How To Get Business Referrals

Growing your business through referrals is the best way to grow a business because it's FREE. Here's how to do it:

Step 1) Be EXCELLENT AT YOUR BUSINESS! Provide top-knotch customer service, a top knotch product, and excellent pricing and your business referrals will start rolling in just because your business is far and away better than your competitors.

Step 2) Make a LIST of all your RELIGIOUS and PERSONAL contacts. You should compile a list of at least 250 contacts. If you haven't compiled a list of contacts that high, keep working on it. Give each one on that list a call and ask them for their business. If they don't want your business, ask them for a business referral.

Step 3) Make a LIST of all those who have ever used your BUSINESS. Give them a customer service call to see how everything is going. If they like your service, ask for a business referral. Get the business referral's name and telephone number to set up a meeting. Getting referrals from those already satisfied with your service is the best way of growing your business.

Step 4) Make a list of all those whom you do BUSINESS with. What I mean here is those BUSINESS VENDORS you use. Give them a call and tell them that you are satisfied--or unsatisfied--with their service. Then ask them for a referral of anyone who would like to use your business. This is a great way to grow your business!

Step 5) Give each current customer a business COUPON--say $25 or whatever--for each new business customer they refer to you. Before long, your business line will be ringing with referral business!

Step 6) Join your local BUSINESS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE or BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU and initiate a reciprocal referral program with the organization.

Step 7) All in all, ask for BUSINESS REFERRALS from anyone you come in contact with on a regular basis. I hope this has been a helpful guide on how to increase business referrals. Good luck!
