Software Shortlist is pleased to announce the launch of its Referral Partner Program.
This program encourages trusted advisors to introduce Software Shortlist to clients & contacts who need software to improve their business. Typical examples are business consultants, accountants, lawyers, business brokers, & IT consultants.
We see this as a win-win-win arrangement: your clients & contacts get free assistance finding the right software, we get a stream of quality opportunities, and you get a 25% commission on all revenue we earn from referrals.
All referrals are contacted by telephone by a member of the Software Shortlist team to explain how our software matching service works. After confirming they are willing to proceed, we clarify their software requirements and business context. They are then matched with up to 3 relevant solution providers from our extensive database, and introduced so they can continue the discussion and evaluation in detail.

Some interesting insights we came across recently from Dr Tom McKaskill, an expert on high growth businesses.
“Research into high growth businesses has shown that they typically spend more on selling than marketing, focus on creating excellent customer experiences and generate a significant part of their new sales through referrals. (…) The lesson here is obvious – to what extent are you working your current customer base and what is the untapped potential under your nose?”
He also points out the important role of relevant technologies – e.g. customer relationship management (CRM) software, sales force automation, lead tracking systems, etc – in enabling you to grow revenues and achieve long term success:
“A focused approach to revenue generation which examines systems and processes in marketing and sales will almost certainly uncover areas where improvements can be made. Many smaller businesses simply do not take advantage of the productivity tools now available for sales force management, customer relations management, or lead tracking, yet significant increases in sales force productivity can be gained with the application of technology.”
If you’re looking to maximise the growth prospects of your business, check out the many available solutions in our CRM directory. You’ll quickly get a sense of what’s available on the market – there’s no shortage of choice, that’s for sure! When you’re ready to narrow down your options to a relevant shortlist, why not submit your CRM requirements via our Get A Shortlist service? We’ll call you to discuss your needs and then match you up with 3 relevant providers. It’s a convenient and free service.
