Referrals are key to any business, be it multinational or a small enterprise, with this in mind building relationship is as important as making sales. When you deliver the type of results that your clients and customers want, they are more likely to recommend you to their peers. This is a significant concept. If you consistently provide excellent service to your customers, you will stand out and catch the attention of others plan on converting this notice into future sales.
As the adage goes, it takes at least eight touchpoints to make a sale. Potential customers will interact with your business many times before finally choosing to book an appointment and in the digital age, many of these interactions take place online. When others see the value in working with your company, you are well on your way to building a successful referral-based business. Assuming deliverables are consistent, even the best and shrewdest relationship-builder will struggle to get quality referrals from their clients, because the client isn’t sure of the experience for a friend, family, nor colleague.
Have a mental image of your ideal client.
Everyone that comes in contact with your business is as important as the former. It is essential to treat every customer as your best customer and treat them with the attention they deserve, however, the truth is that a large portion of your business will come from a smaller portion of your entire client base. If your clients truly understand what you bring to the table and how instrumental you are in delivering on your promises, they automatically and systematically seek out other like-minded family, friends, and colleagues that are referral worthy.
When your clients invest more and have tangible value, in our case, in the form of investment returns, they will refer more and more people within their circle of influence to your business. In turn, this will create even more clients who are willing to put your name forward as long as you don’t lose sight of the need to be consistent and reliable in your business ethics.
Don’t be afraid to ask for a referral.
It is a tough thing to do, but you need to be okay with asking current customers to refer you. If they are not comfortable talking about the business that they do with you then that is entirely different, as long as you continue to service such person your business with them is protected. And if otherwise, your chances of increased sales blooms. In our unique case, some people don’t want to tell others about their investments and personal wealth, and that is OK. However, most do and are happy to talk about the wise investment choice they made and their goals for future investments.
Building a solid, 100% referral-based business is possible. You don’t need massive advertising campaigns, and most can’t afford them anyway. Ensure you have your value proposition locked down and begin to talk to your clients about their experience with you. That will lead naturally into a nice, friendly referral conversation where you can’t be afraid to ask. Be referral-worthy and reap the benefits of spending your marketing budget on gifts for your customers.
