Who should be sending you clients
Who you should be sending clients to
Ranked by what starts the job, not by who sounds close to your trade. When something happens that makes people need apparel and clothing companies, who else gets a call that same week?
The same list, turned around. Give first and the rest follows.
Match strength is how much of your work starts from the same event as theirs, scored out of 100. Higher means you are more often called into the same job in the same week.

Let us be straight with you. For apparel and clothing companies, a weekly referral group is not the best pick. Your partners gather in professional groups instead, so spend your time there. We would rather say that than sell you a seat you do not need.
These rooms meet on real dates. We will send you the next ones for your area. Send me the dates ↑
