I see the basic issue with many emerging companies and freelancers that they don’t have good contacts. They don’t know how to get more clients and projects.
I will like to share few tips that will help all of us grow in getting more business and good network.
1) Refer each other: Refer some one and tell him to refer you. This is a good style that I have seen in many business networking organizations also.
2) Tell your happy customers to spread the word about your business. People always listen to good reference.
3) Give incentives for referrals. people gets more attraction towards words like "FREE" , "OFF" , "Discount"
4)Encourage the members of your networking group to recommend your business to others.
5) Family and Friends Referrals can make the Best Franchisees: As a franchisor it is imperative that you seek, find and recruit the best franchisees to maintain a strong franchise system.
6) Tracking your Online Referrals. See where are your customers coming from.
7) Create you own network /group in networking websites.
8) Try using postcards. This is one is the simplest way of marketing your business
9)Before going to new client , make sure you spend time with old clients and they refer you. The best thing in business is retaining clients.
10) Let you customer sell for you. You cannot be both CEO and sales person.
11) Inspire People to Talk about You .
