It's merely a matter of confidence. In the absence of confidence is doubt, uncertainty and fear. Asking clients to give you referrals is mostly a matter of your confidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;So, how do you gain confidence?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Know your "script."&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;The more&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;certain&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;practiced&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;you are with your approach to get clients to talk about introductions, the more confident you will be. The more confident you appear, the better response you will receive from your clients. Be comfortable with your words and practice them until it feels natural.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Know where you want to take the conversation.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;A classic mistake most financial professionals make when asking for referrals is that they make it a totally one-sided conversation. "Who do you know who I can help?" The client usually draws a blank and the conversation fizzles. It's better when you have a place you'd like the conversation to go. Make it a collaborative conversation. "Can we brainstorm for a couple of minutes about who you think should know about the important work that I do? In fact, I have a couple of ideas I'd like to run by you, just to see what you think."&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7475578733043411844-346869040341851229?l=educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~4/lzvhgDH3t90" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~3/lzvhgDH3t90/getting-confident-with-referrals.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (JAFP)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com/2011/03/getting-confident-with-referrals.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475578733043411844.post-1509302232340022838</guid><pubDate>Sun, 13 Mar 2011 04:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-12T20:44:34.473-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Referral Tips</category><title>A Check List to Get More Referrals</title><description>&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://goldenmarketing.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/03/04/introduce.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="227" src="http://goldenmarketing.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/03/04/introduce.gif" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Have and use a systematic approach to stay in touch with your clients to continue to build value and build business friendships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Talk to your clients about how you will handle the referrals they might send to you. Ensure them that everything you discuss is completely confidential, and that you take a very soft approach to this process. You will handle their referrals with great care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Teach your clients why introductions are necessary these days. Explain that people procrastinate with financial work and that you have found it very important to be able to reach out - appropriately - to gain their attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;When you ask for referrals, don't just throw open the whole universe to them by saying "Who do you know who I can help?" Come prepared to either brainstorm - with several names and categories, or come with 1-3 very specific introductions you'd like to obtain. "How do you feel about introducing me to your uncle Ernie?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Discuss what the client thinks they need to say to their friend, family member, or colleague. "What do you think you need to say to George to pique his interest in hearing from me? How do you think he'll react?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Do not be overly persistent with your new prospects. After you leave one or two emails or voice mails (a combination of no more than two), and you haven't heard back, get on the phone with the referral source and discuss your next course of action. If your clients perceive you as being to assertive with their friends and family, they will stop giving you referrals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;See if you can attend meetings and events with your clients to gain in-person introductions. Many of your clients belong to trade associations, community service groups, and hobby groups. Tell your client you'd love to learn more about their industry or interest, and ask if you can tag along as a guest.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7475578733043411844-1509302232340022838?l=educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~4/RDHUXRDQw0k" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~3/RDHUXRDQw0k/check-list-to-get-more-referrals.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (JAFP)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com/2011/03/check-list-to-get-more-referrals.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475578733043411844.post-5397399050089177600</guid><pubDate>Sun, 13 Mar 2011 04:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-12T20:40:32.655-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Referral Tips</category><title>Get Referrals Without Asking</title><description>&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Here's a checklist of strategies &amp;nbsp;you can use to make sure you are doing everything possible to get more referrals - with or without asking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ask good questions. You provide value through the questions you ask.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Always lead with value. If you look to provide value at every turn, you will build trust and become more referable from the very beginning of any new relationship.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Always tell the truth. It's not always easy to question a prospect or client's assumptions. It's not always easy to deliver the bad news. Doing so, however, will build trust, loyalty, and referability.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Always, always, always, discuss expectations in your relationships. Do this early and often. How can you meet your clients' expectations if you don't know what they are?&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Communicate your value proposition to prospects, clients, and centers of influence confidently, clearly, and succinctly. As Leo Pusateri would ask you, "Are you a black belt in how you articulate your value?"