Do we ask or stay humble

Do we ask or stay humble

Isnt it interesting how we often tell our clients or even just those SMMEs who ask our opinions - best form of marketing is testimonials, recommendations, referrals. The best form of marketing is when someone else suggests YOU.

So why is it so difficult to ASK your clients for a recommendation or testimonial or even a referral.

Belonging to an official referral network group, you would think it made it easier. Actually you completely forget, you forget to ASK your clients to write something, you forget to ASK your clients to refer your services.

What a crazy world we live in! The best form of marketing and yet we forget.

Today I am ASKING my clients to write a testimonial on LINKEDIN and FACEBOOK - please, if you believe in what I do - please take some time and write a recommendation, testimonial or refer me to your business colleagues.

Sometimes it takes you out your comfort zone

Sometimes we have to put your pride away and just ASK

Sometimes its just about a reminder, as our lives are so busy

Sometimes this is exactly what SMMEs need to boost them

So please take some time and do a testimonial, reference, referral or recommendation! This does not cost you anything except your time. Spend your time wisely

Help a business to grow
