Success Is Quality, Not Perfection
- Success means building trusting relationships and getting mostly the right referrals, not perfection.
- Expect occasional mismatches but aim for consistent, quality introductions over time.

- Do research and assume willingness initially while you verify relevance through conversation.

- This shift reduces fear of asking and makes referral conversations feel normal and authentic.
