Referrals are vital to the success and expansion of a business, so it’s best you do not sit back and twiddle your thumbs hoping and wishing you get more of them. The key is to grow effective referral partnerships with other businesses with whom you share common target prospects with.

Quality referral partners possess a great amount of opportunity, which is the most frequent interaction with your potential target customers. Think “exposure”!

Let’s check out a couple quick tips on how you can increase your total of quality referral partners.

For starters, it’s best you thoroughly familiarize yourself with your target customers. Acquire as much knowledge about them as possible, such as needs, wants, other products they purchase, events they attend—all the good stuff.

Next, find out which companies have the most frequent contact with your target customers, and then make a list. This will certainly help you see which businesses will make the best referral partners.

Remember, think “exposure”!

Begin meeting with the top businesses from your list of potential quality referral partners. Look into going to conferences these potential referral partners attend, and don’t be afraid to join an association or two that they’re involved with.

Another simple tip is to simply ask your customers. That’s right, ask. Essentially, your customers can provide you with a shortcut of which businesses to target as the best referral partners.

Not only will the total of referral partners for your business increase, but the quality of your referral partners will be improved!
