Who’s behind it?

Hello Referrals is the brainchild of web entrepeneurs Steve Palmer and Chris Saracino. After working together on-and-off for nearly a decade the two were introduced to an Ottawa-based referral marketing group and saw firsthand how the principles of referral marketing can really benefit small businesses.  However, the lack of a structured system for managing referrals limited the group’s potential.

Hello Referrals was born as an “after hours” project to fill what they felt was a untapped niche for a simple and easy-to-use referral marketing tool — one that would enable members of existing networks to get the most of their current referral relationships and take the hassle out of managing your own referral network with a rag-tag self-managed collection of address books, email clients, calendars and to-do lists.