&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Build business friendships with your clients. Create a relationship that goes beyond the core business you do together. People do business with and give referrals to people they like.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Create and USE a client-service promise that guides you as to when and how you stay in touch with your clients. They will appreciate you having this model and sticking to it.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Promote referrals. There are many ways to do this. Here's one, say to your clients, "I'm never too busy to see if I can be a resource for your friends, family, and colleagues."&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Use this checklist to make sure you are doing everything you can to get referrals without asking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7475578733043411844-5397399050089177600?l=educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~4/COgkpGLGEMs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~3/COgkpGLGEMs/get-referrals-without-asking.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (JAFP)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com/2011/03/get-referrals-without-asking.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475578733043411844.post-5018153746741763290</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Mar 2011 04:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-06T20:33:06.231-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Referral Tips</category><title>Getting Referrals Requires the Right Perspective</title><description>&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;In a practice genuinely focused on clients rather than on production, referrals make all the difference. In the best interests of both, you'd better let your clients know it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Of course, that word "genuinely" can be a stumbling block. Ostensibly, we all have our clients' needs foremost in our minds, right? But it's so much more than that. It means setting your mind on considering only what's best for the client, not because it's expeditious for the business, but because of the benefits to the people you serve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Many advisors wrestle with this concept. They struggle to make decisions that would be best for clients because they just seem to think of themselves. That's endemic in a sales culture where it feels as if the prime directive is to get something from someone else. Even today, when "consultants" and "full service" and "financial planning" are the rage and, therefore, you'd think the emphasis would be on giving something of real value to clients, the thrust of most training for financial professionals is how to influence people or, more plainly,&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;how to get something from everyone you meet&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;In the midst of a persistent production mentality, the Trusted Advisor stands out as being honestly able to put other people first, even if it means asking them to do something that may appear to be more "work," such as meeting in the advisor's office instead of their home. It doesn't matter that prospective clients have to do more than they would if the advisor just accommodated them. Instead, what matters is that the best possible experience for the client comes from just a tiny bit more effort on the client's part. What's a thirty-minute drive in the context of someone's entire financial future?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;I'm not writing this article to instruct you in what to say to people to get them to put in more effort. My point is that the way you do business should, in every instance, reflect your sincere desire to put the client first. One of the most important areas where this must hold true is in gathering referrals. Don't wimp out on this critical business practice, which is instrumental not only to your own professional success, but more importantly to the quality of service you can provide to your clients.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;With the "get something" mindset, asking for referrals can take some serious chutzpah. After all, you just earned thousands or tens of thousands of dollars from insurance and investments and planning, and there you are, with your hand out, asking for more! "Now that you've given me all your money, can you introduce me to a bunch of people so I can take their money, too?" Only the most hardened salespeople can pull that off without sounding embarrassed to be asking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Worse, some salespeople tie referrals to compensation. You know the script: "I get paid two ways-by commission (or fee) for taking care of you and your money and by referrals." Referrals are not about the number of ways you get paid.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;It is not about you, period.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;A business that finds future clients by referrals instead of prospecting and marketing simply does a better job for its clients. The act of asking for referrals should be the reason why people should give them to you in the first place. It's better for them if they do. For example, it's as if you were running a country club, and you asked members to invite friends to become members. This way, instead of coming up with clever ads and spending money on billboards, you could focus on finding and training the best chef so members can have great meals, the best golf pros, so members can improve their game, or the best masseuse so members can relax, Then they will spend money on things that will benefit them, such as grounds maintenance, beautiful furnishings, and so on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;In a country club, it's a given that there are an optimal number of members: enough to secure adequate revenues, but not enough to make tee times impossible to get. The management knows it, and the members know it, and they both work to get to that number as quickly as possible so that the management can focus on nothing but members' comfort and enjoyment of the club. You get the point.