What is a Referral?
Business“Referrals are the best kind of business”
Ivan Misner
Natural“Receiving is the natural result
of giving” Bob Burg
Predictable“The referral process is a system that has a lot of feedback built into it. If you follow it for every referral, you will get predictable results: more closed business deals and a
never-ending supply of referrals” Ivan Misner
Open“The key to effective giving is to stay
open to receiving” Bob Burg
8 Steps“Your source discovers a referral. Research
the referral. Check back in with your referral source. Meet with the referral. Report back to your source. Your source gets feedback from the referral. Your source reports back to you.
Close the deal” Ivan Misner
Primary“keep your referral source in the loop and out of trouble. Making them look good is a primary objective, perhaps even more
important than the immediate sale” Ivan Misner
Use the Power of
Testimonials
Give Away“Referrals are very powerful. When I
refer you, I give a little bit of my reputation away”
Ivan Misner
Reputation“If you do a good job, my friend that hired you is pleased. But if you do a bad job, that reflects badly on me.
People forget that” Ivan Misner
Build Your Power Team
Powerful“Social Capital can be even more
powerful than financial capital in terms of eventual return on investment”
Ivan Misner
Credibility“Referrals aren't given easily. If you
don't take the time to establish credibility, you're not going to get
the referral” Ivan Misner
Help“To be successful with business
networking, you should understand that it is really about helping others as a way of growing your business”
Ivan Misner
Friendship“A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded
on friendship” John D. Rockefeller
Action“Take action every day. It doesn’t have to be dramatic action, but
every day, stick with it” Phillip Humbert
Givers GainIvan Misner
