#103: How do I encourage clients to send me referrals?

Join Josh and Amelie to discuss encouraging clients to send you referrals…AND legality/morality.   Top takeaways: There’s no legal problems but you do lose control of communication when a client refers you, so you don’t know what the referred person is expecting. Most professions/certification programs etc. have a ban on paying for referrals. Introducing money into the equation can affect whether people actually send referrals or feel icky about it and don’t. Stop telling people that you’re busy–it tells people that you’re too busy for more clients or that if you take on more clients, it’ll take your time away from them. Casually mention to clients things that keep you busy on weekends and expansion that you’ve been doing. Keep it clear that you’re freeing up more time.   Want help building or growing a successful financial coaching business?
