The Ideal Referral Guide™

The Ideal Referral Guide™ is a tool we created for business development professionals who leverage relationships for more referrals.

The Problem:

You can go to networking event after networking event and never get any referrals. What we’ve found is that there are three key ways to increase referrals:

  1. Provide value first. Help first. Zig Ziglar said, “You can have anything you want in life as long as you help enough other people get what they want.” We think it’s like, “The more you help others, the more they help you.” What goes around comes around, so help others first. Eventually you’ll do it because you like helping other, not just to get something in return.
  2. People need to know HOW to refer you. That means they need to know WHAT you do, HOW you do it, WHO you want to talk with, and WHAT questions to ask to find out if the person is a good prospect for you.
  3. Ask for the referral. Many people don’t ask, so they don’t receive. Other people aren’t just waiting to do something for you – they often need to be prompted.

The Solution:

The Ideal Referral Guide™ is the tool that addresses #2 above. It provides all of the critical information that someone needs to make a good referral for you. After years of selling and working with other sales professionals, we crafted this tool for all of the referral groups and networking clubs out there – and found that people love it. People ask for it when they see it because they recognize how powerful it is to have a concise, attractive, well thought-out tool to give to their “sales team” of referrers.

How to Use It:

It’s a Word file (.docx) that has editable text blocks. The graphics are embedded in the document so that the framework stays in place even if the text blocks change.
