If we cannot do the work, then it's in our best interest to help our clients (or prospects) find someone who can. That way we are still a valuable resource and we're building relationships. It's rewarding to be part of the solution, even if it's not actual business for us. There is an undefined positive ROI on being part of that solution. Looking forward to next week!

I've been slowly building up a consultant's directory on www.blackbus.org. This would be an awesome way to launch it to the membership base. I'll front page this on March 9 with the badge and tell everyone who the consultants are that we're listing and that ALL of them are small businesses. I’m all over this.

The problems that ail many of our businesses, however, have nothing to do with lack of referrals or clever marketing. I can refer ten friends to my favorite Realtor, but that won't inspire them to sell their houses at major losses. I can refer them to a wonderful financial advisor, but they won't use her services if they don't have assets to manage or money to pay her fees. And I can refer them to a truly fair car sales professional-- yes they exist. But my local Toyota dealer isn't hurting because of obscurity: All of the above are hurting because we are facing changes that are deep, seismic, and structural. In addition to referring (not instead of it), I suggest doing what Seth Godin recently urged people to try: Call up a customer or friend and ask what you can do to be of help. Not for money. Not for reciprocity. Just for the joy of it. I did this last week: The world didn't change. The economy didn't rebound. And multitudes did not throw money or business my way. But it sure helped a few people and it took my mind off of me. At the end of the day, we could all do worse. I hope that people will ALWAYS consider referring– not just for a week.

It starts with one person and can spread to others quickly! Pam,

I am really excited about the results we can achieve when we have a collective focus on referrals. And then, moving forward, we can incorporate it into the way we do business. It is as important to make yourself referable as it is to refer others. That is what I am thinking about writing for my post on Duct Tape Marketing during that week -- the general topic is Personal Branding. I feel so positive about this, knowing that a lot of people will get welcome calls and emails. Thanks for your support! -Pam So glad you are all on board.
