Are you scared to get business beyond referrals?
Only yesterday I had a client say to me “I don’t want to get too much new business, how will I handle it?”.
I hear this so often! My response is always “Well isn’t that a good problem to have?!”
If you are operating as a professional services business, investing in effective marketing and brand positioning is not just about growing more leads – increasing sales. It’s about securing your businesses future and perhaps even freeing up some of your time in manually selling to prospects.
A lot of professional service providers run their business based on referrals alone. This not only severely limits the scalability of your business – It jeopardises the future of your business.
Here is a test to see if you are a ‘referral based’ business. If you left your business today, would the same new business volume and reputation continue? If not, your business is entirely dependent on you alone and ends when you leave.
Hey – I give credit where credit is due… If you are running your business purely on referrals, this means you offer value to your customers BUT you must be mindful of the pitfalls.
Referrals give you no control over your lead generation. It’s like operating on luck. Moreover, you are likely to be missing out on the quality clients – the ones most profitable for you.
I know this personally. I have run my business for over 15 years successfully based on referrals. But I have also personally experienced the pitfalls of limited scalability and lack of control over the clients I am servicing. I am changing this now by structuring my business in a way that suits me, scaling my business and strategically generating leads based on my ideal client avatar.
