Your clients love you. So why aren’t they sending people your way? 🤔
Spoiler: it’s not luck. Referrals come down to three things:
🗣️ Being easy to talk about
🤝 Having the right people in your corner
💌 Staying on their radar
Here's the breakdown…
1. Be Easy to Talk About 🗣️
Your clients want to refer you.
They just don’t know what to say.
Nobody recommends a practitioner by listing techniques. They say:
“She’s my go-to for fertility stuff.”
“He fixed my runner’s knee.”
A person + a problem. That’s it.
✨ Try this: Ask 3 favorite clients, “How would you describe me to a friend?”
Steal their exact words. That’s your marketing now.
Simple. Specific. Repeatable.
2. Make Practitioner Friends 🤝
Client referrals are nice.
Practitioner referrals snowball.
When another pro recommends you, their trust becomes your trust.
📝 List 5–10 practitioners whose clients need what you do
☕ Invite one to coffee, a walk, or a session trade
🎯 Tell them who you’re perfect for (and who you’re not)
🎁 Send them a referral first
One good referral buddy can beat a year of posting.
3. Stay on Their Radar 💌
People refer you when you pop into their head at the right moment.
Keep it small and sweet:
🍂 A seasonal hello
📬 A helpful email
✍️ A thank-you card every time someone sends you a referral
You don’t have to be loud.
You just have to be remembered.
✅ Quick Check: Are You Referral-Ready?
☐ Can clients explain what I help with in plain words?
☐ Does my website make the first step obvious?
☐ Do I have a few practitioner friends?
☐ Do they know who to send me?
☐ Do I say thank you every time?
☐ Am I staying in touch, consistently?
Fewer than 4 checks? Totally normal. That’s what the next part is for. 👇
