Last week I was in a 2 day training seminar which was talking about working by referral. It was not ground breaking information, and was actually just reinforcement for a program I had gone through. Basically in 1 sentence or less, I get nearly all of my business through referrals from friends, family, past clients, and business partners. However, the seminar got me thinking.
Through my personal and professional life, I have met some really great people. I have a number of people or companies that I would be happy to refer out to anyone and everyone. If you are looking for financial planner to help manage your portfolio or assets, I have a great guy. If you need a painter, plumber, general contractor, etc, I have a person. I even have worked with people in completely unrelated fields like attorneys, golf vacation companies, restaurants, and things along those lines, I know people. If you are looking for real estate specific referrals, I know mortgage brokers, moving companies, staging and design companies, and of course a really great Realtor that works for RE/MAX. (ME!)
However, I do have requests that come up for industries that I don’t have a ‘guy’. That makes me want to go out to my friends, family, and colleagues. I want to know what YOU do! Referrals make the world go round and I would much rather refer someone I like vs. some stranger from the yellow pages. Plus I think it creates a certain amount of accountability. I know if I am referred a client by a friend, the last thing I want to do is disappoint them. Not only would it make me look bad but would trickle down to the friend that referred me.
So, if you ever need a point of contact in any industry, I am happy to help. Also, shoot me an e-mail, text, or just give me a call and let me know what you do. I am always happy to pass on a name and number!
