Getting referrals from your network
If you regularly read my articles you’ll know that I’m a big fan of networking as a way of promoting your business, and you’ll have seen some of the articles where I talk about how to network.
So if you’ve developed (or started) a network of lovely people, I want to talk about how you can encourage people to send you business. Getting referrals has in some ways got a bit of bad reputation, because it’s seen as hard sell, and people don’t respond well to anyone who is trying too hard to sell them something.
But you do need to make the most of your network to bring you customers - otherwise all you’ve got is a bunch of people who are almost friends.
So how do you get referrals?
