--00000000000032339305eff41b12 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Thank you Beth for your leadership and a detailed report. @Timothy Thomas 75% of the Waterloo business is dependent on referral marketing. We need to create a Standard Operating Procedure for any new referral partners brought in and how to meet/exceed the expectation of this partner based on multiple parameters. In my weekly meeting, Ashley brought up the increased volume of SLI coming out of this market and we need to take action immediately. Let me know where I can help.
