More Word Of Mouth Referrals: Developing Lifelong Customers & Raving Fans
ST PETERSBURG, Fla. — Matt Ward of Breakthrough Champion shares the four pillars of his word-of-mouth strategy to getting systematic referrals from clients.
Most businesses want more of those golden nuggets, the word-of-mouth referrals, but they struggle to get them in a systematic way. People can create more business than they can imagine if they had more word-of-mouth referrals. In this session, Matt will provide attendees with a clear understanding that building strong relationships with their clients and contacts can be a powerful marketing tool. Attendees will leave armed with knowledge and clear takeaways they can implement in their businesses immediately, resulting in a closer connection with clients, and contacts. These initiatives will also generate more word-of-mouth referrals.
You will learn the four pillars of Ward’s word-of-mouth strategy:
- Over delivery: How to exceed client expectations so they communicate your value to their network
- Listening: Find new ways to really hear what customers are saying but more importantly see the things they do to open new opportunities
- Surprise: It takes some effort but surprising clients requires understanding the individuals inside the organization and what matters to them.
- Non-self-serving acts: Taking the time to do things that don’t always impact revenue or the bottom line. They will pay big dividends in the future.
Learning Objectives:
- How to exceed client expectations so they communicate your value to their network.
- Choose the ideal contacts that would be more likely to refer business to you
- Perform actions that ensure your name is top of mind for referrals
- Identify why asking for referrals never works
