outer join similar to Access

Ok fellas, I need your help. I have a crosstab query that I wrote in Access
that lists all my marketers regardless of their referrals. The outer joins
selects all rows from marketer table. Now in SSRS I recreated the same query,
setup the matrix and populated it correctly. Problem is, that if the marketer
had no referrals, their name does not show up. I assumed that the outer join
would take care of that. Do I need to alter the query in some way to treat
nulls as zeros? Its a very simple query but I cannot determine where to put
the conditioning. Many thanks.isnull(numofreferralscolumn, 0) as numofreferralscolumn
in the select would be the easiest way.

like this to get 0 members showing up in some cubes for example
say you got a table that lists OrderTotals.. right?
Select CustomerID, OrderID, OrderTotalA, OrderTotalB From OrderTotals
UNION ALL
Select CustomerID, 0,0,0 From Customers
