Episode notes
Why Referrals Are Better Customers
- Referred customers are generally better because they have less sales resistance and are more trusting.
- They also tolerate higher prices and tend to shop less before choosing your business.
Why Business Owners Avoid Referral Systems
- Most business owners mistakenly believe they're already getting enough referrals without a system.
- Their entitlement and ego prevent them from actively asking or building referral processes.
Why Customers Don't Refer Automatically
- Customers rarely refer automatically due to high risk and effort compared to mere patronage.
- Referrals require motivation, system, and expressed gratitude to overcome these barriers.
