Referral Suction: How To Attract QualityLeads... Without Spending A Penny On
Advertising...
From: Michael Silk.
Dear Reader,
Leverage!
Thats what Im all about.
And I suggest you are also, especially when it comes to the marketing of your business.
So in this report I'm going to pull back the curtain on how to leverage off your existingcontacts... to...
Trigger A Consistent Influx Of Referral Leads
Into Your Business
Im guessing you dont need selling on the idea that referrals are extremely important to
your business, do you?
After all, just about everyone in business knows a referral lead costs less to acquire than a
cold lead, via, say, conventional advertising.
Thats marketing 101, right?
Yes it is. But what you may not (yet) appreciate is just how much of a positive impact
referrals can have on your business... as well as...

Your Entire Life
A true story to illustrate my point:
Listen, in Brisbane (Australia) there is a dentist called Dr. Paddi Lund who used to work like
a maniac at his dental practice -- putting in 60-hours per week.
That was the input. The outputwas Dr. Paddi Lund made about the average yearly salary for
a workaholic dentist.
More: He was tired, stressed, burnt out, and extremely unhappy.
So he decided to do something drastic and revolutionary.
He Fired All His Patients
Well okay, not exactlyfiredthem.
But what he did do was increase his prices, and...
Made It A Mandatory Condition
Of Anyone Who Wanted To Be A
Patient To Refer Other Quality
Patients To Him
And this new rule also went for existing patients who wanted to continuebeing a patient.
Question:
Would you care to guess what happened after Dr. Paddi Lund re-engineered his business
into a referral only operation?
Answer:
The way I heard it Dr. Paddi Lund now only works about 22-hours a week (about 1/3of what
he worked before) and his annual salary is over 3-TIMESthe average dentists salary.
And as far as I know, Dr. Paddi Lund is (and has been for some time now)...
The Highest Paid Dentist In Australia
As well as the most chilled-out.
End of story.
Okay, now weve set the stage forjust how much of a positive impact referrals can have on a
business -- (virtually any kind of business) -- lets you and I explore some...

Systematic Referral Generating Strategies YouCan
Begin Implementing In YourBusiness
By the way, notice in the above sub-head how Ive underlined the wordsystematic.
Why have I done this?
The reason is so: It has been my observation most business owners that attempt to generate
referral leads do so in a very haphazard way.
No good.
What you need (what you must have) is asystematic processin place.
Now, you dont have to be as militantabout it as Dr. Paddi Lund.
You can still accept business from other sources (apart from referrals)... but... it isa good idea(especially during sluggish economic times) to have some kind of systematic referral
marketing process in place.
But how?
Well, let me paint a picture of a typical scenariothat often plays out when someone tries to
get referral(s)... and then... contrast itwith a basic, yet well-thought-out, systematic approach
to stimulating referrals.
Okay, what most business people do to get referrals is do whatever work theyve been hired
to perform... and then... only after the client has given their approval does the business person
summon up the courage to ask for a referral.
Most dont even ask they merely hint!
This, of course, often creates an all-round awkward situation in the client / business person
dynamic... and... more often than not...
Results In Zero Referrals
Or, at best, a few unqualified referrals (otherwise known as names).
Lets switch gears. Lets say, for arguments sake, youre a business consultant.
And lets say youre in the process of talking with a qualified prospect that is making all the
right noises about wanting to hire you.
Well, its at thisstage in the relationship (before a prospect has become a client) that I
suggest you set down your rules of business communicating your expectationthat all
clients you take on will refer other quality prospects to you.
Heres a quick example of how that conversation could go:
-

###
BUSINESS CONSULTANT:Mr. Prospect, I would be happy to work with you and help
you achieve your goal of XXX. However, I do have a condition you must agree to before I take
you on as a client...
PROSPECT:Oh, whats that?
BUSINESS CONSULTANT: When I have done everything Ive said I will do on this call...
including A, B and C... and... assuming I satisfy your expectations... you will agree to give me
the name and contact details of X number of quality referralsbased upon the criteria I will
share with you -- can you foresee a problem with that?
PROSPECT:Uh, no. I cant see that being a problem.
###
Hardly anyone will see it as a problem.
Why would they? After all, if you look at the above phraseology of the business consultant
youll notice its communicating4very important things:
1). It communicatesthat the business person (in this case a business consultant) has heard
and more importantly understoodwhat is required by the prospect.
2). It communicatesthat the business person doesnt just take on anyoneas a client.
Money alone is notenough. You must agree to refer in order to qualify.
3). It communicatesthat the business person in ultraconfident he/she can meet and
satisfy the prospects expectationswithout overtly saying so (which would be
perceived as a sales move). This, of course, inspires confidence in the mind of the
prospectmaking them much more likely to want to become a client.
And...
4). It communicatesright from the get-go...
The Authorative Stance & Leadership QualitiesOf The Business Person
Of course, throughout working with a client you must continually remindthem of their
agreement to give you X number quality referrals. And make sure you educateyour client on
what a good quality referral lead would look like.
Plus, its a good idea to set aside a special referral only meeting at the end of your contract
(or at a pre-agreed upon date) where you will sit down (or talk on the telephone, if its a long-
distance relationship) with your client for the sole purpose of gathering the referrals.
What next?

