Generating Referrals for Your Business

Academy Group 32, chief executive mentoring and experiential learning group (with members from the East Midlands area) recently heard Rob Brown give a very practical insight into how to implement and extract real value from a structured referral system. Any company that could use extra business generated from referrals should come to one of Rob’s sessions.

His top 3 tips were:

  • Turn the fans of your business into advocates (he gave a process for this).
  • Seek active referrals, rather than passive ones – get a personal introduction and strong endorsement (Rob gave us a 7 step process that all members present could use for getting active referrals).
  • When seeking referrals be really focused and specific upon the introductions that you would like the referrer to give you – the more specific you are the easier it is to think of someone suitable.

A really useful session from Rob on how to develop a structured process and system for getting high-quality referrals into your business. Very practical and enjoyed by all members present.
