Just 20 months since its inception, 18 member group tops the $5.6 Million Milestone

MIDDLETON, WI – Growth By Referral, Inc (GBR) an independent networking group of local professionals, announced today that its members had passed a total of 5.6 million dollars in successful business referrals. Over the last 20 months, the group members have exchanged over four-hundred qualified business leads with truly impressive results.
“It’s nice to know that there are seventeen other business professionals handing out your business cards and pointing clients in your direction when they hear a need for your services”, reflected Scott Petersburg of Petersburg Insurance in Middleton and President of GBR Inc.  “We have a diverse group which brings in a great cross-section of prospects, the numbers speak for themselves”, adds Petersburg.

In order to maximize the number of referrals for each member, the organization focuses on recruiting professionals from diverse business disciplines. Additionally, to help its members find out more about each other, GBR has built a Web site (www.gbrinc.org) to house biographies, operational information, and recent referral statistics.

GBR members meet every Tuesday morning at 7:45am in the downstairs dining room of the Bavaria Family Restaurant in Middleton, WI. ‘Growth By Referral’ is accepting new membership applications from local professionals of various business disciplines and those wanting more information are encouraged to attend a weekly meeting to see how things are structured. By encouraging a group member from each discipline to join, GBR maximizes the amount of leads presented to its members, while deepening the pool of resources available to them.  GBR only allows one member per profession in order to maintain a high quality referral group.
