Millennials were raised in the digital age and are now accustomed to searching solely online. Referrals mean very little to Gen Y.
Gen Z is being raised with 100% digital surroundings. All purchase power and decisions are made online. Referrals mean NOTHING to this generation.
Raleigh, North Carolina is a melting pot state; although referrals and word-of-mouth is a trusted source, most folks who live in Raleigh, Wake Forest, Cary, Knightdale, or Fuquay Varina are new to North Carolina and don't have the trusted source in which to gain a referral.
