Referrals vs Testimonials - There's Room for Both, But Which is Easier to Attain?

It’s the most intoxicating, magical, *chef’s kiss*, beautiful word in business – Referral!

But as pretty as it sounds a referral is not always easy to get, and even harder to manufacture. I’m sharing 3 reasons why referrals are great, but I’m not stopping there! I’m also diving into how to build a testimonial program. Let me know if any of the tips shared today work to grow your small business.

Also on this episode:

  • Celebration / Networking – We’re talking with Elisa Ruer, founder and CEO of Praktess Law. Elisa is a self-proclaimed introvert but is now saying that networking “is the best part” of her job right now. Holy Cats! Hear how she’s turned a negative into a positive and how it’s impacted her business.
  • Time Management / Self Care – A big draw for entrepreneurs is being in control of their own business and how they spend their time. Angie Noll, a Profit First Professional and Founder of Reconciled Solutions shares why she loves the Clockwork System by Mike Michalowicz, and how it’s made it possible for her to TAKE ONE MONTH OFF over the summer and still keep things working the way they should. Who wants some extended time off from their business this summer? I know I do! For more information on the IC Small Business Conference, check out smallbizretreat.com.
