Strategic Networking and Genuine Relationships

Can you meaningfully grow your business through referrals? Today on the Influential Personal Brand Podcast, Sara Hardwick from GIFT-OLOGY joins us to discuss their new referral course and the importance of building connections to grow your revenue. This episode is the perfect way to honor the late CEO of GIFT-OLOGY, John Ruhlin who left an incredible legacy by doing just that. Tuning in, you’ll hear that a referral is simply an introduction that adds value, how you can get referrals without asking, three key points to consider when having a referral conversation, the best and worst time to ask for referrals, focusing on finding a referral partnership, and a breakdown of their COPE system to find the right referral partners. We delve into the importance of having a strategy and system for referrals before discussing how to create ‘incentives’ for people to refer your business and why a ‘thank you’ goes a long way. We even discuss how important it is for the person who receives a referral to communicate. Finally, Sara shares advice for helping referral partners to introduce you to their contacts.
