  • Must have been issued at Standard or better rates

SalesTipSales Tip - Referrals Success


(1) Teach your clients how to spot people that need you.  Have business cards printed that open up tent-style.  On the inside ask for referrals of people that have experienced one of the following life events:
  • A friend that has recently lost a spouse 
  • A colleage who is selling a business
  • A relative who is planning to retire
  • A family member who is going through a divorce
  • A friend with young children who needs to save for college

(2) After meeting with a new referral, have the following quick conversation:  "I'd like to send Ben a small thank you for introducing me to you. Can you tell me about his interests, hobbies or passions that might help me think of something special for him?"

 

This does two things: It helps create a special gift for the referral source, and it plants the seed for your new client to give you referrals by showing him/her how you celebrate the process.

Thank you for your time and your business!
