As additional value added services, I have (2) two new areas to both the CharlotteBizOwners.com and LinkedInCharlotte.com websites. Those services are the "Instant Referral and Discount Button" programs.

These programs will be very beneficial to you. Both of these websites are starting to see high traffic.

RULES-

FIRST PROGRAM:"The Instant Referral program"-

There are 2 parts to the "Instant Referral" program.

** The first part is geared towards the "buyer" part of each referral. Many times I am asked "Rod, are there any xyz type of companies in our group?" or " What was the name of the one company that did whatever?". Now that we have an OFFICIAL forum for referrals, I will recommend those companies on the list when I am asked those questions.

** The second part of the "Instant Referral" program involves the "seller" side of each referral. This is the actual list that will reside on both the "CharlotteBizOwners.com and LinkedInCharlotte.com websites. Individuals looking for products or services will click on the button that is prominently featured on the front page of BOTH WEBSITES and will go to the "referral" page. This is our referral list for product & services providers. From there, the individual will click on the link & will go to your website or will call your phone number associated with a given need that they may have.


RULES FOR THE INSTANT REFERRAL PROGRAM INCLUDE...

a) To have your company on the referral list (with no contact name, phone number or link to your website) is free.
b) To get a your company placed on the referral list with contact name, phone number or link to your website it requires 1 of 2 different options.

Those options include.....

1) Being a PAID member of www.LinkedInCharlotte.com group.
2) Being a current or past sponsor of the group. (In the past year)

* Your company can be removed from the list if you are not good about calling the leads (within 2 days is preferrable).
* For now, ALL PAID MEMBERS of www.LinkedInCharlotte.com will be placed on both websites (unless you don't want that). The other website is the www.CharlotteBizOwners.com website.
* Your order on the list is determined by if you have been a sponsor (go to the top instantly) and length of time as a member. Longer the member, then higher on the list.
SET UP- To setup on this program provide me with a maximum of "100 charactor message" to be used. Please provide company name to be used, URL link address, phone number and brief description.


RULES FOR THE DISCOUNT BUTTON PROGRAM INCLUDE...

The discount button program is the button on the upper-left side of the front page of both the CharlotteBizOwners.com and LinkedInCharlotte.com websites. This button takes the individual to a page that contains buttons for those members that would like to offer a DISCOUNT and that has meet the requirements of the program.

Anyone that has attained 1 of these requirements, get into the discount program for FREE.

So if you are part of the referral program then you are automatically part of the discount program and visa versa.

This discounts page is geared towards offering discounts of your products/services to group members and/or the public (you determine). So, if you are a PAID member of LinkedIn Charlotte you can add a discount button for FREE to both websites.

SET UP- All you have to have to do to use the discount program, is provide me with a small gif or Jpeg picture and a "30 charactor or under line description" to be used. It is best to see how it currently being done with name, phone, and promotion.