Next, I suggest you have a referral getting letter (prepared in advance by you)... that...
would be sent out (preferably from your client) to all those people your client has given you as
quality referrals.
The purpose of this letter?
To Introduce You And Your Services To
The Referrals, Of Course
Sounds like a fairly straightforward approach, doesnt it?
And it is.But it would be my educated opinion that...
90% Of Consultants & Coaches Dont Do
Even 10% Of What Ive Just Described
And that is whyin the vast majority of casesmost consultants and coaches never get thevolume of quality referrals they should rightfully be getting for their business.
In all truthfulness, if you just set down the expectation youll be asking for referrals at the
outset of every new client relationshipand follow-through with a referral collecting
meeting and a referral getting letter -- youll start getting more quality referrals than 90% of
your competition.
But you know what?
Im not happy giving you referral marketing strategies that will put you ahead of 90% of your
competition.
Uh, uh.
What I want to do throughout the restof this strategy report (if its okay with you) is give you
referral marketing strategies that will put you w-a-yahead of a full 99.9% of your competition.
Would that be okay with you?
If so, lets now turn ourattention to some advanced referral generating strategies. Referral
marketing strategies that can...
Quickly Flush Out Quality Referrals From
Your Existing Contacts
Lets get to it.
OK, thefirst advanced referral marketing strategy we are going to dive into is something I
like to refer to as the tempting testimonial technique.
Youll understand why I refer (no pun intended!) to it as the tempting testimonial technique
as you read about the strategy below. Heres what you do:
-
8/12/2019 Referral Suction
6/22
2012 MichaelSilkConsulting.com 6of 22
Lets say youve just done a fantastic job for a client. And because the client is so enamoured
with the way you conducted business and the results youve produced for him, he (at your
request!) rifles off a glowing testimonial to youexpounding upon your wonderfulness and
the benefits hes got from working with you, etc., etc.
Of course, being the smart marketer you are... you set about show casing that glowingtestimonial in all your marketing promotions, (you doalready do that, dont you?).
But guess what?
Because you are reading this strategy report you will now know how to squeeze every last
drop of profit potential out of every testimonial you receive from here on out.
Look, because you will have gotten the client to also give you referral leadsin the manner I
have outlined aboveyou will now (from hereon forward) usethe glowing testimonial when
contacting those referrals.
How?
Like this: You write a short introduction letter to those referral leads -- (on behalf of the
client who supplied you them) -- and if you can swing it, you have the client agree to have that
letter printed on their letterhead paper and sent to their referral leads.
So, why do I call this the testimonial temptation technique? Because you use the clients
testimonial (which does your selling legwork for you) as the juicy bait in your letter to...
Tempt A Referral Lead
To Initiate Contact With
You
To illustrate: A real life example of the testimonial temptation technique referral generating
letter follows:

Can you nowsee the beauty of this strategy?
Once again, youre using the testimonial to very subtly tempt each referral lead to chase
you down for the solution you providetheres no heavy handed sales pitch or bragging
involved in the letter. The only real selling component of the letter comes in the form of the
clients testimonial... whom the referral lead will...
AlreadyKnow, Like And Trust
Which are all factors that give you a leg up with the unknown-to-you referral lead.
A couple of other things I feel it is important to point out about that letter. Firstly, look at the
second PS. It lets the recipient of the letter (the referral lead) know that your client (whom the
referral lead obviously knows) will probably give them a call within the next few days to see
what their experience is with the business person being referred (which, in the above letter is
me).
Why put that second PS into the letter?
Think about it: it lets the referral lead know theyd better act on the letter sooner rather than
later... because... their friend / associate / colleague / family member...
Will Likely Be Contacting Them Very Soon To
See How Things Went
And its going to be a teensy bit embarrassing if theyve got nothing to report when a
friend / associate / colleague / family member gets in contact with them, isnt it?
Remember: People will often go out of their way to get the approval of other peopleand do
very little to directly benefit themselves!
OK, the second thing I want to point out about that letter is it offers as a first point of
contact with the person being referred (me) a free, no obligation 45-minute cash flow
generation analysis.
Why?
Simply because its a very good idea to enticea referral lead to initiate contact with you (ortake your call)...
By Offering Them Something Of Value
It could be a free consultation(which I choose to call a free cash flow generation
analysis)... or... perhaps a free evaluation... or... perhaps...
A free report- which will outline a solution to a pressing problem likely experienced by
the referral lead, as well as, demonstrate that...

