Referrals are powerful but what happens when they dry up? In this episode, Emma explores how founders can mitigate risk in their businesses by shifting from dependency on word-of-mouth to building a strong, sustainable social media presence. Every business, whether it's product-based or service-driven, faces risk when it comes to lead generation. While networking, events, and referrals remain valuable, they shouldn't be the only sources of growth. Emma highlights why relying solely on personal connections puts your time and business health at risk, and how social media can serve as your 24/7 partner in building trust, nurturing audiences, and expanding visibility. Social media doesn't just attract new clients. It also supports referrals by reinforcing credibility when prospects research your brand online. By the end of this episode, you'll see how social media marketing can be the key to protecting your pipeline and scaling with confidence.
