Now, how many of those clients actually call? Truthfully, not many. Because we are putting the task on the client and many are uncomfortable or don’t want to make the initial call to someone they don’t know as well as you.

We encourage advisors we work with to take the same approach to referrals. We say this because when you simply give your client a business card or brochure and tell them to call someone, they see that as a job or task now.
Referring a client this way, allows them to feel like you are taking the burden off of them and they know that you trust the person you are referring them to.
