In this 930 Advantage session, Helen tackles one of the most common myths in business growth — that referrals alone can sustain your pipeline. While they’re valuable, referrals are unpredictable and can’t be relied on as your sole strategy. Instead, Helen reveals how to build a system that generates them consistently.

You’ll learn her four-part referral strategy:

1. Ask for them – Overcome the awkwardness, time your request right, and combine it with asking for testimonials and case studies.
2. Run referral events – Create online or in-person events that give value to clients and their networks while introducing potential new customers to your services.
3. Reward your clients – Use incentives like discounts or gifts to encourage referrals, and make sure clients know about them.
4. Leverage social proof – Share testimonials, case studies, and useful content that clients can easily pass on to their networks.

Helen also shows how these four strategies can be combined into a repeatable process that keeps referrals flowing, and why having a consistent system beats relying on “word of mouth” alone.