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;You can use this analogy in talking to your clients about referring their friends, colleagues, and family to you. But beware, if you're starting to see this as a way to "position" referrals, you're shanking the ball. Salespeople will see this as a "great line," but for Trusted Advisors, it's not a line at all. It's what they know to be true. If you tell your clients that you need their referrals for their benefit and you don't really believe that, they will know it. As a result, you will either get crummy referrals or none at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Follow the referral process that Bill Cates teaches you (The Referral Advantage Program®). Don't deprive your clients and strategic alliances of one of the finest feelings they can have - referring people to you that need your services. Expect that they will give you the names of everyone they know who fits your ideal client profile. If you expect two referrals, you will probably only get two referrals. What would happen if you expected to get 24, 33, 47, or whatever number you pick? You will get more when you expect more. Remember, it's not about you, it's about them. Don't be a salesperson; be a Trusted Advisor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7475578733043411844-5018153746741763290?l=educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~4/wBePOXedp8M" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~3/wBePOXedp8M/getting-referrals-requires-right.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (JAFP)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com/2011/03/getting-referrals-requires-right.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475578733043411844.post-6475528176751795828</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Mar 2011 04:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-06T20:29:36.037-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Referral Tips</category><title>3 Simple Referral Reminders</title><description>&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Here are 3 simple referral reminders and some NEW tools to help you acquire more and better clients through referrals:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Are you as referable as you need to be? Do you have a robust process that you put all your prospects through? Is your process referable? Are you getting referrals from prospects and brand new clients just because they grew - just a little - from the process you put them through? I urge you to review this initial process yearly - making it as timely and as valuable as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you enhancing your referability over time? Do you present your Client Service Promise to your clients and then live up to that promise? Are you reviewing this promise (on your own or with your team) at least once per year to make sure it's the best you can do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you coming to your meetings prepared to ask for referrals or are you just winging it? Coming prepared builds confidence. Come prepared by knowing what you're going to say (your script or track) and where you want to take the conversation (people and categories to suggest).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7475578733043411844-6475528176751795828?l=educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~4/RzpexjXGcjU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~3/RzpexjXGcjU/3-simple-referral-reminders.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (JAFP)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com/2011/03/3-simple-referral-reminders.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475578733043411844.post-1210654727063395118</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Mar 2011 04:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-06T20:26:40.944-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Referral Tips</category><title>8 Tips for Staying in Touch with Referral Prospects - Part 2</title><description>&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Here are 4 more ideas. No magic bullets here, but some sound ideas for you to use.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;# 5 - Create a Flow of Value&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;I believe that a critical element in keeping referral prospects in your pipeline is the concept of "always adding value." We must continue to look for ways to add value to the relationship in various ways. If you aren't looking to add value with each phone call - and even between phone calls - then why are you even contacting them? You can't keep calling them and saying, "Are you ready to meet with me now?" or some similar question.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Most effective prospectors work several contact strategies at the same time. For instance, you might put your prospects on a list to receive your monthly newsletter or weekly financial tips. Electronic methods have their place, but aren't usually enough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;At Referral Coach International, we've created a VIP List of about 200 high level prospects, clients, and Centers of Influence. Every other month we mail (yes, regular mail or sometimes UPS) them something of value. Over the years, we've mailed books, audio CDs, DVDs, reports, lists, etc. (Note, I'm not restricted by the compliance regulations that most of our readers are, but there are many sources for these items that are "compliance friendly.")&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;I highly recommend you work with your staff, manager, team members, and colleagues to create a matrix of various ways you can drip value to your prospects over time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;# 6 - Set Aside Phone Prospecting Days or Slots&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;I've found it quite helpful to make appointments with myself to call prospects. I schedule time on my calendar and treat it just like an appointment with a prospect or client. In fact, it really is an appointment with a prospect - a bunch of prospects. When I schedule follow-up calls with various prospects, I try to funnel them into the slots I've already set aside for such calls, whenever possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;The key here is to truly honor these appointments with yourself. If you have a busy practice, it's easy to get distracted, or allow a little bit of "call reluctance" to interfere with this critical behavior.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;#7 - Go for the "No"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;While I believe in being professionally persistent with referral prospects, I don't like to beat a dead horse - so to speak. If my prospect shows interest and responds favorably to my continued contact, I remain in touch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;When I have a prospect who seems to have no interest, I usually do one of three things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;I stop contacting them and free up my time to focus on generating new prospects and serving my current clients.