A Simple Way to Double Your Referrals

by David Frey
Marketing Best Practices


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!

Here are some IDEAS for showing appreciation
to your Platinum List customers....
