“As with the other CRS course, the Referral [course] centered around information that I will use in my every day business. The content was broken down well, so that I have already been able to put some changes in place.” - Maggie Stark, CRS, Lafayette, IN

“This course has shifted my direction to really focus on "A" type referrals. They must have proper care and feeding to produce the desired results. Relatives must also be shown how to provide referrals as well.” - Jerry Dobrzyn, CRS, Newark, DE

“My business is already set up to be by referral. This course helped me identify how to narrow my focus to the highest and best use of my time, energy and money.” - Gina Moore, CRS, Tucson, AZ
