The Power of Referral Marketing

Don’t you just love it when a friend of yours calls you up and says, “Hey, I’ve got a friend who needs to sell a house, and they would like to talk to you about getting your help selling their house”? That’s what we call a “come list me.” or a referral from your circle.

Imagine if you could receive one or two of these referrals from every single person you know. And receive the referrals every single year for the rest of your life. It would change your financial outlook, wouldn’t it?

In this article, we’re going to share with you a proven system. This will enable you to generate referrals and “come list me” opportunities. This will help propel your real estate career to new heights.

Unlocking the Referral Goldmine: The Worthy Cause System

Our referral marketing system revolves around a worthy cause. It’s about programming your clients to become enthusiastic advocates for your business. You start by tying their referrals to a cause that resonates with them. Here’s how it works:

1. Programming Your Clients for Referrals

Our system involves programming your clients to become referral champions. Aligning your business with a worthy cause, your clients have a reason to refer people to you. They will be able to connect more with you through the same passion for the worthy cause.

Share with your clients that a part of your income goes towards supporting your cause. They are more motivated to spread the word about your services and be part of something great.

2. Showcasing Your Worthy Cause

Consistency is key when it comes to reinforcing the connection. This helps build the relationship between your business and the worthy cause.

Every Wednesday, share a post and video highlighting your involvement with the cause. This can show the stories, impact, and mission of the cause with your clients. This keeps your audience engaged but also reinforces the message. This shows that their referrals contribute to something meaningful.
