Your Best Clients Want to Refer You
(Here's What's Really Stopping Them)
Remember the last time a client said "Oh! I know someone perfect for you!" and your heart did that little hopeful jump?
Here's what we see happen often with service providers like you - other people may genuinely want to refer your services to others, but without it being a no-brainer, easy process, they put it off and/or just forget to do it entirely.
This leaves you:
- Waiting for introductions that never happen
- Manually following up until it feels awkward
- Missing out on what you know can be an easy source of new business
Here's the thing: getting consistent referrals doesn't require becoming the "pushy" person nobody wants to talk to.
Here's 3 Actionable Steps you can take to start to take today to convert your past connections into money:
Create a win-win referral reward that feels generous. People are more likely to refer if they get something too!
Letting automation handle the follow-up dance. Set up a simple sequence that asks for the referral a few times over 2 weeks
Set up a referral engine that automatically asks current clients for a referral! This way there will be several touch points reminding them to send someone your way!
Imagine checking your messages to find warm referrals waiting for you - instead of wondering whether to send that "just checking in" text.
Remember, referrals are quicker to buy and often buy more than any other type of new client. Putting some concentrated effort to make it as easy as possible to get referrals will go a long way!
Here’s to more referrals with less stress! 🚀
