This means that customers get the best of both worlds; they offer the level of service that can only be found when dealing with a local company whilst punching way above their weight to provide the best prices and most comprehensive range of policies

FREE Insurance Review

Sadly we often see individuals and businesses with inadequate cover to suit their needs.  As businesses grow, the level of insurance required also grows, and individuals may buy new possessions without taking their value into account when renewing their insurance.

This is why we offer a FREE review of all insurance requirements.

The review will include our recommendations to adjust the type and level of insurance to exactly match your current circumstances, ensuring an appropriate level of cover, and our quote when renewal is due.  We can undertake a review at any time; there is no need to wait until your policy is about to expire.

At National Driver Assessment Centres training for road drivers is our remit and the benefits of having your fleet vehicles and company drivers assessed and trained cannot be underestimated, particularly if you have exposure to the effects of the Corporate Manslaughter and Health & Safety (Driving for Work) Acts which have both been revised recently. – please read at www.ndac.uk.com for more information.

Our Skid Car fleet, with twelve skid pans’ across England and Wales is mainly aimed at training the company driver although it can be done as a purely fun exercise – see www.nccc.uk.com for more information. The benefits of having a trained driving force are that you can save money on fuel, get insurance discounts though our scheme with Towergate TLC and mitigate against prosecution should one of your drivers have an accident whilst on company business.

Hayes Architects can advise both purchaser and vendor on all aspects of Town Planning and Building Regulations prior to the purchase or sale of a property and are proud of the close working relationship developed with all the Local Planning Authorities throughout the North West.

This professional advice can include, for example, highlighting any development potential with a prestige property, be it an additional dwelling to the rear or side or replacement dwelling. This might influence the sale price for the property or reduce the amount of land being offered for sale. Depending on the requirements an informal meeting with the local planning authority is usually undertaken with feedback to the client.

This is all in addition to design and planning of new builds or refurbishments with enthusiastic personal attention from Nick, working with your ideas and adding flair, creativity and expertise to the mix.

There are three primary areas that Referral Institute franchisees work with their customers in: Referral Marketing Training, Business Coaching on Referral Marketing and consulting with businesses on their Referral Marketing efforts.

Training

Our training programs both deliver cutting edge referral marketing training and results. One of our signature program, the Pipeline Seminar, actually produces appointments during the training exercise for the participants in the course.

Coaching

Referral Institute Coaching is performed by business coaches that have graduated from the Referral Institute Coach Designation Program. These coaches then work with both individual and corporate clients of the Referral Institute to ensure that the process begun during training continues to create the results clients demand from their referral marketing plans.

Consulting

Our consultants design and implement customized referral marketing plans with corporate clients. Often combining both training and coaching, these consulting efforts tailor the Institute’s systems and knowledge to powerfully synergize with systems and processes already in place at corporations.

The Referral Institute teaches business professionals throughout the world how to harness the power of word-of-mouth marketing to drive sales for fast, sustainable business growth. At present, the organization has over 100 certified trainers operating in nine countries, and the numbers are rapidly growing.

Referral-based, word-of-mouth is the ultimate sales program. Those who train in it are Master Salespeople. There is no exception to this rule. Other marketing tools like traditional advertising, public relations and web sites are certainly of value, particularly if they reinforce the word-of-mouth process. The experienced sales professional recognizes that word-of-mouth is head and shoulders above all other sales and marketing methods. Additionally we offer a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE-we will DOUBLE your current income from business by recommendation or YOUR MONEY BACK.
