Growing your business on referrals? You need to read this.

Many of the businesses and experts I work with started their business the same way - referrals and word of mouth.

Referrals can be fantastic clients, but you also get your fair share of people who aren’t a good fit. A lot of my clients bolt into that in person networking and again, you can meet some great people, but often that can be a huge time suck and lead to conversations that go nowhere.

If you’re reliant on referrals, word of mouth or in-person networking to win new clients, the reality is and I’ve seen it many many times, your sales and marketing engine just won’t sustain the business long term.

I love referrals, you love referrals, we all love referrals - especially when those juicy easy wins land in our lap, but that creates a major problem for us too. It means that we’re not creating new opportunities, they’re being fed to us. It means your message, your marketing, your entire sales process is untested.

If you look at some competitors that are killing it right now, it’s not that they’re better than you, they don’t offer superior services, in fact, they may not be anwywhere near as good as you - it’s just they have a sales and marketing engine that is feeding them consistent opportunity.

If you want better, higher paying clients, higher margins, and ultimately more control over your future, you have to change the way you approach acquiring clients.

As they say, if nothing changes, nothing changes.

To have that control, you need your revenue to be from a mix of sources, referrals, word of mouth and organic marketing too.

I work with expert-led businesses to help them want to end their reliance on referrals and have a process that consistently brings them new leads and new clients.
