Over the last couple of months, we’ve seen a number young small business owners join Referral Key.
We often don’t think of high schoolers or even college students as being small business owners but you’d be surprised just how entrepreneurial and motivated the younger generation is. At a time when unemployed professionals are taking jobs that in more prosperous times, would have gone to young adults; many young adults are forced to think outside the box.
Lawn mowing, caddying, snow shoveling, dock-hands, and even web design are just a few referral based jobs that require good word-of-mouth and very little capital.
Young adults, who take an entrepreneurial approach to their financial future, may be walking away with more than just a little spending money. They are learning the fundamentals of good business; relationship building, developing a reputation, and following through.
Good referral marketing practices are likely to help you throughout life whether your landing the biggest contract of your life or carrying a second bag to the green.
