Not what I expected and not for me in general
This system is not what I was expecting. There is a bigger focus on building out a pipeline by "establishing relationships" with random people on social media platforms, which is the exact thing I don't want to do. I thought this was going to focus more on leveraging your existing network to build out your pipeline. That's touched on, but as an afterthought.I was introduced to Laura and this course through a webinar, and I was really drawn in when she said she doesn't rely on email and social media. I signed up to get the course and started getting 2-3 emails a day from the company. I also immediately saw their ads on my IG feed, plus was so disheartened to learn that half of the system hinges on spending your time on one of the platforms to boost your profile and cultivate leads. This was genuinely disappointing when I am looking for an alternative to building a list and having to spend lots of time on social media.I'm not saying it's a bad system; I'm just saying that it's not what I was expecting based on the presentation I initially saw. I also don't think it's how I'm personally going to be able to get clients in my industry -- that would be through my existing network, and the final portion with the Asana tutorial was useful for how to maintain connections.

I am a boutique publisher
I am a boutique publisher. I need to network in two directions: (1) with people who can work with or for us as contractors, and (2) with leads to nurture and convert to clients. We use Asana, so Laura's system is great for helping me organize and keep up with my leads. I loved the co-working session I attended and even met a couple of people I want to keep in touch with. I will attend more co-working sessions.

Good Starter Course
I was introduced to the course through a summit I attended. I like the course as a whole, but was confused about the Airtable and Asana portion. Mostly because I don’t use either. I was also confused about why I would contact a connection every 7 days. Still, I think it’s a good course for someone new to building relationships.

Sales made easy
I am a life coach specialized in emotions and as much as I understand the value of social media, I also did not see myself wanting to create and animate a FB group. I knew I wanted to integrate referrals in my sales and marketing, but I had no idea how. That's why I decided to go for the referral code workshop! And I love it! Very simple to implement. It doesn't feel forced and it is just very much aligned with who I am. Making business can be easy and fun, and Laura and Kelly show us how.

Fantastic!
I really enjoyed this training, Laura is such a fantastic teacher. She includes a lot of value and gets straight to the point which I love, there's not a lot of 'fluff' in her presentations like there is with a lot of business coaches, with Laura you just actionable steps.

Simple and effective
I appreciate this simple yet effective way to grow your business! It cuts through the fluff! If it worked for the teacher who built a highly successful business, it will work for you if you follow what is taught. Thanks for teaching this method!

To be quite honest I had higher…
To be quite honest I had higher expectations since someone sent me in this direction to get help and connect with other like minded women. What I have found is there are many clicks within this system and it seems everyone wants to sell something to you instead of really connecting on a level that you can share and have long lasting relationships. I have not really learned anything that I didn't know by working in a mastermind I am already in. It may be great for others and some of the people have been really great and nice however; it just doesn't fit with what I am looking for at the moment.

The system to boost your confidence in relationship marketing!
I am an online business coach who helps Christian women coaches connect with paying clients online without compromising their faith or stressing over tech. Making authentic connections is at the core of who I am and what I do. I have tried many marketing strategies that just didn't feel right for me. The Referral Code is in alignment with exactly how I am focusing on building my business moving forward. I am so grateful that I received the system that I signed up for and the bonus boost of confidence that I needed! Thank you, Laura & Kelly!

The teaching of simple methods to follow up with new connections and case studies from members of The Advance on how they utilize their referrals, relationships, and connections were priceless!

Simple and Effective Relationship Marketing System
I've been in business since 2009 and what I know is relationship and referral marketing are the absolute strongest foundation to building a business. It is the one thing that never changes. Laura and her team have done an excellent job laying out a format to keep track of these relationships and wonderful tips on how to use the system.

The referral code is a great program…
The referral code is a great program that really opens your eyes as to the importance of and how our businesses can grow exponentially on just referrals alone! Laura explains it in detail with kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend it!