Wants Their Problem Taken Care Of For Them

By the way, anotheradvantage of using a free report(or free audio CDof you being
interviewed on your area of expertise) as your give away in your referral generating letters is
The Referral Lead Has A Very Non-Threatening
(And Anonymous) Way To Become More Familiar With
Who You Are And What You Can Do For Them
In other words, they dont have to pick up the phone to initiate contact with you and run the
risk of being on the receiving end of a pushy salespitch thats going to make them
uncomfortable.
Okay, moving on.
It should go without saying but, if you have a client or associate that refers you business you
need to reward that client in some fashion.
To be fair, most smart business people do offer some kind of reward or recognition ofappreciation to those people who have referred business.
And if you dont already you muststartrewarding people who refer you business. You can
do so with a simple handwritten thank you note, complimentary theatre tickets, complimentary
dinner tickets, a bottle of good wine, and so on and so forth. In fact, just about anything can be
offered as a referral reward as long as it will be appreciatedby the person who referred you the
business.
Know this: More people in the world are starved of appreciation than they are of food.
And know this also: If you show your appreciation to a person who has referred you business
(whether of not that referral turns into a paying client)...
That Person Is Then 3-TIMES More Likely To Continue
To Refer You Business In The Future
Something to think about, isnt it?
Another referral reward -- assuming your industry doesnt frown upon it... is...
A Referral Fee
This simply means you offer, say, anywhere from 10% to 25% (of what the referred client
pays you) to the person who referred the new client.
You get the idea.
Pretty standard practice, right?
Possibly so. But what most definitely isntstandard practice is making the referral fee the
unique selling position (U.S.P)of your business.
Huh? How do you do this?

Simple: You just let everyone know upfront (in all your marketing, advertising and other
communications) that...
You Give ClientsA 100% RefundEven When They
Are EcstaticWith The Service You Provide
What!?
Let me explain:
When a prospect enquires about your services you let them know that you will expectthem to
refer business to you if they become a client. All as I described before.
However, this time you also let them know about your 100% refundpolicy. And the way
it works is like this: when a client refers you one new paying client you will refund (or pay
as a referral fee) 25%of the fee they paid. If they refer two new clients youll refund50%of the fee they paid. Three new clients youll refund 75% of the fee they paid. And if they
refer just four new paying clients...
Youll RefundThem 100% Of The Fee
They Paid
In other words, if they refer just 4 new clients to youthey will have got your service...for
free.
Now, you may want to make the refund 20% for each new client. In other words, the client
would need to refer 5 new clients in order to get a 100% refund.
Also, for obvious reasons, I recommend you put a time-limit boundary on this 100% refund
policy for referralsI suggest either 3 months or 6 months, and no more than 12-months.
In any case, this strategy of offering a 100% refund on your service (as a referral fee) can
very often turn into the deciding factor for a prospect mulling over the idea of becoming a
paying client.
Furthermore, the 100% refund strategy will often...
Turn Into A GameYour Clients Will Try
To Win
Where winning is giving you 4 (or 5) referrals so they can claw back the 100% refund
before the time-limit is up.
Something else interesting (and favourable to you) if you decide to incorporate this 100%
refund referral generating strategy into your business: when a new client comes on board by
way of referralthat client will often alreadyunderstand the game... and therefore...
-
8/12/2019 Referral Suction
12/22
2012 MichaelSilkConsulting.com 12of 22
Will Often Have Referrals Already Lined Up To
Give You Immediately He/She Signs-Up As A
Paying Client
Which is exactly what you want them to dobecause you only pay the refund (referral fee)
after the new client has paid you.
Get it? Im sure you do. So lets move onto another referral generating strategy that can be
extremely powerful.
Listen, as Im sure youd agree, its one thingsayingyoull reward a person with a referral
fee if their referral lead turns into a paying client (anyone can say that, cant they?) but...
Its Another Thing Altogether
When You Prove It Up Front
By Send A Referral Fee
In Advance
And you do it like so:

