WGU recorded 30K+ referrals [in three years]. Ambassador has been an immense help in optimizing our referral efforts—which were initially all tracked via spreadsheets and a lot of manual labor. We’ve been able to utilize the tool to run several different campaigns for both virtual and in-person events… We love working with the Ambassador tool and the team!
