Someone asked me - why do I need to use Referron when I have Blinq

Blinq - Purpose - to exchange contact details - ands store data about your interactions with your contacts

Referron - Purpose: Turn Contacts into Connections, Referrals, Opportunities and Community

You’ve been using Blinq successfully, and I wouldn’t suggest replacing it just because another digital business card exists.

The question isn’t whether Blinq is good. It is.

The question is whether you want your network to become more valuable over time.

• Blinq is excellent at sharing who you are.
• Referron is designed to help people discover who you know, who can help them, and who they can help.

With Blinq, I can give you my details.

With Referron, I can give you my details, introduce you to someone in my network, refer business to you, track opportunities, invite you into communities, and help you build meaningful relationships long after we’ve met.

Think of it this way:

Blinq = Digital Business Card

LinkedIn = Professional Profile

Referron = Relationship Activation Platform

The goal isn’t to replace Blinq.

Many people will use both.

The real question is:

“Which app will I still be using six months after I met someone?”

If all you need is a digital business card, Blinq does a great job.

If you want referrals, warm introductions, collaboration, community, and a way to activate your network, that’s where Referron comes in.

Referron is built around a simple idea:

Your network is only valuable when it works for everyone in it.

That’s why we focus on the 5 Cs:

Connection. Collaboration. Contribution. Continuity. Community.

Because opportunities don’t come from business cards.

Opportunities come from trusted relationships - and there is nothing better for building a relationship than having someone a warm introduction from someone you know like and trust on your network !
