What ISOmatrix is doing to earn referrals -- Most business managers don't rely on just a web search to finalize selection decisions on vendors. They get an old-fashion referral from a trusted source. This is particularly true when choosing consultants. So, how does a business get more referrals from referral partners? First, you need a "Referral Network Plan". This is how ours works at ISOmatrix.
- Perform well enough to earn the referrals (obvious)
- Create additional value for the referral partner (at no cost to partner)
- Make the long-term benefits of the referral a mutual win-win

Press Releases and Announcements
-
When one of our client companies achieves certification to a standard, it is a huge milestone. That milestone needs to be announced to customers, potential customers, and suppliers. ISOmatrix has developed a Press Release and Customer/Supplier announcement program that is free to our clients and gets the word out fast to industry and your Customers. We write it and help deliver the message to both a massive industry audience and a very select target audience. We think this adds great value above and beyond our QMS actions and differentiates our service.
Here is an example for our client company 3D-Cam: http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Isomatrix-Inc-3D-Cam-950549.html

Logo Exchange - Search Engine Optimization
-
The latest focus of SEO is inbound links. The more relevant a link, the more weight Google and Yahoo place on it. Authority publications that link to your site from a press release is very strong. To add to that, trading website links with ISOmatrix makes for a valuable industry cross linkage. We are asking all of our clients to add the "QMS developed by ISOmatrix" logo to their website and we install their logo-link on ours.
The logo appears on client sites as:

Supplier Development Program
-
We want to work with our clients' suppliers, but we need a personal introduction to build the trust to make it happen. It benefits our clients when their suppliers integrate an ISOmatrix QMS so the benefit is a mutual win-win. When entire supply chain speaks the same Quality Language interactions between vendor and customer are streamlined, and greater efficiencies are attained. This alone can make a referral to ISOmatrix pay long-term financial dividends for our referral partner.