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;I look for other ways to be referred to them again. When I have a prospect that I know I can help and/or represents a large amount of business for my company, I look for other people to refer me to this prospect again. Many times I've found someone else who knows this prospect and ask them to put a good word in for me. This is often all it takes to get the prospect active again.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I go for the "no." This is a technique I learned from the late, great sales trainer Dave Sandler. When I have a prospect who keeps putting me off, I say something like, "George, please tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm getting the impression that we may never have the opportunity to do business together. Do you think that's true?"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Sometimes my prospects say, "Yes" and I'm free to pursue others. And sometimes, my prospect lets me know they are still interested and often reveal new information that allows us to keep the relationship alive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;#8 - Use Events to Connect with Referral Prospects&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Over the years, I've run into a few financial professionals who use events as ways to remain in contact with prospects. These events can be educational (value added) or fun (building rapport and trust through social interaction).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;For example, Russ is a financial advisor near Houston. Since he's quite adept at generating a steady flow of referral prospects, he always has an "inventory" of prospects he just can't seem to meet with or move the relationship forward. So, he hosts social events (like wine tastings) just for these prospects. No clients allowed - just referral prospects. At his last event, he had 19 referral prospects attend and 7 of them moved forward to become clients. Brilliant!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;While I don't have the magic bullet or the perfect formula for you, I hope you found some ideas you can implement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Remember! Ideas alone do not make you more successful. Acting on ideas makes you more successful.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7475578733043411844-1210654727063395118?l=educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~4/28edQ9Q8y7g" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~3/28edQ9Q8y7g/8-tips-for-staying-in-touch-with_06.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (JAFP)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com/2011/03/8-tips-for-staying-in-touch-with_06.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475578733043411844.post-7873130663980520665</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Mar 2011 04:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-06T20:23:52.688-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Referral Tips</category><title>8 Tips for Staying in Touch with Referral Prospects - Part 1</title><description>&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;# 1 - Keep the Referral Prospect in the Loop&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;One unique quality of a prospect you obtained through a referral is that there is a third party involved in this effort to bring value to this new prospect. Of course, referral sources (Clients and Centers of Influences) vary in their "investment" in you. It's always a good idea to keep these folks in the loop when doing business with the prospect. When you have difficulty making contact with the prospect, these folks can often help you along. If you have trouble piquing the interest of the prospect, sometimes the referral source can come to the rescue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Obviously, you need to be careful about revealing any proprietary information that you may have discovered about your prospect. Also, you need to be diplomatic about other information. However, keep the referral source as an ally in this process and use them when you can.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;# 2 - Keep Good Records&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;I don't know about you, but whenever I don't keep good records of my conversations with prospects, my efforts to remain in touch are ineffective and seem to fizzle. Relying on my memory just doesn't cut it. How about you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;To "keep the sale alive" we must be in the habit of keeping good records of our conversations. We have to have enough detail so we remember the flow of our conversation. If we can't remember what we said or they said on the last call, we - most likely - won't feel comfortable picking up the phone. It will be awkward. We won't know how to add value. The prospecting process dies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;#3 - Pre-Plan Your Next Step&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;One solid habit I've been able to establish is the habit of planning my next contact either before I finish the call with the prospect (something we figure out together) or right after the call ends. Sometimes, especially when the prospect is actively interested, but there is a timing issue, you can work with them to determine the next time and reason for the next call.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;I like to plan the time and strategy for the next call while that conversation is fresh in my mind. I record my ideas in my call notes and everything comes back to me as I prepare for the next call.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;#4 - Have a Solid Reminder System in Place&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;What system do you use to make sure no prospects fall through the cracks? I hope you have one. And I hope you're not relying on a paper system anymore. Okay, paper systems have worked for thousands of years, but I think you should take advantage of all the efficiencies computers and smartphones offer in this area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;After each call with a new prospect, I plan my next strategy, I figure out the timing. Then I set an alarm on my computer that pops up the reminder at the appropriate time. In this way, I can let go of that prospect - for the time being - knowing that no one will fall through the cracks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7475578733043411844-7873130663980520665?l=educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~4/1tYbowBPMgI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~3/1tYbowBPMgI/8-tips-for-staying-in-touch-with.