APPARIO NEWSLETTER - KEEP IT SHORT & SIMPLE! SEPTEMBER 2013

There are some businesses, some products and some people that are just easier to refer - some months you have lots of new leads and others none at all - that’s life, do not give up!

Why you might not get referred

1. You are not very good at what you do - not just bad for referrals!

2. You are not reliable – be right in time, give feed back etc.

3.You are unpredictable – create you “referral behavior”.

4. You aren’t very likable – ignore personal preferences, be openminded (nationality, culture, language etc.).

5. You are overpriced – set up different price models, sell “test – offers” / free consultations.

6. You do not give referrals – it’s a give and take game.

How do you get referrals

1. Just ask for a referral – it is that easy, people won’t kill you.

2. Make sure that others have all the information of you theyneed – brief presentation, business cards, sample of your product.

3. Be patient - do not forget, it is a long run procedure!
