Joe Polish welcomes marketing expert Alex Mandossian to discuss how businesses can leverage referrals to eliminate advertising costs and grow exponentially. They explore the importance of identifying referents—those who actively bring in new Customers—and the psychology behind why many business owners hesitate to ask for referrals.

Here’s a glance at what you’ll discover in this episode: 

  • The simple 3-word question that generates more referrals than almost any other technique.
  • Why timing is everything—and how to ask for referrals at the exact moment people are most eager to say yes.
  • The difference between a “referral” and a “referent”—and why focusing on the right 4% can transform your business.
  • The fastest way to grow without spending a dime on marketing or advertising.
  • How to identify, engage, and activate your best referral sources—so you never have to “chase” leads again.
  • Why transactional businesses fail at referrals—and what relational businesses do differently to create long-term growth.
  • How one Genius Network Member referred someone before even attending his first event—and what that means for YOUR business.