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (JAFP)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com/2011/03/8-tips-for-staying-in-touch-with.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475578733043411844.post-430153597888082104</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Mar 2011 04:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-06T20:20:39.663-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Referral Tips</category><title>One "Secret" to Closing More Business and Getting More Referrals</title><description>&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Is this really a "secret" or just an under-utilized strategy? You decide for yourself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;When someone decides to become your client, there is a huge emotional component to that decision. As they make their decision they are thinking (and feeling) "I think I can trust her" or "I feel I can trust him." A "buying decision" is always emotional at its core. Therefore, in your efforts to convert a prospect into a client, you have to address the emotional aspects of the decision process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;I believe the same is true for getting referrals. When someone, a client or Center of Influence decides to give you referrals, it's just like a "buying decision." There is a huge emotional component.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Therefore, it is important that you employ a strategy to make sure you trigger this emotional component in a very positive way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Why Do You Do What You Do?"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;In past newsletters, I've mentioned the work of my colleague&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103413470410&amp;amp;s=58008&amp;amp;e=0010DwF2EqVtsJqALrlySFbAr6vdJY3Y7nqJj-Gg4dL_xny710oOJXJh6A-zqz_H-_sIIyX5RQ_JCUkPDDvD-zYRFJa9EIiUxHLvs2muW_6vR01hLYlEpGcpJjBD56-ylOh" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Leo Pusateri&lt;/a&gt;. Leo is the master at helping financial professionals identify and articulate their value proposition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;One thing I learned from Leo is the power of the "why" you do what you do. This simple conversation will activate the positive emotional reaction necessary for someone to decide to work with you or give you referrals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Therefore, it is imperative that you bring this topic up early in your conversations with your prospects and Centers of Influence. Since most people will not ask you why you do what you do, I suggest you insert it into your conversations. For instance, you could be describing your process or client service promise to a new prospect or COI and then say, "Let me take a minute to tell you a little bit about&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;why&lt;/u&gt;I'm in this business."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;And, of course, if someone&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;does&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;ask you this question, I suggest you have an immediate, confident, and succinct answer. With any hesitation on your part, credibility could be lost.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sample Script&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;As promised, here are two sample scripts as to how you might describe "the why." There are as many variations to this answer as there are financial advisors. Use these to stimulate your thinking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sample Script 1&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"George, that's a little bit about what I do and how I do it. I'd like to tell you&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;why&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;I'm in this business. I've found that - for most people - there is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;gap&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;between where they are and where they'd like to be in terms of their confidence toward their financial future. I enjoy helping my clients close that gap in their confidence, so that they feel more organized and in control of their financial lives."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sample Script 2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Sue, allow me to tell you why I love my work. When I first got into this business, I did it because I enjoyed working with finances - investments, insurance, and such. I also knew I could have a little more control over my time - so I could go to my kids' activities. But it didn't take me very long before I realized how much I truly helped my clients. I saw so many people getting bad advice or no advice at all. You see, money intersects all aspects of our lives. Because of this, I've found that the work I do has a positive impact on all aspects of my clients' lives. This is a very rewarding profession."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Do I expect you to use all or some of this wording? Of course not! Use what you like, if anything and discard the rest. Better yet, write your statement from scratch and from your heart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Please don't finish reading this issue and say, "That's a good idea, I should do this at some point." Rather, block some time on your schedule - right now - to get this done. Try it a few times and feel the energy in the room change. You'll be sold on this strategy - as I have.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7475578733043411844-430153597888082104?l=educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~4/GM82VpvSunk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~3/GM82VpvSunk/one-secret-to-closing-more-business-and.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (JAFP)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com/2011/03/one-secret-to-closing-more-business-and.