Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for providing referral management are disclosed. An example method includes receiving a request message from a consumer device of a first member, the request message identifying a service type, determining a group of members that are trusted connections of the first member, determining a subset of the trusted connections that includes trusted connections that have experience with the service type, transmitting a referral request message to consumer devices associated with the trusted connections of the subset, receiving a referral response message including an identifier of a provider of the requested service type from at least one of the client devices that received the referral request message, and transmitting a request response message to the consumer device of the first member including the identifier of the provider.
