Give Referrals More Often

Leave a Comment

How often do you give referrals? If you are in small business, I hope the answer is all the time. But it can be hard to give referrals because the opportunity comes around and you don’t recognize it for what it is until the moment is passed. So here are some ways to help yourself. Start by making a list of people who provide you amazing service and / or people you would like to refer. This is a fun list to make because you get to think about all the people who don’t make you crazy, who help you get through your day and help solve your problems. Make sure you have their full contact information somewhere easy to find – your phone is the best but if that’s not an option, put their business card somewhere you can get to it easily.

In a meeting last week the speaker was unable to attend so we each went around and gave our best business tip.  It was interesting that over half of the tips shared were about doing what you say you are going to do.  That seems like such an obvious thing – why was everyone talking about it? Clearly we have a problem. I think it is because people look at that two ways – on the one hand there are people who say they will do something but have no intention of actually doing it.  Those are the people we don’t work with after that first time because you know that’s what’s going on. The other way this happens is people intend to do exactly what theysay  – they will meet that deadline, they will attend the meeting, etc. But, things happen that get in […] Continue reading
