Guide to Getting Clients Through Referrals

I found this great guide to getting new clients from referrals on the Dumb Little Man blog yesterday (a blog which, by the way, isn't dumb or 'little'). The post is by K. Stone and it's called 10 Referral Tips for Bagging Big Business.

If you've ever wondered how to grow your business using referrals, this post is for you. K. Stone lays out referral techniques in step-by-step, easy to understand language. No matter what your home business is, you'll find something in this post that you can use.

Why is it that we are so hesitant to ask for referrals from our clients? referrals-equal-cash.JPG

Could it be because we are afraid of rejection? Or, do we just not want to "bother" our clients? I have to confess that asking for referrals is not my own strong point.

I think, if done correctly, getting client referrals can become a pleasant (and maybe even natural) part of doing business. There's really no need to be apologetic or embarrassed about asking for referrals.

What about you? Do you have trouble in this area, or do you get a lot of new business from client referrals?
