Show Notes: Evan Polin, founder and operator of Polin Performance Group, talks about how his firm helps professionals in the service industry build their businesses and grow their practice. He helps them get in front of their ideal clients, make sure they're not giving away their expertise for free, and qualify opportunities more quickly. He also helps them take a strategic approach to problem solving and use their expertise to close more business with the kind of clients they'd like to work with. Evan provides professional services firms with sales and business development advice. He starts with a diagnostic, using the Harver behavioral-based assessment tool. This gives him a 35-page report on the client's strengths and weaknesses in sales and  business development. He asks about the client's goals and what kind of practice they want to build, how much revenue they'd like to develop, and what their mix of clients should be. He then puts together a customized business development plan to help the client reach their goals. Strategy to Leverage Your Contacts Evan helps individuals and businesses reach their goals by breaking down the process scientifically. He typically starts with helping them understand how to get in front of the right opportunities. He also helps with issues such as people feeling like they are being used for free consulting, and those not getting as many referrals as they think they should be. He helps them leverage the relationships they have already developed, and figure out the most effective way to use them to get introduced to the right people and focus on the right opportunities.  To get in front of opportunities, he advises clients to first sit down and think about what their ideal client looks like and whom they need to target within an organization, and what the engagement looks like. Furthermore, he suggests leveraging their relationships and current context to start by downloading their LinkedIn connections into a CSV file. This file can then be separated into three categories - A list, B list, and C list. A list contacts are those who are more likely to get back to the consultant within a week. The B list is composed of contacts who may take a bit longer to respond, while the C list includes those who may not respond at all. Cold Outreach Tips and Using Sales Navigator Evan talks about reaching out through telephone calls and emails. He explains how to be  successful with cold outreach, and suggests that it is better than making a cold call but cautions not to set expectations too high as the response rate would still be low. Common best practices include sending a message that introduces the person and their role, and mentioning any connections they might have in common. Evan explains how to use Sales Navigator to manage the outreach list of contacts. Evan suggests sending messages to carefully selected prospects, and paying attention to who is looking at your profile. He also suggested filtering out those with less than 500 connections, as they are likely not active on the platform. Polin highlights the importance of understanding the psychology of sales and marketing, and how it can be used to target the right people. He also mentions that if someone views your profile, but does not respond, it is worth reaching out again in a week or so.  Evan suggests ending the message with an open question in order to get a response rate. Evan added that he often sends a short version of his elevator speech, which outlines the biggest challenges he helps people with and then inquires which of those things the other person is running into. This is done to see if the contact is responsive and to see if they are a good potential prospect. Reaching Out to Past Contacts Evan talks about how he reaches out to people he served in the past in order to get referrals. He suggests to start by reconnecting with them, asking how they have been and what has changed. He also suggests sharing what he is currently working on, and to ask them if they know anyone who could be a good introduction for him. Evan also suggests that if someone has referred him in the past to remind them of how they first started working together. When it comes to following up, Evan suggested to follow up two to four weeks later and to keep a spreadsheet with the date of outreach and the result of the outreach. He has found that, recently, a call is regarded as more personal and people are more likely to respond. He also talks about reaching out through email and effective subject lines. How to Leverage Relationships for Referrals Evan explains that most people don't ask for referrals. If it's a current client, he suggests asking how satisfied they are with the service provided. He finds that if he shares information about his business, it allows him to present a broader range of services and plant the seed for future referrals. He also suggests the kinds of clients that would be a good fit. He also puts a timestamp on the conversation to see how interested they are in offering the referral. He also offers tips on how to reach out to contacts on LinkedIn who don't really know you. A 20% response rate is considered a good result and he stresses adding a bit of nuance to the message to show that it is coming from a real person and not a bot, offers a handy tip on using your profile to determine interest in your outreach, and how to reach out to and follow up with potential clients with whom you have no connections and/or do not return your messages, and when to put them on the back burner.

