Strategic Partnerships & Referrals

The most profitable high-ticket IBs get 60%+ of their clients from referrals.

Step 1: Deliver exceptional service (prerequisite)

Step 2: Ask at the right moment:

After resolving an issue successfully

Step 3: Make it easy:

"Do you know anyone who might benefit from the same setup?"

Don't ask for contact details — let them make the introduction

Update them on the referral's onboarding (with permission)
