Unleashed - How to Thrive as an Independent Professional

287. David A. Fields on how to ask clients for a recommendation


Listen Later

David A. Fields is back on the show, this time to help me answer a question from listener Caroline Taich, who asked for best practices on what steps to take at the end of a long project to:

1) hand over deliverables

2) ask for recommendations and referrals

3) stay in touch with key individuals you've developed relationships with over the course of the project

We cover all three topics, and I found particularly helpful David's approach to asking for a recommendation.

I recommend that every consultant sign up for David's weekly blog posts: https://www.davidafields.com/blog/
