According to Misner, business people who consistently give and receive referral business are better suited to endure poor business climates than those who don't.

Why word of mouth marketing works to buffer a business in harder times is really common sense," Misner says, but that doesn't mean everybody is good at it or involved in it. Fact is, when times are tough, referral marketing may be the only affordable way to go. And it is probably the most efficient."
