The referral is my responsibility until money has changed hands or I learn that it was not as perfect of a fit as I had originally thought. I keep the pink slip and continue to follow-up with the member I passed it to, checking to see if I need to do more to cement the relationship. In some cases, this means going back to the other party to see if they still have the need and or have other questions. I find it valuable to review my referrals and ask, "could I have used a better method of introduction? Did I read the opportunity correctly?  Do I understand my referral partners business as well as I need to in order to effectively refer?
