18. Our Proven Methods When Asking For Client Referrals
You are so busy getting your client's results that you forget to ask for testimonials and referrals. Are we right??
In this episode, we're going to walk you through some of our best examples on how to ask for testimonials and referrals without feeling awk-o-taco.
Shocking: It starts in the sales process. Simply ask your client if they'd be happy to give you a testimonial if you get them the results they're looking for. From there, you've set that expectation from the beginning and they'll see the ask coming!
Step 1: Are Your Clients Happy?
Happiness Surveys — What to include:
Video Ask
Typeform
Step 2: Make the Referrals Rain
When you acquire a customer, and they love you, it's your job to get referrals for your agency. If you're doing a great job, your clients should have no problem spreading the word. Bonus! If you assign this to your client account manager, you don't have to worry about remembering to ask for referrals!
Now that you've asked them if they're happy (see Step 1 above) and they've given you a testimonial—you're in. Simply ask and/or offer something for a referral.
Option A: Discount for Referral
Option B: If a discount is not in the cards for you, just ask for a referral!
If you focus first on making your clients happy, then asking for referrals— your business will naturally grow without having to stress about where your next client will come from. Sounds pretty great, eh?
