Referrals are one of the most powerful and trustworthy ways to get new clients.
Not only are they easier to close than cold leads, but they often come with built-in credibility and urgency. It’s someone saying, “You’ve got to work with Tracey, she’s exactly what you need.”
People often ask for referrals at the exact time that they are looking for help, so the urgency comes into play there.
And what’s even better? You don’t need to have been in business for years to benefit from referrals.
You can start generating them no matter what stage you’re at.
In this episode we'll talk about why referrals are gold, what makes a virtual assistant 'referable', 3 referral sources to tap into right now, and creating a simple system to collect referrals.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