Stacey Brown Randall is the multiple award-winning author of Generating Business Referrals Without Asking, host of the Roadmap to Grow Your Business podcast and national speaker.Stacey teaches business owners how to generate referrals naturally… without manipulating, incentivizing or even asking.   She has been featured in national publications like Entrepreneur magazine, Investor Business Daily, Forbes, and more. She received her Master's in Organizational Communication and is married with three kids. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Stacey Brown Randall discuss:Understanding that referrals aren't about you Being genuine and practicing gratitude Creating a good client experience Going into a prospecting meeting with the right mindset Key Takeaways:The first step to getting more referrals is to understand how referrals even happen. Referrals aren't about you, it's about the referral source. If they understand the problem a person is facing and they know that you can solve it, they'll refer the person to you. Be genuine and always put the heart of the relationship first and foremost. Also, you must always remember to express gratitude when somebody refers you. Send a handwritten thank you note, not an email or a text message that can easily be forgotten or buried in their inbox. Work on the experience that you give to your client. Don't ask for direct referral, instead, give them a referable experience. Do good work and work on the relationship. Have the right mindset when going into a meeting. There's a big difference between the mindset of “I want this person to hire me” and “I want this person to adore me, help me, and refer me.”  "Until you can impact how they feel about you. You certainly can't direct how they think about you." —  Stacey Brown Randall See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Stacey Brown Randall:  Website: http://www.staceybrownrandall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/staceybrownrandall/?hl=enLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/staceybrandallFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/staceybrownrandall Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Growing your referral business isn't always a comfortable or easy process. While you can play the build-it-and-they-will-come game, we all know that getting referral business requires active planning and execution. 85 percent of small businesses say word-of-mouth referrals are the number one way new prospects find out about their businesses. In addition, one advocate marketing firm found that referrals have a higher conversion, close faster, and have a higher lifetime value. Evidence like this makes it clear that a referral process will keep your business growing. Gather your referrals and reviews with a talented MyOutDesk Virtual Assistant!

Would you like to know how to generate double, triple or even quadruple the number of business referrals you receive each year, without having to ask (or beg) for them? Our next guest helps her clients do just that. Stacey Brown Randall is the multiple award-winning author of Generating Business Referrals Without Asking (https://amzn.to/2H9C78M), host of the Roadmap to Grow Your Business podcast, and national speaker. She has had the privilege of helping well-known corporations and franchises but her focus is on small business owners and solopreneurs in the real estate, financial, and professional services industries. In today's episode we talk about how “asking” for referrals is not only uncomfortable but is ultimately an unsustainable practice. She built her methodology by using her own coaching company as a guinea pig, and knew she was on to something when her clients were even more interested in her referral generating methods than in her coaching services. She also reminds us that it is important for all of us to incorporate business development, every single day. Stacey has been featured in national publications like Entrepreneur magazine, Investor Business Daily, Forbes, CEO World, Fox News and more. She received her Master's in Organizational Communication and is married with three kids.   Listen in! https://www.staceybrownrandall.com https://www.LinkedIn.com/in/staceybrandall/ https://facebook.com/StaceyBrownRandall/ https://www.instagram.com/@StaceyBrownRandall/ https://www.twitter.com/@staceybrandall/ …………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

We've talked about niching in the past and it's something we are exploring at Array Digital and at our new company, Rival Digital. The riches are in the niches. What's been especially interesting is a pattern: when you niche down, you plant the idea in everyone's head of what specifically you are going after. If they happen to hear of someone who needs that particular service, they automatically think of you. In this episode, you'll hear several examples where that's happened with Erik and the people in his network. — Erik J. Olson is an award-winning digital marketer & entrepreneur. The Founder & CEO of Array Digital, he is also the host of the Journey to $100 Million Flash Briefing and daily podcast, and the organizer of the Marketers Anonymous monthly meetups. — Kevin Daisey is an award-winning digital marketer & entrepreneur. He started his first company when he was just 23, and is the Founder & CMO of Array Digital.