Anyway, the beauty of this cheque in advance referral generating strategy is two-fold:
1). You are physically putting the referral fee right under the recipients nose (which,
from a psychological standpoint, is very hard for the recipient to throw away or
ignore)... and...
2). A cheque has a built-in life span of 6-months (so it creates an impending deadline
for the recipient to refer you businessi.e., in order to deposit the cheque)
For obvious reasons, you should onlyuse this advance payment of referral fee strategy
with people you have a close connection with and whom you can trust not to be deposit the
cheque before you give them the nod.
Lets move on.
Heres another powerful referral generating strategy. Its called:
The Endorsed Referral Strategy
Whats this?
Basically, you get a business owner that serves the same client profile as you to send out a
mailing -- (preferably written by you on behalf of the other business owner) -- to their clients.
For example: If you were a business consultant, it could be a good idea to get an accountant
to send out a letter to their accounting clients endorsing your services. And, if a fee-paying
client comes on board as a result of that endorsementa referral fee (or joint venture fee)
would be paid to the business owner (i.e., the accountant) that endorsed you.
Frankly, with the right business endorsing you, its not uncommon for an endorsed mailing to
produce a 30% response, or more(which sure beats a 1%- 2% response youd typically get
from a cold mailing where no pre-existing relationship exists).
Want to know how to easily recruit businesses to endorse you?
Heres a novel idea: Pay them for every letter they mail out endorsing your business. Ive
heard a how-to author does this (when he has a new book to promote). He approaches
centres of influence in his field (that already have a mailing list of the profile of people whowould be hot for his book) and agrees to pay them a dollar for every letter they mail out to
their subscriber / customer base.
The author makes plenty of book sales (and profit) from this arrangement. And guess what
else? The book he sells is his front-end product. And so, the author up-sells the book buyers
to his higher priced information products...
And Makes Even MoreProfit!
Smart. Very smart!

OK, you got it.
Here is a quick run-down of a number of other referral marketing strategies that should hot
wire your brain with ideas you can translate over toyourparticular business:
Referral Discount Fee Strategy:When a potential client asks how much your services are --
reply with: Do you want the full service charge or the discount referral charge?
When the prospective client responds with: Whats that?
You reply: You can pay the full fee of X but, if you agree to refer 3 (or however many)
people to my business within the next 3 monthsyou are eligible for the discounted fee of X
which one would you prefer to go with?
Free Upgrade With Referrals:Theres a company that puts on a free marketing seminar to
local business owners. At the end of that free seminar he would tell the audience that he wasputting on another free seminar the following week which would cover a really hot marketing
topic. The seminar speaker tells the audience the cost of the next hot topic seminar is X but,
the audience members can upgrade and attend the seminar for free I Fthey bring two other
business owners with them. I heard his seminar audience grew from roughly 30 to 90 business
owners in a week.
And Id bet hes generated a lot of fee paying clients from those seminars.
Something to think about! Something to think about!
You Go First Referral Strategy:Sometimes all you need to do to stimulate referrals is go
first. Like so: You say to a business associate something like: Hey John, I sometimes feel
guilty Im not referring people I know to your business. So I was wondering. If Istart referring
people to you; would you also start referringpeople to me?
No harm in asking!
The Thank You Letter Referral Generator:Im not 100% sure but, I think I invented this
one. I wrote a direct mail package for a client selling an info-product on how to market an
information product online. As part of the direct mail package, I wrote a thank you letter that
was designed to go out to the customer with each product order. The letter thanked thecustomer for their purchase... reassuredthem theyd made a wise purchasing decision...
remindedthem of the benefits theyd soon be enjoying from the product... and then...
Offered Them A FREE Telephone Consultation With
ME On Advanced Marketing Strategies They Could Use To
Promote An Info-Product Online
Can you replicate this referral generating strategy? You bet you can! Hardly anybusiness
ever (not ever!) sends a thank you letter to their customers / clients immediately after a
purchase. So, why dont you write a letter for them that will a)bond them with their
customer / client b)reduce their level of refunds... and... of course... c)give their customers /clients a reason to contact you!

