Expect Referrals

by | Marketing

Changing your mindset is one of the most powerful things you can do to grow your referral business. Start today to make referrals an expectation of doing business with you.

Going back to Monday’s post, you have to first deserve referrals. Then, make sure you communicate to all of your customers that because you are going to do such good work for them, that part of their responsibility in the relationship is to provide referrals. Give them the tools they need to make it easy for them to give you highly qualified leads.

Be creative in providing incentives for others to give you referrals. You can offer discounts, points, credit towards purchases, etc.

Building a referral system can be a major component of your marketing system. For some small business owners, it is their primary business building strategy.

B2B Marketing Copywriter & Consultant

Hi, I’m Bill Brelsford, author of “The Boutique Advantage: How Small Firms Win Big With Better Messaging.”

I’ve worked in professional services since 1990 – first as a CPA, then as a custom software developer, and since 2006 as a marketing consultant specializing in direct marketing and sales enablement copywriting for professional services.

My career path gives me unique insight into B2B sales. I understand what CFOs question (from my accounting background), how complex projects are sold (from software development), and what content actually moves deals forward (from 19+ years helping professional services firms close premium clients).

My copywriting and consulting focuses exclusively on what I call the Core4 Outcomes: increasing authority, generating leads, driving sales, and improving client retention.
