Not everyone is born a salesperson. Some get uncomfortable with referrals or having to decide instantly on our actions. We value space and need a reasonable time to think before we can carefully plan and execute our next steps for the business. But if you take too long, how can you get your customers to multiply themselves? In this episode, Steve Gordon shares his expertise in referral marketing. He also discusses how to make a “referral kit,” a powerful marketing strategy. He shares some practical tips on how budding entrepreneurs can deal with the challenges they might face. Steve also talks about how you can create the reality you want for your business. About Steve Steve Gordon is the founder of The Unstoppable CEO and the author of Unstoppable Referrals: 10x Referrals Half the Effort and The Exponential Network Strategy. He helps business entrepreneurs make leveraged marketing systems intending to lessen their time in dealing with the technical side of the business so that they can focus more on the essentials. Unstoppable Referrals: Get Customers to Multiply Themselves Steve's Background Steve was trained in the technical field and went to an engineering school. He was 28 years old when he became CEO of a consulting firm. They did not have an organized system of getting referrals. This sparked his interest in marketing, to get customers to multiply themselves. He only learned by experience. He started with direct response marketing. The firm grew, and he enjoyed getting involved in the marketing and sales aspects. He then decided to focus on that side. Biggest Challenge in Marketing The biggest challenge that he was able to conquer was starting the firm that he is currently running. He thought that starting his own company would be easy. But figuring everything from scratch is his toughest challenge. Overcoming Challenges to Get Customers As entrepreneurs, persistence is vital. You need to be unstoppable. You will continuously encounter things beyond your knowledge and control, but you need to keep on slogging until you find the right path. Steve keeps in mind what he wants to create. He stays consistent and persistent until he moves closer to his goals. Advice For Starters The first problem that needs to be solved is how to get customers. One of the ways to do this is through getting referrals. Referral marketing boils down to two things; first is asking a lot, and second is following up for that client or referred prospect. Not all people are comfortable asking for referrals since not all are born as a salesman or saleswoman. How to Have Unstoppable Referrals Steve was able to narrow down the problem with referral marketing. People are uncomfortable going to a sales meeting, especially with those they do not know personally. He suggests that the sales meeting should be removed in the first step of the process to open the flow of referrals. It can lead to lowering the barrier, and the door remains open for referrals. They can use “the referral kit,” which includes all the necessary information about the business. It gives the person a space to decide whether to avail of the products/services or not. The Referral Kit: Tool to Get Customers to Multiply Themselves The kit is client-specific and has four parts. First, you need to determine who their ideal client is. It will not work if you are targeting a broad category. Second, you need to identify the problems a prospective group of potential clients is facing. Likewise, identify the possible opportunities that may be available for that group. Third, talk a little bit about the solution. Fourth is “the next step offer,” which is not an offer to sell the product or the solution. Instead, it gives the customer a possible option for their next step. Often, that will be the sales meeting. Biggest Hurdles and Greatest Milestones Steve became a CEO at age 28. He had a lot of success in the previous industry he was in, and he has won several awards. Although that is the case, he felt that he was playing a small game back then. It took him ten years to grow so that he can play a bigger game. If you are in the entrepreneurial world, you have the gift of freedom and the gift to share. It would be best if you were realistic. But at the same time, THINK BIG. Common Mistakes of Entrepreneurs One of the mistakes entrepreneurs commit is how they use their time. The one who uses his day most effectively wins. Try not to do a lot of things at the same time but maintain focus. Favorite Quote “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” —Calvin Coolidge Resources Unstoppable Referrals: 10x Referrals Half the Effort by Steve Gordon The Bible The 8020 Principle by Richard Koch The Breakthrough Principle of 16x by Richard Koch For more insights about Referral marketing, connect with Steve through the Unstoppable CEO's website.

