Referral Fundamental #3: What Not to Compromise with Referrals

When business owners hear the word “referrals” there are two emotions that show up. Desire for more referrals and dread of how they have been taught to generate them. Trust your gut. The Referrals Without Asking™ methodology, a proven roadmap business owners have been using for 13 years to grow their businesses with referrals, was developed by Stacey Brown Randall. The framework Stacey teaches is based on one foundational philosophy—you should not compromise yourself or your relationships to grow your business by referrals. Stacey and her clients have been able to generate consistent referrals using strategies that are both comfortable and effective. Which means you don’t have to ask, pay, or turn referrals into a marketing gimmick. This episode is a part of a series on the Roadmap to Referrals podcast where host and referral expert Stacey Brown Randall covers what business owners get wrong about referrals, what she calls "The Referral Fundamentals". Each episode breaks down one referral fundamental at a time, helping business owners see referrals correctly so they can then generate them differently—without asking, incentivizing or manipulating.
