Topic: Constant Continuous Predicable Referrals
What is the value of referral marketing? Would you rather create one client via the “Old Fashioned” cold calling or several clients with less effort through your referral power team?
Did you know that it takes the same effort to make one sale as it does to create several new clients by using referral marketing strategies? You create a referral power team with professionals who have the same target market and train each other your products and services. You work to create a strong relationship with your referral power team and to “Train” your sales force. The team is out their looking for potential clients for you just like you are looking for clients for them.
Once you both get on the same page the referrals start rolling in.
Take your business to the next level! Stop cold calling and learn how to start building your network of referral partners or your “Referral Power Team” by attending the October 11 luncheon meeting.