professionals to use... and most importantly... an opportunity to give (and receive) referrals
from.
Do hope you can help. Remember all youve got to do is list 10 (or more) additional service
professionals to the list I have started (and enclosed along with this letter).
Please let me know if youve got any questions --Idbe glad to fully explain the referral
network club concept to you over the phone.
Warmly,
(Your Name)
PS.So we can all start benefitingfrom the new referral network club as soon as possible
it would be greatly appreciated if you could get your completed sheet back to me before (date).
PPS.If you do not wish to be an invited member of this new referral network club and benefitfrom the referral business it will give you, no problem. Just let me know and Ill remove your
name and business from the membership listing.
###
Or something like that.
What you want to happen as quickly as possible-- as you can see from the example letter
above -- is for all the initial service professionals you list to come back to you with other
service professionals added to the list.
In other words...
You Want To Fill Up Your Referral Network Club
Dance CardTo 100 (Or More) Listings
After all, the power of this concept is in the number of service professionals that can refer
business your way.
OK, so far, so good.
But what next?
Simple: you send aslightly amended versionof the letter above to all the new service
professionals that get added to the list by your initial contacts. And so on and so forth. So the
membership list of the referral network club...
Grows... And Grows... And Grows!
And, as the self-appointed leader of the referral network club (or whatever name you
decide to call it) you stay in regular contact with all the member service professionals. And you
do so by sending each member an updated (and hopefully growing) list of service professionalsthey can give referral leads toand receive referral leads from.

I recommend you send out an update list every monthand do so consistently. Consistency
is the key here.
Is that all you do?
Its up to you. But I say: that is the very leastyou do.
If youre smart you will provide each service professional on your list with a number of other
membership perks.
For example, you could send each service professional (along with the monthly updated
membership listing) some kind of pertinent information that will... oh I dont know... how
about...
Show Those Service Professionals How To
Get Even MoreClients For TheirBusiness
But how do you show a service professional how to get more clients (and hence more
revenue) for their business?
A particularly good way is by offering actionable marketing advice via a monthly printed
newsletter.
But hang on a minute.
What if, you yourself, dont feel qualified to be offering marketing advice? And, what if, you
yourself dont want to do all the grunt work each month to produce a here-how-to-do-it
marketing newsletter?
Hmm?
I know. I got an idea.
Why not record a telephone interview with one of the member service professionals each
month on their area of expertise and then...
Make That Expert Of The Month CD (Or MP3 Download) Available To All The Other Referral Network Members
One month you could interview an accountant on how business owners can legitimately
reduce their taxes.
The next month you could interview a financial planner on how business owners can set up
living trusts to protect their wealth.
The following month you could interview a virtual assistant on how business owners can
reduce their employee overhead by outsourcing their administrative work.
And so on, and so forth.

This way, you (as the group leader) are providing valuable content to the group... youre
increasing the probability each expert you interview will generate direct (and referral) business
from the group... and... because youll be making the service professional you interview look
good (and helping them stimulate more business), the law of reciprocitywill kick-into-gear
and the person you interview will feel compelled to refer business your way.
You could also do a monthly teleconference for the groupdispensing, say, good, solid
marketing information each month... demonstrating your expertise in the process.
Any pray tell, what do you imagine would happen if you build a dance card of service
professionals (as I have outlined above)... and... you regularly dispense good solid info to all
those service professionals?
The answer, in case you havent guessed, is you will very quickly become known by
hundreds (and perhaps even thousands) of other service professionals (and all their legion of
clients) as...
THE Person To Hire For The Services You Provide
And because you will let it be known you offer generous rewards for any referrals that turn
into paying clientsyou will suddenly have an extended colony of referral savvy service
professionals on-side who will eagerly channel referral leads your way.
Which, as Im sure youll agree...
Is Just About As Close As You Can Get
To Marketing Heaven!
Have I covered every singlestrategy I know of to generate referrals for your business?
No. There isfar moreI could tell you about referral marketing.
However, the take away lessons for today are:
1) A systematic referral marketing process cuts down your advertising and traditionalmarketing expenditure (thus saving you money).
2) It allows you to charge higher prices for your servicesafter all, once you have asystematic referral marketing process in place, your services are suddenlyperceived
to be more professional and exclusive.
3) It frees up your time. So you're more relaxed, creative and you can devote moretime to developing and honing your specialist skills and expertisethus making
yourself more valuable...for which you can, once again, charge clients higher fees!
4) When you set out the "ground rules" for your client relationship in the beginning(with the expectation you'll be asking for referrals) -- it forces you to "up your
game"... making it even more likely your clients will turn into "groupies" who will"trumpet" your business to all and sundry! And

5) When the economy is lethargic and people are extremely cautious about spending(risking) their moneyits more important than ever to have a systematic referral
marketing process in place.
And thats just to name a few reasons to set up a systematic referral marketing process foryour business.
Bottom line:
The overriding real benefit (to you) when you have a systematic referral marketing process in
place is
You Suddenly Go From Having To Continually Be In
Hard-Slog "Selling" ModeTo Transitioning Toward The More
Relaxed "Order Taking" Mode
Which is a whole lot more fun (and profitable!)
Finally, it should go without saying but, if you want existing clients to refer business you
wayyou mustfirst satisfy them (even astonish them) with your conduct and service.
Warmly,
Michael Silk.
