Add You - Leads, Referrals and Recommendations Defined
This really sums it up in a nutshell because when you look at it, the only reason why we are bombarded with advertising is because when we move through our life and require something that a marketer has been hammering on us with, we will instantly pick up on their marketing phrase.
True power lies when your can do both at the same time. Your business will begin to soar when people turn to you for a quality referral or recommendation, and they only recommend
Losing good employees is not only an expense in terms of time, effort and the associated cost of finding a suitable replacement but also in the untold cost of loosing valuable knowledge and experience that is unique to the organization; Loosing good employees is a problem where prevention
Introducing Ponn’s Power Pun: You must Power Network to build a Power Network. Basically, the action of networking with power will allow you to build a powerful network of power people that will help you achieve your goals.
Here’s the difference:
• A lead points you in the right direction towards reaching your goal.
• A referral is a name of someone who can help you reach your goal.
• A recommendation (personal contact from your power network) is a secured path towards goal attainment.
As a foreclosure and short sales specialist, here’s some examples:
• A lead was advice to join Real Estate Investors Association so I can offer my specialized services.
• A referral was any investor given to me because they are interested in buying distressed homes. This person may be actively looking but not committed to me or my services.
• A recommendation (personal contact from my power network) was an investor who was told and convinced to only work with me, because I will give them exactly what they want, when they need it, and hopefully enjoy my company as well.
As you can see, you become more personally involved by sharing the different levels of human-equity tips. This is why I am extremely careful when I share recommendations. While I dish out leads and referrals all the time, I know my reputation is at stake when it comes to my personal and professional recommendations.
Another important point towards building your power network is understanding the distinct difference between talking your business in 30 seconds or less, and promoting someone else's (which is what you're doing in giving a referral or recommendation). Given the time constraints, master your business first.