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475578733043411844.post-8764558639425786779</guid><pubDate>Sun, 06 Mar 2011 05:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-05T21:15:39.743-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Referral Tips</category><title>Narrow Your Focus to Get More Referrals</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;You bring more value to your niche prospects and clients.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Niche prospects see the value more quickly and want to work with you. Niche clients experience your value and you become more referable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;You can create a reputation more easily in a niche.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Most niches/affinity groups have formal and informal ways of communicating with each other. The more referable you are (the value you bring) and the more they know you are targeting their niche, the easier it is to grow your reputation and get your phone ringing with great prospects.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;You can identify all the players.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;In many cases, it's easier to identify potential prospects in a niche. For instance, using today's internet search tools, you can easily identify all the owners of a business in a specific industry. You can identify all the high-level executives in a specific company.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Now back to the question.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;While women in general may not be a very good niche, you can build a great business staying with woman, but being more specific. For instance, I have met several - very successful - financial professionals who have had great success targeting divorcees and widows. This is not ALL women, but a subset that usually have a great need for a good financial professional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Because there are no associations or clubs (that I know of) for these women (maybe some support groups, however), it's a bit harder to identify and contact this type of prospect. If you're lucky enough to have a client of this type who belongs to some sort of organization that is populated by divorcees and/or widows, then you might be able to speak at some meetings, create some seminars, and write for their publications.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Another way to get more focused with this niche is with women business owners. There are many things I like about targeting women business owners. The main reason is that woman, in general, and business owners, in general, usually play the referral game more willingly and more frequently. I know of one successful financial professional in New York who says he averages 2.5 referrals per male client and 27 referrals per female client. Now that's some pretty good numbers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Unlike widows and divorcees, it's much easier to identify your business-women prospects. There are many associations of woman business owners (like NAWBO - National Association of Woman Business Owners - they have local and regional chapters). In addition, they have many types of gatherings, events, publications, causes, etc., that you can leverage to build your reputation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Many Kinds of Niches&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Of course, there are many great niches. I've seen what I'd call "micro-niches" that can be great and even a fun way to build a business. Here are a few standard and creative niches:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Physicians&lt;br /&gt;2. Surgeons&lt;br /&gt;3. Dentists&lt;br /&gt;4. Small Business Owners within a narrow industry group&lt;br /&gt;5. Owners of Corvettes, Porches, BMWs, etc. (they have clubs)&lt;br /&gt;6. Horse owners (they have clubs and associations)&lt;br /&gt;7. Dentists that ride Harley Davidson Motor Cycles (Yep! They exist! A narrow and fun niche.)&lt;br /&gt;8. Employees (or executives) within a certain large company in your area&lt;br /&gt;9. Retired individuals from a specific company or industry&lt;br /&gt;10. Teachers&lt;br /&gt;11. Salespeople&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some Action Steps to Get Started&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;The 4th section in my new book,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103387118278&amp;amp;s=58008&amp;amp;e=0014uitJXdOW8bPRyErE2YM0YbgLU4XUFA9Yebg1xofYcUoZ8cDAz9IRbmgFDH8x0LKW5_yF3_ydmiRWgp-FZFvNdOS-vF1mrq8X7u-IfyRDE4uJvsZOau53bwRJFsP0UlQXjwloKEtM7OwM9VUCUXnKj9sPD_dfYCNaWjqeDEqBXo=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Get More Referrals Now!&lt;/a&gt;, I lay out an entire plan for how to leverage a niche. Here are just a couple of those tactics:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;If you've been thinking about creating a niche to target, one way to start (among others) is to look at your existing client base. You may have 2-3 clients in the same grouping. Could this be the start of your niche? You may have a client with whom you really like the type of work you do. Could he/she the first member of your niche?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Meet with some of these clients and tell them you are thinking about working with more clients like them. Compliment them by saying something like, "I really enjoy the type of work we've been doing and truly believe I can help other people like you. Can I take you to lunch to learn more about the association you belong to and if your industry (substitute words as necessary) might be a great match for my work?" These are informational interviews designed to help you understand the niche and how to approach it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt; &lt;li&gt;When you ask these types of client for referrals, get them to think within the parameters of people like themselves. Let them know you are focusing on people like themselves. Ask if their group, club, association, ever brings in speakers. Do they have a newsletter you might contribute to from time to time?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;If you want more referrals, simply target a niche or affinity group. If you're a veteran advisor, you may already have a kind of niche working and you just need to formalize your approach. If you're new in this business, going after a niche can be a great way to kick start your referrals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Most financial professionals - and small business owners in general - are afraid to go after a niche. The fear is that if they just focus on this niche, they'll miss all the other opportunity.

