Make
sure whenever ANYONE mentions
they gave your name or card to
someone, you enlist their help
in the follow-up process. Common cutesies and courtesies aside,
handing out your name to people
can do you more harm than good.
So no cold handoffs, okay. Leave
those for January NFL football
games… not the ‘game’ of
referrals, got it?
Here’s how to handle this next
time.
You first need to
understand that there are
certain trigger events that may
cause a person to think of you.
The key to this is making sure
you focus on the process that
would cause the CPA to think of
you and, as you put it, “hand
out your” information. The name
of the game is not the person
“talking you up.” It’s about
them having a raging desire to
tell the client they need to do
everything possible to meet with
you.
More next time.
Good luck with your referrals.
