Referrals

Add comment October 13th, 2006

Consulting is a referral business. Three things you can do today to build referrals:

1. Make a list of 30 people you have had a shared success with, go back to school, first job, etc.
2. Contact those people tell them:
   • What you have been up to
   • Here’s what I am looking for, please refer me to people if they are looking for my services.
   • Please let me know what you have been up to and call if there is anything I can do to help.
3. Write 2 testimonials for people you’ve had a shared success with in LinkedIn