What You'll Learn From This Episode: Difference of selling advice in selling your product How focusing your referrals is the foundation of all of your marketing Getting a system that drives referrals Related Links and Resources: If you go to www.unstoppableceo.net/sbs, they can go there and download the book, a short book, about 45-minute read, combine using a book and using a podcast to exponentially and continually expand your referrals Summary: Steve Gordon is the author of five books, including the Amazon Business #1 bestseller Unstoppable Referrals: 10x Referrals, Half the Effort, and Podcast Prospecting: How to Land High-Ticket Clients with a Podcast. He's the host of The Unstoppable CEO™ Podcast and has appeared on over 100 podcasts. His firm helps digital agencies, consultants, and expertise-based businesses systematically attract more clients Here are the highlights of this episode: 1:25 Steve's ideal Client: Our ideal client is any business where you're hired for your expertise; consultants or sometimes consulting firms. Anyone who is really delivering their advice and their expertise as their product. 1:53Problem Steve helps solve: The big problem that they have is that selling your advice is very different in selling a product, because 'you' are the product. You have to be the salesperson typically and then run into a phone booth and put up your superman suit, come back out and save the day for your client. It can be very hard to make that transition from salesperson to trusted advisor. And so, what we do is we help our clients build systems that pre-sale their prospects so that when they arrive, have a sales conversation and they have already decided that you're their guy, they made the important choice and all you got to do at that point is work out the charms of the deal. 2:50Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Steve: If you're lying awake at night at 2 o'clock in the morning in the dark with a little cold sweat beating off out of your body and you're worried because you don't know where the next deal is coming from, then we maybe should talk. That's usually when it kicks in for people. 3:33What are some of the common mistakes that folks make before finding Steve and his solution: The biggest is what I call 'dabbling'. When it comes to marketing and business development, people tend to hear about the latest and greatest thing, right now TikTok is on the rage, and before that it was Instagram, Snapchat or LinkedIn, you name it. Today there are more options for you that there have ever been in the history to promote your business. Your biggest risk is that you have an abundance of choice. What we see happen too often is that businesses get caught dabbling in a little bit of this and that, or a little bit of the other thing, and they never really master any those channels for business development. Most of the companies we worked with, they're landing very high-ticket engagements, they don't need a thousand or 10,000 clients in a year, they need the right dozen, two dozen or three dozen. And solving that problem is very different than trying to get that thousand or 10,000, so you can do that very effectively by focusing and mastering one or maybe two channels. 4:58Steve's Valuable Free Action (VFA): The best place to start is to focus on your referrals; that is to me the foundation for all of your marketing. And before you try to go and do anything more elaborate than that, get a system in place that drives referrals. And the one thing that you can do today is sit down and think about the types of information that you need to convey to a potential client to get them to a point that they want to meet with you or somebody on your sales team. These are things that you likely already have around. Compile that together or what we like to say 'package it' into what we called a referral kit.

He’s the host of The Unstoppable CEO™ Podcast and has appeared on over 100 podcasts. His firm helps digital agencies, consultants, and expertise-based businesses systematically attract more clients Here are the highlights of this episode: 1:25 Steve’s ideal Client: Our ideal client is any business where you're hired for your expertise; consultants or sometimes consulting firms. Anyone who is really delivering their advice and their expertise as their product. 1:53Problem Steve helps solve: The big problem that they have is that selling your advice is very different in selling a product, because 'you' are the product. You have to be the salesperson typically and then run into a phone booth and put up your superman suit, come back out and save the day for your client. It can be very hard to make that transition from salesperson to trusted advisor. And so, what we do is we help our clients build systems that pre-sale their prospects so that when they arrive, have a sales conversation and they have already decided that you're their guy, they made the important choice and all you got to do at that point is work out the charms of the deal. 2:50Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Steve: If you're lying awake at night at 2 o'clock in the morning in the dark with a little cold sweat beating off out of your body and you're worried because you don't know where the next deal is coming from, then we maybe should talk. That's usually when it kicks in for people. 3:33What are some of the common mistakes that folks make before finding Steve and his solution: The biggest is what I call 'dabbling'. When it comes to marketing and business development, people tend to hear about the latest and greatest thing, right now TikTok is on the rage, and before that it was Instagram, Snapchat or LinkedIn, you name it. Today there are more options for you that there have ever been in the history to promote your business. Your biggest risk is that you have an abundance of choice. What we see happen too often is that businesses get caught dabbling in a little bit of this and that, or a little bit of the other thing, and they never really master any those channels for business development. Most of the companies we worked with, they're landing very high-ticket engagements, they don't need a thousand or 10,000 clients in a year, they need the right dozen, two dozen or three dozen. And solving that problem is very different than trying to get that thousand or 10,000, so you can do that very effectively by focusing and mastering one or maybe two channels. 4:58Steve’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): The best place to start is to focus on your referrals; that is to me the foundation for all of your marketing. And before you try to go and do anything more elaborate than that, get a system in place that drives referrals. And the one thing that you can do today is sit down and think about the types of information that you need to convey to a potential client to get them to a point that they want to meet with you or somebody on your sales team. These are things that you likely already have around. Compile that together or what we like to say 'package it' into what we called a referral kit.

