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.

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. How much of it came by referral from someone you know, versus a cold call to a prospect or an inquiry directly to you or through your website?

Three Simple Referral Marketing Strategies
I personally know of several very successful small businesses that don’t spend a dime on advertising? Why? Because they have implemented a referral marketing program that automatically brings in more clients than they need. This article discusses three referral strategies that will help you do the same.
Referral Network Marketing
Referral network marketing might be one of the most underrated marketing strategies in business right now. In an age with twitter and Google Adwords, slick commercial campaigns and YouTube being the norm, people often forget about word of mouth and a simple business card. Having something tangible in someone’s hands has been replaced by “hey, check out my site.” I’m not saying this is a bad thing, far from it, but don’t neglect one tool because the others look so new. Even astronauts carry a hammer (it’s a nice one that cost the taxpayers $25,000, but it’s still a hammer). Referral network marketing is about branding yourself, branding your business, and having your current contacts make leads for you. In short, it’s about looking good enough that people will talk about you to others and spread the word about you and your service. In
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?

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.

Successful Sales Tips for Beginners – Sales Tip #2
Until you determine whether an organization or individual can utilize and benefit from your product &/or service, they are a 'suspect'. You suspect they have a need that your product &/or service will fill. Your responsibility is to ask qualifying questions and listen closely to the answers. Then ask additional questions and continue listening before articulating how your product &/or service will provide value, increase productivity or efficiency. Until qualified, a ‘suspect’ is not a prospect. You cannot begin to even think your product &/or service will provide value without understanding the needs of the suspect. Develop questions providing information allowing you to quickly qualify or disqualify a suspect, avoiding wasted effort and time. If you disqualify a ‘suspect’, quickly shift the conversation (perhaps a referral partner?)
