[CBCS]

I am wanting to get a few references together from my customers (commercial and domestic) to put forward when I put new quotes in etc.

Would anyone like to give me any pointers please?

Just ask them if you can put their name address and phone no. down on a list of referees.

Then references page is just that, a list of references with name, add, phone, (maybe fax/email?) with a short decription maybe.
