If this is your referral reality, then you know that chasing leads that don't fit your target client can be a grand waste of everyone's time and energy. The primary reason for this affliction though is that most small business owners and independent professionals don't take the time to educate their referral sources.
The typical referral request may go something like, "Know anybody that needs what we do?" "Okay, I know lots of people, here you go. Have at it!"
The solution to this is really quite simple. I've created a tool I call the Perfect Introduction, as part of my Referral Flood program. The Perfect Introduction is a document (although is can take many forms including a web page) that contains answers to the following questions:
How would know if I spotted your ideal client?
Describe, in great detail, the type of clients you work best with. This step will help assure that you get highly qualified leads and make it easier for your lead source to think of prospects that fit a narrow description.
What would I say to best position your business?
Give your referral source the exact words you would like them to use when introducing your products and services to prospective referrals. Give them a simple, memorable way to explain the benefits you have to offer. Remember, many of your best referral sources may not be actual clients who can talk eloquently about your brilliance, give them your core marketing message so that the expectation they set remains consistent. Business Prosperity And Feng Shui
Whilst it is clear that not everyone is destined to own and run a business and certainly there are a lot of budding entrepreneurs entering the world of business today.

Another factor that can impact on the degree of business success that you experience is – Feng Shui.Feng Shui is the force that is said to be able to influence your destiny. It i

Travel a lot on business?Wish you could breeze into a town with a briefcase and laptop and have an office ready for you? That’s not as farfetched as it sounds. Not if you know about executive suites and how they operate.Executive suites is a term used to describe rental offices in cities all over the U.S. and abroad. They are also referred to as ‘shared office space’. However, neither the term ‘executive suites’ or ‘shared office space’ really describes what this unique form of office space is all a

"Bodacious" means to be bold, outstanding, and remarkable. Take those attributes to work and you're on your way to building a fulfilling, bodacious career. Does having a bodacious career sound exciting to you? It is! After starting as an $8 an hour customer service rep, I rose through the ranks of AOL, accepting four promotions and surviving over six layoffs to become the head of corporate training for 12,000 employees. Along the way I learned I needed to be bodacious to achieve the career I wanted. Out of that ex

To begin, we call upon the clarity of our niche target market, and make sure we've got the decks cleared of any doubt or fear that might be trying to sneak in. Then we set up a system for what we offer, how we speak about what we offer and how we create relationships with those that want to work with us (aka, gain the commitment).This system is of UTMOST importance. You would be surprised how many people ‘wing it.' Now, with that being said, it's also important this system is natural to you-that's why YOU need to
How can you add value to my relationship with a referred lead?
This is a multi-answer question. Show your prospective referral source what you do to make them look good and outline any offer you might have cooked up to reward and motivate your referral sources. By the way, money isn't always the best referral motivator. Showing appreciation, helping referral sources meet their goals, and making referral sources look good are all powerful motivators.
What do you do with the leads you receive by way of referral?
Outline the exact steps you take when you receive a name or introduction. This step allow the referral source to get comfortable with your marketing process. Everyone has some fear that the referred party may abuse the relationship by hard selling or calling every night at dinner time. Put these fears to rest by outlining your very educational approach. (That is your approach, right?)
Now that you have your Perfect Introduction document in hand you can go out there and confidently let the world know that you are someone they can feel great about referring.
Another very powerful aspect of this tool is that often, even if you don't realize it, you are in competition with others who are seeking referrals. CPAs, for instance, are heavily targeted by service professionals seeking referrals. With your referral process outlined in a very professional manner, you will stand out in the referral competition for some of the best potential referral sources.
