What's a best practice for motivating your employees to refer their friends? What have you tried that leads to getting great referrals? What incentives are you offering? Are you using any tools?

I have often wondered why companies don't turn their entire employee base into a sales org? Just because you are in accounting it's not your job to grow revenues?

Seems to me out should be possible to offer every employee the same sales commission cut as any dedicated sales person and provide basic training on selling points of your product. I think this easy some companies may find some of their greatest sales people don't even work in sales.
