Welcome to TyTheCardGuy.com!
Pictured above, Ty the Card Guy shares a few ideas with two other attendees at a Charlotte, NC networking event on April 10th, 2008.
Welcome to my site! My name is Tyrone Turner, also known as "Ty The Card Guy".
A little bit about me...What Ty the Card Guy does is help sole proprietors and home-based entrepreneurs triple the amount of referrals that they are currently getting with very little effort.
This is done by teaching them about certain skills, tools, and strategies, that are customized to that individual's situation.
What qualifies me to be able to consult solopreneurs and start-ups on how to get more referrals for their busienss? Well, I am one of the owners of a networking event and training company called Grassroots Business Network, LLC.
Grassroots Business Network, LLC has a great track-record for helping solopreneurs and micro business owners connect the dots by introducing them to qualified leads and resources that help them grow their business. My partners and I have a combined experience of more than 20 years in the networking business.
I have been in direct sales for about 15 years now, and have worked in Corporate America for more than 22 years. In Corporate America, I have been the director of business development in two major litigation support companies, and I am currently an operations manager for an outsourcing company where I manage 35 people and consistently exceed my revenue forecasts.
The things that I've learned over the years have served me very, very well in Corporate America and my private business endeavors, and I'm looking forward to sharing what I know with others.
I will be releasing my first book on getting noticed and getting more referrals in 2009.
People always ask me why I use the moniker Ty the Card Guy. Well, in the late 90s, I met a gentleman named Randy Rosler that taught me that sending out cards is a great way to get meetings and to follow-up with people.
As the years went by, I realized that the top salesman in the world, according to The Guinness Book of World Records, Joe Girard, sent greeting cards to all of his contacts each month and that is what got him to become the world record holder for twelve (12) consecutive years.
Who am I second guess Joe Girard? So, I do and highly recommend that others do what Joe Girard did, but I save time, energy and money by using a new, amazing technology that allows me to do the same thing, but save time, energy, and money while doing it.

Here is something that a lot of business owners and sales professionals overlook...
When it comes to increasing sales, an oftentimes overlooked resource is your existing customers. They are extremely valuable, and you must show them that you appreciate their business. It is much easier to keep a customer rather than go out and acquire a new one. Also, a satisfied customer can be an excellent source for referrals.
Here are some statistics that I got from one of my mentors, Jordan Adler, who is a successful home-based entrepreneur and he also chairs a Business Network International (BNI) chapter in Arizona:- 79% of all leads generated at a trade show [or networking event] aren't followed up.
- The average company lost 50% of its customers every 5 years...the cost of replacing them is 6 to 7 times more expensive than it was to acquire them.
- 5% increase in customer loyalty will yield 20%-80% to our bottom line profit...Much wiser to spend money on customer retention than acquisition.
- For every month that we don't contact or communicate with our client, we lose 10% of our influence.
- 82% of all homeowners can't tell you the name of their realtor if they bought their home more than two years ago.
- Just saying thank you to our clients...particularly new clients even with only a phone call to do nothing more than saying thank you...(do not try to sell on this call), will increase your business by 17%
- 95% of our customers will purchase from a competitor even if you provide a great service on an impulse - unless you follow-up with them on a regular basis.
Take time to look over the pages on this site. Perhaps you'll find something that you can use to grow your business.

Also, if you'd like to know more about the the automated referral-getting system that I used to grow my business, send a blank e-mail to referralmovie@getresponse.com. You'll be given a link to watch a 10-minute movie that will tell you all about the system that I use.