Most businesses will tell you that a majority of their new customers come by way of referral, but few have a systematic way of getting those referrals. They simply either happen or they don't, and businesses treat it as something that is outside their control. My guest for Episode 269 of the podcast, Steve Gordon, takes a different approach. Steve Gordon is the author of Unstoppable Referrals: 10x Referrals, Half the Effort, and his latest book, The Exponential Network Strategy. He’s the host of The Unstoppable CEO™ Podcast and has written over 400 articles on marketing for service businesses. Through his firm, he helps service business entrepreneurs create leveraged marketing systems so they can spend less time on business development, and more time on what matters most. In my interview with Steve, we discuss the following: Why aren't you getting more referrals? Why do most formal referral programs not work very well? What role can networking groups like BNI play in your referral efforts? Three top tactics for foolproof referral marketing
Steve Gordon is the author of Unstoppable Referrals: 10x Referrals, Half the Effort, and his latest book, The Exponential Network Strategy. He’s the host of The Unstoppable CEO Podcast and has written over 400 articles on marketing for service businesses. Through his firm, he helps service business entrepreneurs create leveraged marketing systems so they can spend less time on business development, and more time on what matters most. At age 28, Steve Gordon became the CEO of an engineering/consulting firm. It was baptism by fire… Steve knew nothing about marketing or selling services. His firm got all its business by word of mouth, and they enjoyed a healthy, growing business. But they never knew where the next client was coming from, or when he/she would arrive. Steve spent countless nights staring at the ceiling at 2 am, worried about when the next client might come. So he began studying sales and marketing. Twelve years later, after growing that firm’s revenue by 10-times, Steve started his second business, consulting with businesses across 30 industries—including manufacturing, professional services, construction, and consulting—to design sales, marketing, and referral systems for high-ticket/high-trust products and services. Today he continues sharing his expertise with clients across the world, opening their eyes to their unique growth opportunities and helping them build the right systems to attract their ideal clients. What you’ll learn about in this episode: How Steve started out as an engineer and made CEO in four years, and how that experience taught him to run a service business How Steve has shifted his focus to helping service-based business owners, and why he chose the word “unstoppable” Why Steve believes that persistence is the most important factor in finding your success in a service-based business What important lessons can be taken from Steve’s latest book, “The Exponential Network Strategy” What networking opportunities can be found in participating in podcasts and sitting down with other business leaders How reciprocal networking works, and how it can be mutually beneficial for adding value to your audiences How to leverage a podcast or a mailing list to effectively promote yourself to all of your contacts Why LinkedIn is an excellent tool for networking, but only if you utilize it correctly Why it is critical to building a solid team with the skills that can support your efforts Why it is so important to be intentional in your business and to keep your priorities in order Additional resources: Website: www.unstoppableceo.net/onwardnation/ Unstoppable Referrals by Steve Gordon: https://amzn.to/2E0jr7e The Exponential Network Strategy by Steve Gordon: https://amzn.to/2N2IdXj

On today’s episode, Steve Gordon gets real about how business owners can not only systemize networking but more importantly, how to “nail” the follow-up. Who in business hasn’t fallen down on that piece? Steve is a master of clarity and systemization, and that’s what he and his team help business owners achieve surrounding their messaging, processes, assets and goals. His goal is to help “old school” marketers, especially ones selling services, make the transitions into “new school” scalability. If he hadn’t been there himself wondering where his next check would come from while he was trying to grow his own business, he would not have such a successful system to share today. Between his two books, The Unstoppable CEO podcast, and his willingness to divulge some expert networking secrets, there’s plenty of actionable advice for any CEO looking to take the leap forward.

In this episode, Steve Gordon, author of Unstoppable Referrals, discusses how he uses Reverse Prospecting on LinkedIn to get more referrals from his clients in an easy and risk-free way. Key Takeaways! Referral marketing boils down to 2 main points (3:53) You need to ask a lot more people for referrals, even if it is uncomfortable. You need to follow up for a long time with those referred leads. To combat this uncomfortable action of asking your customers for referrals, Gordon came up with Direct-Response Marketing. By using lead generations and using information to his advantage, Gordon created a way to get referrals more easily with no risk to those who you were asking for the referral. (5:44) With LinkedIn, you can teach your clients how to use a technique called Reverse Prospecting. This is where you work with your existing clients and offer something that is valuable that could be given to your client's business partners or friends. After they agree that they have people who need this offer, you go on LinkedIn with them, deciding who your client thinks should receive this valuable item. This way, you get a ton of new prospects that will fit the niche that you are looking for, and it is less taxing then asking for a list of referrals from your client because you are doing it with them. (9:30) People WANT to be served by you, and it is your duty to reach as many people as possible, so don't be afraid to try Reverse Prospecting in your business. Remember, your best clients come from your best clients. (14:37) To find more information about Steve Gordon and his business, visit UnstoppableCEO.net.
