However, this ending ignores a vital area of sales growth, technical marketing referrals. Remember it\u2019s not a safe bet that you will always get referrals from satisfied clients. It takes effort to develop an active referral network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The referral network program<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you think of your referral network as an extension of the sales funnel, you\u2019ll see why you need to add it to your sales program. In a perfect world, happy clients would always refer your services. Unfortunately, not even a satisfied client might not make a good referral source because they don\u2019t think about it. Keep in mind, referring you isn\u2019t at the top of their mind. Your clients need to know you want referrals. That\u2019s where the program comes in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you feel you aren\u2019t getting the number of referrals you\u2019d like from clients, begin by training employees to ask for referrals. When starting a proactive technical marketing referrals program, begin by determining which channels you\u2019ll use to reach out to clients. I would begin with a quarterly campaign that could include digital, mail, or in-person contacts. Then, you need to decide if you will offer a benefit to clients for a referral. If the majority are happy clients, a reward might not be necessary. If you feel a reward is needed, it could be any incentive from a gift card to a discount on services. Another essential part of receiving referrals in technical marketing is asking clients to be part of a referral list. Also, it\u2019s a good idea to ask for a testimonial from these clients to use in your sales and marketing efforts. When you receive a referral, contact the client to thank them and gather some information on the prospect. Finally, be patient if the referral isn\u2019t ready to move forward immediately. After all, you could lose the sale while alienating a current client.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Technical marketing referrals are <\/strong><strong>worth the effort<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While receiving regular referrals requires work, don\u2019t forget a referral is easier to close because of the preliminary trust established by the referring client. But creating a referral program won\u2019t work if you don\u2019t have happy clients. Delivering your services as promised is just the beginning of true customer satisfaction. The client relationship needs to be maintained after the service is complete. Part of the technical marketing referrals program should include regular contact with current clients beyond asking for referrals. After all, an unhappy customer or one that doesn\u2019t hear from you, isn\u2019t likely to refer you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>Paul Kowalski (or Pappy as he is called around the office) spent over two decades working at other agencies before opening Conach Marketing Group in 2008.
