    A Successful Referral Program is Built on Trust According to Steve Hall

    How to Get Referrals Without Asking for Them According to Stacey Brown Randall

    How to Get Referrals Without Asking for Them According to Stacey Brown Randall

    Stacey Brown Randall agrees with the majority definition of a referral: It is a potential client being referred to you. To qualify as a referral, there has to be a personal connection to the referral source. Secondly, the prospect needs to know they have a problem and are interested in solving it (thus willing to be connected with you). 
    But getting referrals is where Stacey’s strategy differs from the norm. Stacey believes that you should never ask for referrals. So how do you get them? Listen to this episode of Sales Reinvented to find out!
