I’m often asked to refer people in my network, which I love doing. In fact, there is nothing better I like to do more than using my network to help people grow their business.
However, just because I’m a business coach with an extensive network, doesn’t mean that I’ll automatically refer you or your business.- Screw up on our business or our client’s businesses and we are unlikely to recommend you in the future
- Lack credibility or give us doubts about your capability to fulfil the service you offer, means we are unlikely to refer you
- We can never be bought. We will not accept a commission share. Ie. if you get the referral, we wouldn’t take a cut or commission, otherwise our impartiality becomes compromised. So please don’t suggest this to us, as it only offends and leads to a difficult conversation.
- If we don’t like you, we are unlikely to recommend you (not surprising really!)
- Neglect the relationship at your peril
