1. Connect: Establish Genuine Relationships

  • Build Trust: Schedule regular check-ins, attend networking events together, and engage in meaningful conversations to build a strong and genuine relationship.

2. Serve: Provide Value Generously

  • Offer Assistance First: Demonstrate your commitment to the partnership by offering help and resources without expecting anything in return. This could be through sharing your expertise, providing useful industry insights, or even connecting them with potential leads.

3. Ask: Make a Direct Request

  • Be Specific: Clearly articulate the type of referrals you are looking for, including details about your ideal client and how your services can solve their problems. This specificity makes it easier for your partners to identify suitable referrals.

By systematically applying the Connect, Serve, and Ask™ methodology, you can nurture strong referral partnerships and sustainably grow your business.
