6 Ways To Encourage Customers to Generate Referrals for You

Most companies get referrals by luck, but a smart business owner will pro-actively contact his happy customers and ask for referrals to family, friends, co-workers and colleagues.  Of course, any business can develop a referral program — including consultants and professional practitioners.

How can you contact customers and ask them to recommend others to you?

  • Include a special letter in their next shipment thanking them for their business and asking them to pass along an enclosed flyer to friends and family.
  • At your website or in your e-newsletter, ask readers to forward the link to friends who can register themselves for your service. Here’s a free tell-a-friend service for your website.
  • Provide referral rewards. When a customer refers someone else, both people get a discount on services.
  • Send personalized letters to your customers who are professional practitioners asking them to mention you to their client base. Offer to provide a free consultation to any of their clients who respond.
  • Credit the customer’s account when they send you new business. Many customers could enjoy free products and services from you when they send you enough new business.
  • Promote bring-a-friend offers. When a customer brings a friend or spouse to enjoy services with them, both people get a discount. This strategy is ideal for slow days or months at your personal-services business.

Referrals typically bring in the best customers. Start your program today.

Can I Ask You A Favor?

The response to my new ‘Instant Income® Planner’ has been decidedly bigger than expected.

Business owners from all over the world have been downloading it by the thousands.  And the comments my office has gotten about the Planner tell me it’s a report that small business owners sorely need in today’s economy.

I’m happy to read your comments at any time, but can I ask you a favor?

Instead of emailing me directly, could you post to my blog?  That way, when I respond, your fellow entrepreneurs can benefit, too.

Keep enjoying the Planner report…but more importantly — implement what you learn!

I’d love to hear about the results in your business.

Does Your Business Need Instant Income?

As a small business owner,  you realize that you are losing out on money you could be making from your existing business.

You’ve spent a lot of time, effort and money to get where you are today.  You probably put your own money into starting your business… you hired employees or established outsource relationships.

You spent time and money developing a product or service… and every day of the year you spend even more time and money advertising it, selling it and delivering it.

Along the way – without even knowing it – you created something else, too: Marketable assets.

Assets that don’t necessarily show up on your inventory or balance sheet.  Assets like your customer list, your relationships with suppliers, your advertising calendar, your Internet presence, the knowledge of your key employees, the sales pitch your salespeople use… and on and on.

I’m going to help you turn those uncommon assets into desperately needed income… instantly.

I’ll show you to the dozens of simple strategies that can turn idle inventory, excess capacity, key relationships and planned expenditures into significantly more revenue – with virtually no additional effort on your part

My goal is to show you how to:

* Sell more to your current customers

* Reactivate your past customers

* Generate new customers at no cost to you

* Increase your prices

* Lower your costs

* Get others to do your marketing for you

I am  sharing ideas and strategies, along with my guide of specific tactics you can follow to start generating extra income right away.

Best of all, it’s free – all you need to do is sign up for my FREE Instant Income Planner by clicking here now.
