2- Try to be special, declare this specialty and become known for it.

3- Another time proven way to quickly spread the message of your referral program is to Verbally Tell your family, friends and colleagues about it.

4- Always consider saying “thanks” to the person who made the connection.

5- Always remind your customers that you are still around; use the latest techniques, send emails, newsletters, cards, etc…

6- The persons who make the referring always expect you to make them look good; you should exceed their expectations, if you want to keep the referral business pouring in.
