Are you asking for referrals? How do you ask for them?

Referrals are the lifeline of this business and the best free leads that you can get. All you have to do is ask for them.

There are many ways of asking for a referral. You are missing the boat if you never ask for referrals.

Let me share with you just one way to ask for a referral.

Who is your best friend? If he was standing here right now, would you introduce us? What is his name? What is his wife’s name? Does he have any children? What is his phone number? I’m going to call him and introduce myself to him and see if I can help him like I help you. You can also give him my info and have him call me.

Can you introduce me to some of your friends or give me their contact info?

Here are some of my business cards and if you hear someone talking about needing some insurance or anything, please give them my card.

Some agents even have a referral program where they reward the client for referring friend to them. Example they are giving away some kind of tv or something and for every name and number you give them, they will enter you name in the contest or pay them some money.

You can think of a ton of ways to ask for referrals or rewards those that give them to you.

Every client at least can give you 5 people names and numbers to call and try to help.

You can say something like this to them. Hi, I’m Mark Rosenthal and I just left Tom Browns house and he gave me your name and number and I wanted to introduce myself and I would like to see if I can come out and help you like I helped him. Something like this.

This is the only free lead system that really works that I know about.

Just as it's much easier to keep a customer than it is to get a new one, it's far more beneficial to get referrals than pay for generated leads. Asking for referrals saves you money, builds client relations and increases your closing ratio. I'm a firm believer in using every resource possible for success, including your client's network.
