15 Reasons Referrals Are the Best Way to Grow Your Practice…

  1. Referrals are authentic. They’re not paid advertisements. They’re a true reflection of your awesome…ness.
  2. Referrals build reputation…and reputation builds referrals. The chicken and egg of this relationship is phenomenally powerful for your practice.
  3. Referrals cost virtually nothing in comparison to other new client marketing sources
  4. Clients from referrals have greater confidence and belief in your practice & capabilities
  5. Referred clients are prepared to pay more for your services if you’re clear about who is your ‘ideal’ client
  6. Growing your practice through referrals is much more fun than ‘selling’ your services to prospective clients who’d never heard of you
  7. In times of economic uncertainty, referrals keep working – at no cost
  8. Every referral is a message from your client that you’re doing a good job
  9. Delighted clients who advocate your services are the best ‘sales force’ a practice can have
  10. Each time a client gives you a referral, you have a chance to make them look awesome, too
  11. Once you’ve created a self-perpetual flow of referrals, you eliminate the anxiety of winning future business. Then you can become more selective about the projects you take on.
  12. Clients reduce their risk of a ‘bad hire’ when they rely upon a referral
  13. A voice message, text or email is far more likely to get a reply if you’ve been referred
  14. A positive claim from a third party about your practice is far more powerful than any claim you can make
  15. Unlike the results of many forms of marketing and advertising, your referrals can be tracked
