Referrals 101

 

Aaron knows we love a good story at authenticWEB and he shared his very own.

Here’s how Aaron created his EIGHTH business:

Eight years ago, Aaron was ready to retire. He had seven successful businesses under his belt, so we can’t blame him. However, his colleagues didn’t feel the same way. Dave Ramsy, Ken Abraham, and Dan Miller said he was nuts for retiring and prompted him to start coaching other entrepreneurs. Presto! Now, Aaron is the leading life coach for his exclusive mastermind group.

His biggest advice is to understand the importance of referrals. He says do your due diligence, research, and homework on someone before you hire them. If you’re looking to be hired, how are your referrals? Referrals are crucial for reaching the top of the marketing game. The personal connection through referrals is priceless.

Aaron did warn us about the rabbit hole of referrals. Aaron recently redid his LinkedIn profile. His profile was all about who he knows, instead of showing potential prospects how he transformed his client’s lives. Nobody cares about who you know. What can you do for them? It’s an obvious concept, but we don’t realize we naturally show off our connections. It’s not about who you know, it’s what you know.
