Referrals are the business practice of leveraging existing partnership connections to generate leads and new clients within an ecosystem. Referral partnerships involves partner organizations recommending a SaaS solution to their network, endorsing its value and functionality and helping close the sale for that partner.

This collaborative approach capitalizes on trust and credibility within the business ecosystem, creating a powerful channel for customer acquisition. Referral programs often incentivize partners for successful recommendations, fostering a symbiotic relationship where both parties benefit from the expansion of clientele. It's a strategic mechanism to amplify market reach and enhance the overall success of B2B SaaS partnerships through trusted endorsements.
