How do I handle clients who promise to give the name of a referral and call with the address, and then don’t?

Make a follow up call and ask for the address. Next time, schedule a phone appointment with them to give you the addresses of the referrals. Do everything by appointment only. Hire competent staff to whom you can delegate these tasks to.

I am in the Ideal Life Evaluation Program. I don't have all that many clients and am through most of them with the Financial Road Map®. What is the best way to build a list of people to call? I am not into the program enough yet that I have the Referral Conversation™ available to me.

I had a client who completed an implementation meeting but was not very effusive about the benefits of our work together so far. She is an elderly lady who is very passive and doesn't seem to have many friends she hangs out with. She sticks with mostly family who are all broke.

I have an Ideal Client who has given me referrals but has not contacted the referrals for permission to send the books, newsletters, and follow-up call. What’s the conversation to have with the Ideal Client so that they will follow through and contact the referrals so that I can finish the process?

At last Progress Meeting I asked for introductions and this was the response. "We have approached our friends and everybody is in the frame of mind they have their things in order, they have their ducks in a row and don't want to talk about it?" I responded - this is about sharing the positive experience that you have had with Values-Based Financial Planning™( security, peace of mind) and allowing others to have a Financial Road Map® to guide their decisions. Bill how would you have responded?

How can I increase my referral ratio?
