In the home services industry, many contractors deliver high-quality work but struggle to leverage satisfied customers for growth. Yet, we know that more than 50% of leads come from referrals. The challenge lies in post-sale engagement, as gathering referrals and building a strong reputation often falls to busy sales reps or technicians who quickly move on to the next job. Without a systematic approach to harnessing word-of-mouth marketing, businesses miss the opportunity to turn happy customers into brand ambassadors, relying instead on costly acquisition channels like paid advertising.Landon Taylor, Founder & CEO of Snoball, addresses this gap with a platform that automates referral management, review generation, and reputation building. Snoball empowers businesses to take control of their word-of-mouth marketing and unlock the true potential of their customer base.Expect to learn:Why most companies struggle to generate steady referralsHow automation keeps brands top-of-mind for customersThe key difference between reputation management and reputation marketingHow Snoball fills the gap left by service repsSteps to build a sustainable, word-of-mouth growth strategyDon't miss this insightful conversation with Landon Taylor, as he shares his expertise and proven strategies for transforming the way businesses approach customer acquisition and retention.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalusMentioned in this episode:CPS July 2024 V2

From my archive, a great conversation with Denise Praul If a prospective customer is introduced to you by someone they trust, you're far more likely to close that sale than if they stumbled upon you on Google. That's the beauty of referral marketing, and it goes beyond traditional word of mouth. But how do you create a system that consistently brings in high-quality referrals? That's what this conversation is all about. 1. Referrals = Borrowed Trust When someone is referred to you, you're borrowing the reputation of the person who made the referral. This is a game-changer because the new client comes in with a built-in level of trust that makes closing the sale much easier. They're not starting from scratch—they already believe in you because someone they trust vouched for you. 2. Focus on the Benefits, Not Just the Features It's easy to get caught up in the technical details of your product or service, but customers are more interested in how it benefits them. Denise points out that for referral partners to help you, they need to know exactly who you want to work with and why someone should choose your services. Focus on solving pain points, not just listing features. 3. Start with the Relationships You Already Have Instead of constantly trying to build new relationships, Denise suggests focusing on the network you've already developed. People who already know, like, and trust you are your best advocates. Train them on how to refer you by clearly explaining your target market and the benefits of your services. 4. Give to Get Referrals are a two-way street. You can't just expect to receive them without offering something in return. Be proactive in asking others how you can help them, and genuinely try to send referrals their way. A good question to end any meeting with is: “How can I help you?” This opens up a deeper conversation about how you can support their business too. 5. Tell Stories People remember stories. If you want your referral partners to easily explain what you do, share real-life examples of clients you've helped. These stories make your work more relatable and easier to understand, making it more likely they'll think of you when they come across a potential referral. Building a referral system isn't just about luck—it's about being intentional. By focusing on trust, relationships, and storytelling, you can create a steady stream of high-quality referrals. And the best part? When someone comes to you by referral, they're already primed to buy. Looking for more networking tips? Grab a copy of my book https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3BMD6JW

Are you tired of the traditional networking methods that fail to bring real value to your business? In this episode, Nana interviews the owner of a business to business networking group that operates on an invitational basis. Discover how this unique approach to networking leads to predictable results from word of mouth marketing and real business growth. Clay Hicks is an entrepreneur with a portfolio of 5 different companies, including H7 Network and he is on the podcast today. KEY TAKEAWAYS H7 Network is a networking hub for the following values and principles, these are: Connect - Serve - Ask - Influence - Focus - Champion - and Win-Win. H7 network is an invitation only group to prevent those who just want to sell to the room from joining. Clay wants to build a community of people who really want to work with each other and grow each other's businesses. The key to transforming your business is not just having customers, it's the relationships you build with those customers, with your staff, with your team, with your prospects. Having people know that you're reliable, trustworthy, and good to work with is more valuable than any marketing strategy you can have. Connect, serve, and ask is the philosophy behind how Clay builds relationships with people in one on one business meetings. Simply put it's building a relationship, then giving them something they need, then asking them for something that you need. The connection part is the most important and that's why it comes first. The real success in networking is becoming a champion for other people and them being a champion for you. It's about finding someone who is intentionally active in networking your skills to other people, instead of waiting for those opportunities to arise. BEST MOMENTS ‘We're looking for a very strong community of professionals who want to grow their businesses, who also want to work with other people' ‘We had over 1000 visitors to our community all through word-of-mouth, not a single dollar spent on marketing' ‘I keep smarter people around me than myself' ‘It's not just who you know, it's how you know them' EPISODE RESOURCES Clay Hicks - CEO and Founder - H7 Network | LinkedIn clayton@h7network.com H7 Network VALUABLE RESOURCES Productize ebook Leave your comments on the show's facebook community page: https://www.facebook.com/Buildvaluebychoice Get your free valuation here: https://bit.ly/get-free-valuation Podcast website: https://infhorizons.com/podcast/ Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and share it.

This episode comes directly from a few conversations I had this past week. Since I feel so passionately about it, I had to bump up this topic and get it out of my head. As a former business owner who relied heavily on word of mouth, I would of probably skipped this episode. Thinking, “you know nothing.”However, now after 14 years in business, I know full well that even though word of mouth is awesome, it should NOT be relied on to bring people in our doors. The trouble many business owners have is that they attempt too many marketing options or platforms. And because they are stretched so thin, they don't do anything excellent and get super frustrated with themselves and the lack of growth. Today we're going to lean into the concept of “one to many” and I have three great examples on how to do this. Perhaps one of these ideas will give you the aha you need to start or lean into a marketing strategy that you do consistently.

When hiring, ask them what they want from the job besides money. If money is all they want, that's not the right fit. Post about other things aside from your primary practice. Noha highly recommends listening to the EntreMD Podcast by Dr. Una, as she considers it to be greatly instrumental in her journey. To avoid burnout, remember to take care of your health by taking frequent rests.
