If you want to learn how to turn your word-of-mouth marketing into a lead-gen machine then you are in the right place. 


This is especially relevant for local businesses that are 'behind the times' in attracting new clients.


I’m notorious for saying this and I finally get to put it in an article

“Give me 10 new clients and I’ll have them refer me 10 new ones.”


It's all based on this system that I am about to share with you.


Let's begin


The Quickest Way To Double Your Business

Many talk about word-of-mouth marketing as the greatest way to grow your business; however, almost all local business take their referrals for granted.


It is utterly unacceptable not to establish a direct relationship with your customers after their purchase. You must market to these customers to drive upsells, repeat purchases, and referrals.


It’s a shame that people miss out on this and it's part of the world we live in where everyone wants immediate results and they tend to overlook the simple solution…


Now...


Here is the easiest way to double your business: Get every one of your clients to refer you to a new client.


So How Does That Work?


When I first start working with my clients I ask them “How do you do at getting referrals?” 


The majority of the time I get a response like “Well we do pretty good, we get a lot of referrals.”


The answer to my next question is a key indicator on whether or not I would be a good fit to step in and help them get more clients.


“What is a lot?”


And 99% of the time they have no idea how many referrals they are getting. 


They take whatever referrals they get and are happy to have them but they have no system in place to measure how many referrals they are getting. 


If your answers are similar, There is a good chance that being casual about your referral has cost you untold amounts of money. 


Getting Clients To Refer You Is Easy… If You Know This Referral Method


In most cases, your satisfied clients forget about you until they need your services again, and to top that off they have to strain to remember your personal or business name… 


“What was that guy's name who works over there at the uhh Rocket City?”

“Who fixed this breaker box last year?”


They can’t even find you to buy from you. 


Let alone refer anyone to you and be alert for opportunities to refer to you.


How To Prevent This From Happening


“Omnipresence.” 


This one will set you miles ahead of anyone else, especially local businesses that are notorious for lagging behind.

You must become visible in between transactions and put yourself in a top-of-consciousness position.


Where small gaps of time go by between you reminding your customer or client of your relationship 


I can't emphasize this enough: if you are not doing this, you are missing out on the biggest unexploited value in your business.


Truth be told even if you can deliver that “great experience” they just don't refer you because they are not thinking about you they are thinking about themselves.


I proved this to two clients recently which sparked me to write this article. 


Both had great client reviews, an exceptional products and services, with every reason to be referred based on their outward appearance.


But at the end of the day


Words Talk, Numbers Scream


Once we replaced the old-fashioned way of getting referrals with my system, one saw up to a 27.3% increase in new customers in just two months.


Now this whole system has way too much information to put in an article.

P.S People regularly pay me thousands to learn how to build this but you can have it for free
