4 Advisors Who Created Successful “Referral-Only” Businesses (Without Asking for Referrals!)
Is it really possible to build a successful referral-only practice without asking for referrals? I have to admit, until I started interviewing top advisors for my podcast, I was skeptical about this possibility.
I have worked with thousands of advisors over the last 25+ years, but had not met any truly successful advisors who were getting all of their new clients through referrals without having a consistent process for asking their clients to think about making introductions.
I have coached and interviewed a lot of “by-referral-only” advisors in the past, but they haven’t been that successful. Their level of activity was low and their income was not what they wanted.
But, these 3 interviews broke the mold and changed my opinion.
As we kick-off 2022 and many of us are in goal-setting mode, I highly recommend you listen to the inspirational episodes linked below. After all, what better goal is there than to quit prospecting altogether and build the business of your dreams working by referral only?
