A Simple Way to Double Your Referrals

If you've been in business for awhile you've probably heard of the "80/20 Rule."

The 80/20 Rule says that 80% of your results come from only 20% of your activities.

You can see the 80/20 Rule in action every where you look. Especially when it comes to referral marketing!

I'll almost bet you my next paycheck that 80% of the referrals you receive, come from only 20% (or less) of your clients.

So What Does This Mean to You?

It means that if you want to double your referrals, all you need to do is focus on the 20% of your customers that are bringing you the most referrals!

So let me ask you...

Do you have a list of all the people who have referred business to you in the past
12 months?

If you don't, then you need to create that list and keep it up to date.

This is Your "Platinum List"

You should be giving the people on your
Platinum List the red carpet treatment.

If you take care of the people on your
Platinum List, they will take care of YOU!

How to Build a 100%, "By Referral Only" Business

What would it mean to you if you were able to build a 100%, "by referral only" business.

Imagine, not having to spend money on advertising at all because your customers and clients brought you all the business you could handle.

It would be pretty cool, huh.

Well, not long ago, I was reading a great sales book called, "How to Master the Art of Selling" by Tom Hopkins.

Tom is considered one of the top sales trainers in the world.

He commands huge speaking fees and is in heavy demand by sales organizations around the world.

In his book, Tom mentioned that he was able to build a 100%, by referral only business in just three short years.

___________________________

Here’s how he did it...
___________________________


Tom knew that success in sales is all about creating and maintaining RELATIONSHIPS of trust with people that know you and know what you do.

So, this is what Tom did in his very own words....

"Because I understood that building
relationships is what selling is all about, I
began early in my career to send thank you
cards to people. I set a goal to send ten thank
you cards every day.

Guess what happened? By the end of my third
year in sales, my business was 100% referrals!"

Yes, the secret key to Tom's success was sending out simple thank you cards every single day.

Tom was consistent in his commitment to reaching out to people through thank you cards and it paid off for him.

Do you send out thank you cards on a frequent basis?

________________________________________________

Thank You Cards that Make People Say "Wow!"
________________________________________________


I don't send out thank you cards that are dull and are like every one else's.

When I send out thank you cards, I like people to say, "Wow", "Cool!" and "That's awesome."

So I use my SendOutCards.com system.

This system allows me to upload photos and modify those photos to create thank you cards that surprise and delight people.

Here's an example of a thank you card that was created with SendOutCards.com...
