Webinar Recap
1. Clarify Your Offer & Contact Path
Being referable starts with a crystal-clear USP, a landing page built for introductions, and friction-free ways for allies to hand prospects to you (think dedicated “Friend of Partner Name” pages or QR codes).
2. Recruit 2–3 “Power Partners” First
Mortgage broker, photographer, contractor—choose allies who already serve your future clients. Nail the process with a small circle before scaling.
3. Multiply Through Network-of-Networks
Encourage each partner to bring their two best allies. Within a few months you can go from five warm referrers to 50-plus—each motivated to send business because every referral moves the whole group forward.
4. Automate & Track
Steve previewed an upcoming SuccessWebsite tool that
- stores partner profiles and offers,
- logs every referral (who sent whom and when), and
- triggers review requests, thank-you gifts, and cross-promotional emails automatically.
5. Reward & Spotlight
Borrow the “box-of-chocolates + five-business-cards” move: deliver a tangible thank-you and spotlight your partners—building goodwill, social proof, and a reason for every partner to reciprocate.