Stay true to them and maximize them, and you will be pleased with your results. It just so happens that the three strategies begin with the letter 'C.' Perhaps this will make these easier to remember. Of course, I'd love to visit your firm - live or via my video program - when you're ready.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Confidence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Any success we have implementing a new strategy or tactic boils down to confidence. In the absence of confidence is fear, doubt, uncertainty - lack of action. The more confident we feel about a certain action, the more likely we will take that action and have success. So, success with referrals, all aspects of the referral process, is about confidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Therefore, it is your job to continually improve the confidence of your advisors related to referrals. Here are a few actions you must sustain over time to build the confidence of your advisors, and the outcome will be a strong referral culture:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;li style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Script Writing&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;- Require your advisors to write their scripts related to planting referral seeds and asking for referrals. Have them write them "conversationally" by imagining a real client in front of them. Have them read their scripts out loud and tighten them up.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Practice / Role Play&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;- Practicing will refine their scripts; allowing the advisor to feel and sound natural when talking about referrals. When should they stop practicing? Not until they have mastered their scripts. Amateurs practice until they get it right. Masters practice until they can't get it wrong.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;li style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Role Modeling&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;- To build the confidence of your advisors, make sure you and/or all of your managers master the art and skill of referrals. Demonstrate it to your advisors. Ask for referrals when you cover appointments with your advisors (unless you've agreed the advisor will ask).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Consistency&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;To build a thriving referral culture in your firm, promote consistency of action. You must resist distractions that keep you from the plan. You must help your advisors sustain consistent action.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Here are a few ways to help with consistency:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;li style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Set Achievement Goals&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;- Ask your advisors to set an achievement goal of how many new clients they'd like to gain between now and the end of the year. This goal must be a stretch (not a goal that they'd reach anyway) and it must be realistic enough that it serves to motivate them. (By the way, I recommend your advisors have this sort of goal year after year, in their business plans.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;li style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Set Behavioral Goals&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;- Now that they know how many new clients they'd like through referrals, they have to determine the behaviors necessary to reach this goal. These become their daily/weekly/monthly behaviors designed to produce results.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;li style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Track Behavior and Results&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;- Don't wait until the end of the goal period to see how they are doing. By then it's too late. Monitor their behavior on a weekly basis. See where their restrictions are. Coach them on how to remove those restrictions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Accountability&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;- Actually everything mentioned above contributes to holding your advisors accountable for the behavior necessary to generate a steady flow of referrals. Quite often, managers are uncomfortable holding advisors accountable. They take what advisors say at face value and don't probe more deeply to learn "what really happened" on a particular appointment. Give your advisors the GIFT of an excellent expectation. The more you expect from them - in a supportive manner - the more they will expect from themselves - and deliver!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Courage &amp;amp; Celebration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;If you're going to create a "culture of accountability" I suggest you balance that with a "culture of celebration." At formal meetings and/or informal gatherings, celebrate the referrals that people are generating. And you don't have to wait for advisors to get referrals to celebrate. Celebrate the asking for referrals (and promoting referrals). Hold contests and other promotions - on going - to elevate the status of referrals and create an atmosphere of fun around referrals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Help your advisors tap into their own personal reservoir of courage. Take success stories and turn them into teaching opportunities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Building a thriving referral culture is not an easy thing. It requires a strong focus - sustained over a long period of time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;"&gt;If you do not yet have a thriving referral culture, don't blame your advisors. It is the leadership team that creates the culture that will allow your advisors to thrive with referrals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7475578733043411844-2939741889580676259?l=educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~4/5zqiLUqzZ7w" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~3/5zqiLUqzZ7w/3-strategies-for-stronger-referral.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (JAFP)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com/2011/02/3-strategies-for-stronger-referral.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475578733043411844.post-5402002085320841800</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Feb 2011 04:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-11T20:06:17.836-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Referral Tips</category><title>7 Words to Help You Close More Sales</title><description>&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;I have a very quick tip for you this week. However, don't let the brevity fool you. Use this tip regularly and you'll see your production rise. Send me your "thank you" emails when you do!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;When you get on the phone with a prospect or a client - or meet with them in person - do you have a desired outcome for the call or meeting that is very clear? Clear intentions tend to produce clear results. Vague intentions tend to produce vague results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;For the rest of your career, before you get on the phone with a prospect or client, before you meet with them in person, think of these 7 words, "What's my desired outcome for this meeting?" (Or phone call.