FEATURE
ARTICLE – GROWING FROM REFERRAL
BUSINESS |
|
|
|
|
Most business owners and sales
professionals I know HATE making cold
calls. Many of them don't even
like making warm calls. If the
thought of picking up the phone sends
shivers up your spine or inspires you to
clean off your desk instead, you need to
read this.
One of the fastest and easiest ways to
grow your business is by having a strong
referral base. Referrals make your life
so much easier.
There are a ton of benefits to a
referral based business including: |
|
Think about it. Don't you hate going to
the phone directory or the internet to find a
provider of a product or service you want or
need? Aren't you relieved when a trusted
colleague or friend says "I know a person who is
great at (or has great)..."?
So
the issue is, how do you become one of those
people that other people tell other people about
(in a good way, of course)?
First you have to ask. I know a lot of
people who are reluctant to ask for referrals.
They don't want to appear needy or desperate or
too 'sales-y'. Do you suffer from that?
Second, you have to train people on how to give
you good referrals. If you don't, they're
likely to hand you a card or give you a name and
number and leave you fending for yourself.
I
have a system that virtually guarantees
you'll increase the referrals that come your
way. I've been working on it for a little
while now and it's almost ready. I can't
wait to share it with you.
Stay tuned.
