on contact@thybusinessguide.com

Hi….
I want to open a company in Serbia
Refer me to someone that will get the job done, fast and professionally.

Step 2: We get back to you with a referral

We will contact you immediately with a couple of options and what price to expect. This way you won’t get overcharged. Also, we will provide you with a special code for which you will get a discount. This code will also let our referral know that if he/she is not acting as they presented us, they will lose a major leading source.

Step 3: You contact the referral

When asking details about the fees, timeline and other aspects for the professional engagement, it is very important to present our referral with the code we give you. We also strongly suggest cc’ing’ our email as we can follow if our referral is professional as he/she promised to be. 

Step 4: You let us know how it went

This is the only thing we ask. By giving us a review of how our referral worked for you, we will be able to know if we should give them more business, or take them from our list. They know that if they get bad reviews from our clients, they won’t get new clients from us. This is how we make sure that they do what they told us they will.
