Referrals

[jammintj]

Everyone knows referrals are a great way to generate new customers and sales. For people who refer people to your business, how do you reward them? Or don't you? Do you have a referral system in place? Are referrals a vital part of your business and do you have a plan developed to get more referrals? Just curious what people do.

Since my company doesn't charge anything extra to have Brand Partner status and a business builder pack is optional I encourage people who just want to be customers to be Brand Partners in case they happen to refer people. That way they can take part in what I like to call a fast cash referral program with no strings attached.They are then rewarded by the company and of course get a big thank-you from me

Awesome Rachel! I'm still devising up a referral program thingy... What is everyone else doing?

Yes give something to those who do referrals for you that become potential recritsd for your business or customers. I do small rewards for my people who do referrals for my jeans business and they get a $25 off gift card from me to use on a new pair of jeans!

I have found that one of the best way to reward people who give me referrals is to also ask them about their job or business and refer people to them.

No one is keeping score, but I always notice that when I give my barber, yard maintenance person, or anyone else a referral that the good favor comes back to me.

How do you get people to refer customers to you please?

I think Testimonials are a great way to get referrals. I am a jeweler with Fifth Avenue collection and I use social media such as Facebook , Twitter and others. I am always posting in these websites about different subjects but if you want a testimonial you usually need to request them from your customers. I kindly ask them to comment on any of my posts and by doing this I generate interest in my products.

Good luck!.
