Are your networking pitches too vague to generate meaningful referrals? In this episode, Faithann dives into why being crystal clear and specific about who you're looking for is the key to unlocking real referral success. Using a fun Rose Parade analogy, she explains how positioning your referral ask as "anyone with a house" or "anyone with skin" just doesn't cut it—and what to do instead.
You'll learn:
- How to help your referral partners identify your ideal client by painting vivid, relatable pictures.
- Why the way you ask for referrals needs to feel natural, not salesy.
- Tips for making your networking introductions stand out using program interruptors—from quirky phrases like “tippity-top” to holding a microphone or even wearing your name tag upside down.
- Why inviting conversation after the meeting could be the most powerful part of your introduction.
