It is no mystery to anyone who has been in business, especially a home business where funds are tight, that referral marketing is the fastest and cheapest way to build a business that makes making money at home so much easier. easier than with traditional advertising.
And there are many ways to get referrals.
For example, one of the best ways is to do it when someone has paid you a compliment.
But another good time to ask for referrals is after the sale has been made.
In fact, according to Jay Conrad Levinson (one of the most prolific and respected marketers in the world), as soon as the sale is completed and paid for, the person feels a sense of positivity.
And while you’re feeling that positivity, that’s the time to ask for the referral.
It doesn’t have to be fancy or anything, just ask for the names of three or five people who could benefit from being on your mailing list.
And to make it worthwhile, to make it easy and fun for them to refer you, you can also give them a reward or a gift in exchange for those names.
And then, to really blow the opportunity for all it’s worth, go back to those same customers who gave you referrals a month later and ask for more. And then again six months later.
The reason why is because people meet new people all the time. And during that month and the next six months, they will most likely have even more names for you.
This is one of the best referral tips I’ve ever heard.
And I can guarantee that if you use it for your home business, it will grow it much faster and easier than it would otherwise, and put more money in your pocket almost immediately.
