3 Ways Your Referral Strategy Costs You Clients
According to Stacey Brown Randall, in order to start getting more seller leads, listing appointments and buyer clients from your real estate referral strategy, you must first eliminate the following three things from you referral mindset.
Mistake 1 – Always be asking
Mistake 2 – Always find opportunities to ask in inappropriate times
Mistake 3 – Referrals are about you
Stacey covered each of these mistakes in-depth in her podcast interview with Pat. Once you recognize what you have been doing wrong, you can then move onto taking the correct steps to unleash a referral explosion.
Real Estate Referral Strategy Step One – The Right Relationships
Not all relationships are the right relationships for referrals. Start by identifying your top referrers – a solid base of people who refer you multiple times. Once this list is established, focus your energy on these relationships. You’ll hear exactly how to do this in the podcast.
Real Estate Referral Strategy Step Two – Sticky Client Experience
Next, make sure you create a killer, sticky client experience. You must wow your clients which, in turn, will create a desire to talk about you to everyone they know in person and on social media. When a client experience is sticky, you become a part of the client’s life and it is a relationship that never ends.
Real Estate Referral Strategy Step Three – Stay Top of Mind
Here are Stacey’s three platinum principles of referrals. Your referral strategy for real estate should 1) be all about them, 2) be authentic to you, and 3)keep you top of mind. And remember, staying top of mind should never be about sending referrers magnets and water bottles with a goal of ensuring your business’s name and logo are anywhere and everywhere. Instead, it should involve offering value with a focus on them and not you.
