How can you get your current customers to give you a high quality referral? Follow these seven steps:

1. First and foremost; you need to provide your current customers with excellent service so they have something good to say about you and your service. Find out if they are happy and right any wrongs. Lay the foundation of good service and more business is likely to come your way.

2. Your customer want to be your friend. Take some time to learn about who they are, what their needs are with respect to your service. Find out their spouses, kids and pet’s names.

3. If they have a business let them know that you have recommended their business to others.

4. Give them a good deal or throw in some extra free service when you are assisting them. Go beyond the call of duty.

5. Send them greeting cards just to focus on them alone, not necessarily to promote your business. Send these cards at regular intervals, not just once or twice a year. When you show you are thinking about them, you will be on their mind if someone asks them for a referral.

6. Ask them for referrals when you see them. “Sue, I would really appreciate it if you recommend my services to your friends, neighbors and colleagues.”

7. Offer them a bonus if they send a paying customer your way. $25 off your next furnace tune up if you send me a new customer.
