"There are many benefits for doing business by referral:
- You will always have business coming TO YOU.
- The prospective client tends to be less "price sensitive".
- You have perceived trust with the client because you were referred.
What does this mean? YOU achieve a HIGHER closing ratio on your appointments!"
