  15. I. Best Practise – Getting Referrals • How to Get a Referral • Your best new prospects are your present customers. • You can’t get a referral without first having a trusted partnership/relationship • You can’t get a relationship without earning it. • Relationship  Trust  Business  Relationship  Trust  Referral rights • Earn the business • Provide excellent service, value, and followup • Ask for the referral after you have delivered proven value (your report card)

  16. I. Best Practise – Getting Referrals • From Jeffrey Gitomer’s own experience and advice....... • The WORST way to get a referral is to ask for one right after you make a sale, but before you have performed. Big Mistake. Why would someone risk a referral on an unproven product or system? • A GOOD way to get a referral is to ask for one after you have delivered value to the customer • A BETTER way to get a referral is to earn one • The BEST way to get a referral is to GIVE one

  17. I. Best Practise – Getting Referrals • The best way to approach and work a referral? • (is NOT to approach and work a referral, but to partner with your customer and get them to do it for you) • Must get your customer involved: • as an additional salesperson - removes any hesitation or barrier • to talk about you / your products and services as third party endorsement • Strategy: • Get your customer to give the referral • Get your customer to call and make an introduction • Get your customer to set up a three way call • Get your customer to set up a three way lunch/breakfast meeting • Get your customer to tell you everything you need to know to make a personal impact

  18. I. Worst Practise – Getting Referrals • Sal’s TOP FIVE things to avoid: • How NOT to be successful in referrals: • Asking for a referral immediately after the sale with uproven product /service • Asking for a referral before you’ve earned it (60-90 days) • Asking for a referral from a customer not 100% proven happy and successful with your product, services and results • Accepting the referral and putting it into your sales kit without first checking / secret shopping the strength of what your customer is saying • Grabbing the referral and running. Thank your customer by bringing them a referral/value – if you get them business, they’ll find new ways and new people to keep doing the same for you.
