How to Get More Referrals for Your Business {Podcast}

When you ask a company how they get new customers, most will say they get their business through word of mouth referrals.

And yet, many companies ignore referral marketing as a way to generate more business. After all, it can be way more fun to talk about the latest digital marketing tool or tactics.

But, sometimes it’s the tried and true marketing tactics that will get the most results for your business.

That’s definitely the case with referral marketing. Focusing on generating more referrals is one of the most powerful things you can do for your business.

This approach has been around forever for a reason — it works.

If you do nothing else, referral marketing is the one tactic you should include in your marketing plan.
