This hits home. This skill allowed our company to hit our first $1 million last year and 5x our Clients LTV . Keep up with the great you're doing!!

[Genius_Studiosca]

This is perfect advice for those who have already established clients and business. But in the act of expanding you approach them in thia way to possible gain more work. Its a very good free alternative of getting into a networking group too. Rather than joining a bni or something similar. I do the same with my clientele only for the ones that i really enjoy working with.

Great insights on the power of reciprocity in networking

[EcomCarl]

Establishing genuine relationships and understanding the principle of reciprocity can indeed transform how potential clients connect with your business. 🔑

[blueskyguy]

Financial Advisors work on referrals. Some of the best advise, a sign that states Referrals are Welcome…no need to ask

[AnAverageNoLife]

So my question is... how can I best help someone if I don't know anyone yet, in terms of referring them to anything outside of what I do. What if you're that early in your entrepreneurship journey and moved somewhere totally new 😅 I'd love to be able to help outside of my own expertise at times.

[PowerPlusNature]

Not desperate. Just hopeless. Gotta have customers to ask for the referrals.

[Coolman]

Is "asking" for client referrals necessary ? that should come from them without asking

[vladarodic]

How insecure are those clients that are asking for referrals, you don’t want to work with them at all

[cinnocencesinema]

Need, desire, ask.
"i hope youve enjoyed the work weve done and its hq work. I'm expanding my practice. would you need additional work or have someone else who could benefit?"

your need statement
your desire statement
your ask.

people are cliqued, can ask for the work.

their identity system.
helping people craft messaging.
what is it you do?
what value do you provide?
who are you talking to?

do i like them?
can they afford me?
do i want to work with them?

reciprocity comes after the idea of "keeping it in the family."

when you genuinely help someone, they feel indebted to you.
