Or is this something you came up with?
- addaon 4mo agoI am aware of several startups that started this way, and have been involved in some. The quality of the results depends on who you seed the graph with, of course; but I’ve seen it work well. As requested by the original poster, it doesn’t scale.
- jppope 4mo agoNo, this is 100% battle tested. I can't drop numbers but we just did a study at work comparing referrals to non-referrals... its night and day. Referrals are out performing across the board. the only problem is that eventually you run out of referrals
- itronitron 4mo ago>> Referrals are out performing across the board I expect a lot of that is due to the referral being familiar with an already ensconced employee, as well as the referrer being incentivized to ensure the referral's success.