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Would you agree with me that when you have a clear desired outcome for a phone call or meeting you're more likely to make that happen? The key word is "clear." Do you know exactly what you want your prospect or client to do as the result of your interaction? And if you do, do you create an agenda for the call/meeting that is likely to get you the result you desire? Do you craft the right questions that will get your prospect or client thinking in the ways you desire - and that are in the prospect's or client's best interest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7475578733043411844-5402002085320841800?l=educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~4/qfeEP_WAxuU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~3/qfeEP_WAxuU/7-words-to-help-you-close-more-sales.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (JAFP)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com/2011/02/7-words-to-help-you-close-more-sales.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475578733043411844.post-1412464916324294423</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Feb 2011 04:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-11T20:04:51.804-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Referral Tips</category><title>One Simple Strategy to Get Referrals</title><description>&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;One truth is a standout above all others: Advisors who give referrals tend to get referrals. Advisors who don't give referrals, tend not to get referrals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Are you a connector? Are you looking for ways to make connections for others and for yourself? It's possible some of your clients could be doing business with each other or just might enjoy each other's company. Do you present yourself to your clients (and others) as a "resource"? Are you paying attention to other consultants, advisors, professionals, and small business owners who represent services and products that you may be able to bring to bear on your client relationships?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Give Referrals Properly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;How you give referrals has a direct impact on how others give referrals to you. Here are two "rules of thumb" to follow when giving referrals:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Give referrals carefully.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Make sure the service/product provider you are referring is a competent and trusted resource. Take a little time to insure a good match.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Make strong connections.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Don't just give out names and phone numbers and hope the parties connect. Make sure the connection goes through. Giving out names and phone numbers is a nice gesture, but no value has been transferred until the connection goes through. When I give a referral, I always create a reminder that pops up in Outlook a few days later to make sure the parties have spoken.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;When you take the time and effort to make sure the referrals you give get connected, others will do the same for you. How you give referrals models how others should return the favor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7475578733043411844-1412464916324294423?l=educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~4/v4OPDNpHixk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PowerfulTrafficGenerationTips/~3/v4OPDNpHixk/one-simple-strategy-to-get-referrals.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (JAFP)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://educational-trafficandeverything.blogspot.com/2011/02/one-simple-strategy-to-get-referrals.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475578733043411844.post-5597168413348536350</guid><pubDate>Sun, 06 Feb 2011 03:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-05T19:57:14.725-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Referral Tips</category><title>How to Build a Referral Network Utilizing Social Media</title><description>&lt;div style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px;"&gt;Social media is a great medium in which to build relationships, trust, friendships, business contacts and most important to the readers of this blog, referrals! The best marketing for your business is other people saying good things about your business, thus referring them to you. This is why building referrals is key.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do you best accomplish this utilizing online social media?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px;"&gt;Your first step is to start by being social. You need to talk to people and then add something of value to their lives. Do not try to sell them your product or service. Once people get to know who you are and find you trustworthy, they’ll be more likely to be interested in what you have to offer. Make them want to find out more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where are the best places to build referrals in social media?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-indent: -10px;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 7px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/" style="color: #0066cc; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk, share, add value&lt;div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-indent: -10px;" type="circle"&gt;&lt;li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 7px;"&gt;Update&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 7px;"&gt;Communicate&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 7px;"&gt;Find more people&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 7px;"&gt;Wash, rinse, repeat.

If you aren’t adding something, what can you take away? Leave the members of your network with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;the desire&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to tell others about you and your business. Create raving fans; don’t be a sales man, be a service man.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px;"&gt;This article was written by Kim Fenolio.

The sales people who get to the top know that success all about networking. In order to network effectively you must ASK for what you want and also scratch some backs in return. One of the best networking elements is asking for referrals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;I think most would agree that referrals are a great way to grow business.

Ask Every Client.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Make it a habit to ask every client if they know someone who could use your services. Explain to your client how this is a win for them too. The less time you spend on marketing, the more time you can spend on helping clients with their needs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Be Specific&lt;/b&gt;. When you do ask for a referral, don't be shy. Let people know exactly what type of clients you are looking for.

Get Contact Information and a Personal Introduction&lt;/b&gt;. If a client gives you a name, ask for a way to contact them and ask for a personal introduction.

Have some fun prizes like the winner gets his car washed by the person with the lowest referrals. Or it could be just a simple free coffee.
