Most businesses will tell you that a majority of their new customers come by way of referral, but few have a systematic way of getting those referrals.  They simply either happen or they don't, and businesses treat it as something that is outside their control.  My guest for Episode 269 of the podcast, Steve Gordon, takes a different approach.  Listen to the episode to hear his foolproof strategies for dramatically increasing the number of referrals you get for your business.

Recently, my sister and brother-in-law visited my wife and I in southwest Virginia.  During their visit, we took them on a self-guided wine tasting tour where we visited three different wineries in the area.  At the first two, the four of us spent an average of $50 per person.  At the third winery, we only spent $5 each.  In this episode, I talk about the things that the last winery did and didn't do that caused us to spend so little money there, in the hopes that you won't make the same mistakes.
