When someone agrees to give me referrals and asks for a few of my business cards, five miracles have to happen for me to get the referral.
1) They don't lose my card.
2) They have my card with them when them when the topic comes up.
3) They remember to give out my card.
4) The referral doesn't lose my card.
5) The referral actually picks up the phone and calls.
Could I please collect a quarter for all the times people have told me that they referred someone to me... and I get no call! I'm not saying don't give our my cards. What I am saying is... think about the Five Miracles.
Let me teach you how to refer people to me.
When you meet someone who can benefit from my service, just as you did, simply ask their permission for me to contact them. Then call me with their information and I will follow up with them. There is obviously no cost or obligation on their part and I will never pressure them. My job is to make you look good. Ok... Great. By the way, all referrals to me are rewarded.
