No Fear of Referrals

| People are often worried about being put in an uncomfortable situation in which someone they just met is asking them for a business referral -- particularly if their new acquaintance is a salesman asking for a referral to one of their friends who could be a potential client. |

What’s Better Than “Word-of-Mouth”?
| |
| You will agree there is nothing better than to get a word-of-mouth referral from a satisfied customer or client. These leads usually come to you at no cost and with little or no effort on your part. A referred prospect is easier to please and quicker close. Referral leads generally buy more and will often refer you to another prospect in the future. |

Be Referable
| |
| We have all heard the old saying, "it's not what you know, it's who you know." Well, there is a lot to be said about that. Look back on the business you have won recently.

Can you retain this customer?
| |
| Do you really look at this as a consideration when developing your marketing segments and the value you place on acquiring a certain type of customer? Most of us look at repeat and referral strategies across the board for every segment. Consider the segment or that type of customer that you acquire that always seems to give you the benefit of the doubt or refer business to you.

How to start an avalanche of referrals
| |
| There is no better new customer than a referral from a happy customer.
But most businesses don't have a plan in place to generate referrals. They simply take them as they come without giving much thought to how they might be able to create a steady stream of referral business.
Before you can do that however, it's important to understand the following referral truth.
Satisfied customers do not send referrals in droves. The referral avalanche comes from clients and customers who are enthusiastic, inspired and awed from their experience with you.
Bottom line: Being good ain't good enough if you want tons of referrals. If you continue to simply meet your customer's expectations, your referral rate won't change.
So what can you do to have your customer rave about you?

Are You Referral Worthy?
| |
| Referral business is the least expensive way to win new customers. In addition, it has the highest possible leverage and the best potential payoff. Most importantly, a prospect whose name you received through a referral is much more likely to listen to your pitch and less likely to seek out other sources to meet his or her needs. You come to them with a built in reference. |
