[5:54] If you do what successful people do, You can have what successful people have got. [6:12] If your working with clients that you don’t enjoy working with thats your choice and you can fire them if you want to. You can be very selective with who you work with. [9:34] One of the key reasons why you don’t get referrals right now is you don’t ask! You simply don’t ask and what we know is if you don’t ask your denying somebody the opportunity of saying yes. [12:09] The service you offer to clients makes a massive difference to them, you add to the bottom line, you are literally guaranteed to increase there sales and increase there personal earnings.

So at the end of this project, at the end of our time together one of the things I’m going to do is ask you for a referral. Is that okay?” And again, 9 times out of 10 they’ll say YES.
