The Caerusnet Facilitated Referral Team System was developed in 2008 by social entrepreneur, Steven Zyskowski, expressing his burning desire to help local small business professionals and service providers join and/or start their own referral passing teams that are both fun and profitable.

Every Caerusnet team is run by a facilitator who is using the Caerusnet Referral Team System (CRTS) as their guiding principles. With instant, ongoing access to the Caerusnet copyrighted materials and know how, the facilitator runs the meetings, delivers education to the team to help them Master the Art of Referrals, sets the meeting agenda and follows up with visitors. The members are asked to learn how to consistently pass referrals and invite other professionals to visit the team so everyone can benefit.  The concept of “help enough people get what they want and you will have what you want” is a motto we live by.

Caerusnet has developed a series of guiding principles and commonly used strategies for growing referral teams and helping the local business community strengthen by referral.  The facilitator & the members of any given team are private partners working together to build a strong referral community. Members are never asked to be officers, chair special committees or attend additional required training.  Facilitators also have virtually complete freedom to run their teams in a way they believe, based on their personal experiences, will make it successful.

Being a private member of a local Caerusnet Facilitated small business referral team is a wise investment of precious face-to-face marketing time.   In fact, our members have benefited by the  tens of thousands of referrals the Caerusnet system has helped them produce!  The most common feedback we here is “I wish I would have known about Caerusnet years ago!”

• Caerusnet offers private, membership-only team meetings in multiple formats:  100% Online team meetings with quarterly in-person mixers, Hybrid teams that offer both online and in-person, and traditional in-person teams that do not meet online (when available).