Fresh off the heals of Podfest 2020, and Episode 208 (Top 10 things to Generate Referrals from a Conference), one suggestion to grow the show was to create bonus episodes. I'm not going to do these very often, probably when I have a non-legal topic (like today). To refresh: Goals- had two of them and accomplished both.  Tools - my shirts, stickers, books, and business cards. Never Eat Alone - I never did. Party After the Party - made some great connections outside of the conference sessions. Conference App - definitely used and engaged with this tool to increase my visibility at the conference. Tag Team Networking - thank you to my partner, Madison Thayer Visit Vendors - did this, got some cool SWAG Hobbies - created and ran in the Podfest Meetup Run Club 5k Schedule a Meeting from the Meeting - I have a ton of podcast interviews coming up in the future. Break Out of Your Comfort Zone - Podfest Jam Bank was AMAZING! Bonus - I spoke for the third year in a row, with ideas for Podfest 2021. Bonus Content links:  Episode 208 Learn From Others Podcast The Collector Car Podcast Six Degrees Dunedin Podfest Multimedia Expo Selling Sarasota Podcast The Reporting Live Podcast Thank all.  Please let me know if you want more bonus content.

A confession - I miscounted and thought that today’s episode would be Episode 200 of The Crushing Debt Podcast, so when you listen to that episode next week (please subscribe to the show - its free), it will sound like it was supposed to be released today. Therefore, for Episode 199, I thought I’d talk a bit about networking.  Where do I network, why, and what are some different ideas I have to generate referrals for my network? Admittedly, the idea for today’s show came when I heard two different people that I respect, at two different events, both bash the networking group that I’ve been a member of since 2004 - BNI. I know there are some who bash the organization, and maybe it has earned some of the negative publicity. However, for me, BNI has been a huge benefit, generating roughly 40% of the law firm’s revenue year over year, consistently for the past six or seven years. Aside from that organization, and as we start 2020, what are your thoughts on Networking?  What group(s) do you belong to and how do you decide which groups to join and how to participate?  I would appreciate your feedback at Shawn@YesnerLaw.com or www.YesnerLaw.com. Again, please remember to subscribe if you don’t already. It is free and you can subscribe wherever you listen to the show!

What we think becomes what we believe, and what we believe factors into how we act and how we behave and our attitude to things. And so if you want to do it you have got to have some belief. You can be scared, you can have some concerns, but if you want to do it you had better think that you can or you had at least better know that you are capable of figuring it out because there is no easy button in being an entrepreneur, and it is going to be hard, and it's going to give you lots of joy and lots of freedom and lots of fun but it is going to come with his own mixed bag of a lot of stress and strain and you have to be willing to overcome the mindset that will hold you back, and the people that will hold you back when they don't understand what you are doing.

Every business needs referrals, but how do you go about getting them? Do you offer people incentives? Do you even ask for them at all? All will be revealed by our guest this week… Stacey Brown is an absolute referrals guru. Having worked in sales & marketing and run two of her own businesses, she now has a full-time business coaching people in how to best achieve referrals, and guess what: she gets a good portion of her own business through referrals too! See below for some great tips from Stacey: **  Never ask for a referral. Your referrals-gathering system is more likely to be sustainable in the long term if it doesn’t rely on you having to continually raise yourself to ask for them. **  However good your product/service might be, your business will never work unless you can attract new clients. **  Think of every client as a potential referrer. You must connect with them at a human level while you are delivering their service. **  Be memorable and meaningful. There are certain parts of the referral process you can automate but you must drive it with genuine meaning from the top. **  Have 3 business development plans. A prospecting plan, a marketing plan, a referral plan. **  Remember if you haven’t spoken to someone for a while you need to tread carefully with your opening language. **  Make sure you write a hand-written thankyou note for every referral you receive.   In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn: **  How to attract referrals without selling your soul **  How good companies fail to get referrals **  How to deliver a truly personalised client-management experience **  The 5-step referral generation plan **  How to understand your referral sources **  How to speak to a client who is giving you poor referrals   Resources mentioned in this episode: **  Ben’s free business planning template: http://www.maxmyprofit.com.au **  Stacey’s special freebie for BBF listeners, “The Seven Deadly Sins of Generating Referrals” can be downloaded here **  The Business Brain Food Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessbrainfood **  All previous BBF episodes & show notes can be found at http://www.businessbrainfood.com.au **  Twitter: https://twitter.com/bfewtrell   Call to action: According to Stacey, the average business can hope to attract 30% of their new business from referrals if they get their process right.
