“One relationship in particular was created — and deepened — at FunFerence, nurtured over a few years by the way the connections there are designed, and it led to a $75K contract. In the last 12 months alone, I’ve made roughly $93K from Dames referrals — against a total spend of $1,287 in membership and about $1,000 for my FunFerence ticket. That’s a 40x return — nearly 4,000% ROI. The room pays for itself. Then it keeps paying.”
