The Recipe for Referrals: How to Earn Icing-on-the-Cake Income From the People Who Know, Like & Trust You w/Kimberly Offord

podcast Aug 24, 2021

Uber, Tesla, and Canva are successful businesses with one thing in common - they all run referral programs, and grow their customer base through the people that already do business with them.

Real estate agents, on the other hand, have a ton of people they’ve done a great job for, but never go after referrals, and this is an expensive mistake. How do we go about changing this?

What makes referrals a more efficient marketing channel than anything else? In this episode, I’m joined by Realtor, mentor, educator, speaker and author, Kimberly Offord. She shares how she gets 90% of her business from referrals, and how we can implement that in our own real estate businesses.

Referrals are nothing but a form of gratitude. You have to give gratitude in order to get it.  
- Kimberly Offord
