AdvisorEngine CRM has a referral tracking system that allows you to log which Person in your database referred another Record’s business to your firm. When diligently entered, this allows you to see who has been most useful in providing your firm with potential business.

Note that these are Record-level referrals, which are different than Opportunity referrals.
