The discussion focuses on giving back more value than received and shifting the referral mindset towards heart-led engagement. The episode also encourages listeners to explore Larry Levine's book, Selling in a Post Trust World, and access his exclusive podcast series to dive deeper into these themes.KEY TAKEAWAYSImportance of Referrals: Referrals are an opportunity to build authentic relationships rooted in trust, not just a tool to generate sales.Being Referable: Ask yourself, “Are you referable?” Maintain trustworthiness and consistently provide value in all relationships.Engaging Centers of Influence: Collaborate with key centers of influence, such as attorneys, to create mutually beneficial business opportunities.Heart-Led Sales: Approach all sales and referral activities with a heart to give, focusing on genuine relationships over transactions.QUOTES TO REMEMBER"You don't build trust when you're always asking and taking, but you do build trust when you get beyond yourself." – Mike Garrison"Are you referable? Do you provide value? Will you bring the relationship back better than it left?" – Mike Garrison"If you want referrals as a sales rep, the people you work with want them too." – Darrell Amy"A big percentage of your client base comes from other financial advisors; I'll never ask you to betray a professional relationship that gave you a client." – Mike Garrison"Find out the areas in their business they want to accomplish, bring in your centers of influence, and watch what happens." – Larry Levine"Have a heart to give in every interaction—whether with customers, centers of influence, or the person next to you on a plane." – Darrell AmyCONNECT WITH MIKE GARRISON:Mike's LinkedIn.FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION:Darrell Amy's LinkedInLarry Levine's LinkedInSelling from the Heart websiteADDITIONAL RESOURCES:Order Larry Levine's book, Selling in a Post-Trust World:Get it on Barnes & Noble and access exclusive content!SUBSCRIBE to our YOUTUBE CHANNEL!Stay updated with the latest episodes and leadership tips: Selling from the Heart YouTubeGet Your Daily Dose of Inspiration:Click Here for Your Daily Dose
