Referrals

If you want referrals just ask! Heard that before? Does it work? The client says yes I'll certainly pass your name on. If you don't get a name and phone number straight away, you probably won't. So what is the best way of getting referred? It's quite easy really.
When you have concluded a deal with a client, or done a piece of work for them, tell them that you have enjoyed working with them. Tell them that they are the sort of client that you like best. Tell them that you appreciate having their business.
We all like compliments. We all like to be appreciated. We like people who pay us compliments. People we like are people we recommend. I have had a great many recommendations over the years on the various jobs I've done, however, none of them because I've asked.If you want referals just ask! Heard that before? Does it work?
