Three Tips to Generating More Referrals
At Women’s Business League, we are all about referrals. Most of our businesses are built on word of mouth! This tried-and-true method not only fosters trust but also helps build long-lasting professional relationships. In fact, in B2B sales, over 40% of in-person meetings result in new customers, highlighting the importance of direct, personal connections. However, did you know you can significantly increase your referrals by taking intentional action? By adopting strategic approaches, you can enhance your networking efforts and maximize your business potential. Try out these tips and let us know what you think!
