You got one of the most important points correct… Ask how you can help and get to know who is a good referral for them. Next, is to really take this process deeper. Meaning when you meet with them find out how you can really help them. Without a doubt, finding an area of how you can help them (not just by selling your product) in there business will result in exponential referrals.

Someone told me a long time ago, help someone out without being asked in their business where you can and they will lick a floor covered in glass trying to help you in return. Odd analogy, but it works and I love meeting new people just to find out how I can help them in some sincere way… Just be time conscious on the help and you can sky rocket your reputation and business in a short period.

I use Passing Green as an easy way to reward customers that send me new leads with a cash incentive… It’s awesome and completely automates the process allowing me to thank my customers with a reward and write them a heartfelt thank you for their effort!

You must try out Passing Green.

Hi Paul, glad you like the idea. I not anti-email. Email is great but it’s effectiveness low (but so is the cost). You add a few nickels and you send a card in the mail IN ADDITION to sending the email, and you’ll see how dramatically different your sales results are going to be.

Hi Alex

Great idea. I’m guest speaking at a networking event on Tuesday so I’ll give this technique a try. I’ve always been dismayed at the difficulty of making networking work for me. This should turn that around. I’ll report back with my results.

Thanks
Aaron

Thanks for posting your blog on the LinkedIn Toronto Entrepreneur Alliance site.

I like the idea of following up with a written note (not an email) and actually being interested in what *they* are looking for. It really is frustrating giving a card and just getting added to a sales funnel mailing list.
