’s over 800 listed!) there are some informative blog posts on the Duct Tape Marketing blog.

And don’t forget to go make your referral. Maybe it’s a local restaurant you suggested to a friend, maybe it’s that contractor you used to remodel your kitchen or even the accountant that took the extra time to really make sure the work was done right and well. Whoever or whatever business it is you think deserves a referral — make it today!
