Welcome & Thanks!

I’m Bryan Durkin, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last 25+ years in business, it’s that referrals are the lifeblood of a predictable, sustainable company.

I’ve been a sales guy since the age of 10 - pulling a wagon full of Hallmark cards through my neighborhood and later learning that a little hay in a wheelbarrow could boost egg sales by 30%.

That was marketing. I didn’t know it then, but I do now.

Since then, I’ve helped build multimillion-dollar tech deals, sold over $350 million in direct revenue, and coached hundreds of service businesses and entrepreneurs to stop relying on broken advertising promises and start building something more powerful - a true referral system.

My work is rooted in creating predictable growth by combining real-world outreach with human powered AI, automation, and authentic relationship-building that doesn’t feel like marketing.

Whether you’ve heard me on the Driveway Marketing Podcast, read Stuck on First, or worked with our MVP Team Pro crew, you’ll know this: I’m direct, I don’t do “shiny object” BS, and I’m obsessed with helping everyday business owners create referral networks that actually work.

The systems I’ve built inside Referral Team Pro didn’t come from theory—they came from years of wins, losses, handwritten thank-you notes, and conversations that led to life-long clients. I believe in the power of doing something every day to move the needle. And more than anything, I believe that the businesses who commit to building a referral-first strategy will be the ones who stop guessing—and start growing.
