So how often do you or your highly trained staff, ask your best, most loyal customers and or clients for referrals? Even from here, I can sense your hesitation. And I totally agree with you BTW. The direct ‘asking’ for referrals approach kinda sucks, does it not? Absolutely.
However, who says you and I have to use the direct approach. Say what? Stop and consider some of the extremely viable marketing alternatives, for just a second. You know you definitely don’t want to continually go the 500% plus route, in order to generate some first time customers or clients, right? No way.
So how about consistently implementing, some extremely low cost, high impact, customer acquisition techniques. Because on average, doing so means, you don’t have to rely on reaching out to your target audience, on average, anywhere from 7-14 times.
Before they even begin to notice your presence. Instead, you can and definitely should become strategic.
And get directly and indirectly in front of your ideal prospects, for literally pennies on the dollar. As you’re about to discover how.
