013 Influential Referrals

The advantage of running your business through mainly referrals and customer introductions is self-evident. Who would even argue otherwise. The problem for many salespeople, however, is an inability to ask. And, even when they do, it rarely results in referrals. You may have even asked for a referral from a customer or client who truly knew, liked, and trusted you, but when you did, they responded with something that sounded like: “Well, I can’t think of anyone right now.

It’s when the ego is in control of us that we get into trouble and big problems can occur, again both on an individual and societal level. In this episode Bob took a look at various aspects of the ego and how we can best direct it positively and keep it from the harm it can potentially bring.
