Best Referral Partners Explained

Updated 2026-07-09 · Member

Best Referral Partners is a ranked list of the people in your network you interact with most, based on how often you meet in person and message each other. It doesn't track actual referrals sent or received, that's reported separately through Impact.

Best Referral Partners is a ranked list, found in Your Network, that surfaces the people you interact with most. It's meant to help you spot your closest working relationships at a glance.

How the ranking works

The ranking is based on activity, specifically, how often you've met in person and how often you message each other. It's essentially an engagement ranking of your closest relationships in the network, not a measure of business outcomes.

Despite the name, Best Referral Partners is not a record of actual business referrals you've sent or received. It reflects how often you interact with someone, not whether real business changed hands.

Where actual referrals get credit

If you want credit for a real referral, a client relationship, or another concrete outcome with someone in your network, report it through Impact, the success story feature. That's the place actual outcomes are recorded and, once confirmed, count toward recognition.

Why the name can be confusing

We know the name understandably suggests referral tracking. It's worth being upfront: today, Best Referral Partners measures how often you interact with someone, not whether you've actually referred business to each other. If you're looking for referral credit, Impact is the feature you want.
