Asking for Referrals
Most people blow getting referrals because they say way too much. The best way to get referrals is to not go into any details about it. Just use something simple like:
- "I'm working on a project in the fitness industry. Who do you know who's into fitness?. . .into health?
- "Who do you know who hates their love handles?". . . is into eating right?. . . into working out?
- "I need your help. You know a lot of people. I'm currently working on a large project and need to find one or two people to help me. Can I give you a 30 second overview about this project and the profile of the person I'm looking for to see if you can help me locate the right people?"
- "John, I need your help. Who's talked to you that's looking for an alternative income stream?"
- "Who comes to mind that's looking for a career move?"
- "Who's tired of being in traffic?"
- "Whom do you know who hates their boss?"
- "Who do you know that likes to work real hard, get the job done so they can go play?"
- "How about someone really motivated by money and willing to do what ever it takes to succeed?"
This last question is very important. Sometimes when I ask for referrals they say "Hey, how about me?" It is very important how you handle this! Don't do what most everyone does. Don't fall for it! If they throw it out to you that they're interested don't get derailed. Keep asking for referrals.
