Ep #137: Clarifying the Who

Here’s Some Episode Highlights:

By now I hope when I ask who is the most important person in your referral strategy or process, I hope without hesitation you say… “the referral source”.

We’ve been on a roll through the last few episodes digging in to these very important humans.  And with this episode we go one step further to determine who might refer us this year.

I do encourage you to go back to episode #135 as we pulled together our referral sources from the last few years plus rated our relationship with them.

And episode 136 where we used those results to calculate two very important numbers – our average referrals for the year and our referral explosion potential (if we’re willing to do the work)!

And now we are going to discuss one more point that helps us understand who might refer us this year.

And that is who is active and who is not active.

I dig in to help you understand who you get referrals from – by category – and then considering who you should consider active or inactive.

Because an inactive referral sources needs to be cultivated back into referring you (though it’s not always possible).
