Do you have any referrals for your business? Ever thought that referrals could be a business development tool? Wondering what exactly a referral is? In this two-part podcast, Matt and Dan speak to Stacey Brown Randall, the referral guru. Stacey’s first business only had 1 referral and it failed. In her second business, and after years of researching successful businesses she realized referrals was the key. Stacey began using the power of referrals and today she gets 100 referrals for her business every year! Now, her mission is to help others avoid business failure. In this episode, Stacey covers 2 steps of her 5 steps on how to get referrals without asking! Stacey’s online programs and live coaching provide a blueprint to follow to take control of your referrals, your client experience, and your business (or book of business). Stacey is a contrarian when it comes to typical referral advice and believes the best way to unleash a referral explosion is to do it WITHOUT asking for referrals (and she has results to prove it). Stacey is a three-time entrepreneur, certified productivity and time efficiency coach, has a background in sales and marketing and is an aspiring author.
