Get referrals from happy clients

The steps

1. Pick the moment: right after you delivered something they are happy with.
2. Ask one specific question: "Who else do you know who [has the same problem]?" Not "Do you know anyone?"
3. Make it easy: give them two lines they can forward as they are.
4. Thank them the same day, and tell them when it turned into work.
5. Make it a habit: one referral ask after every finished job.
