Most service-based professionals will tell you that the #1 marketing channel they want to use to get new clients is referrals. In particular, getting referrals from other professionals offers the tantalizing hope of knowing where your next client is coming from and avoiding the feast and famine rollercoaster that is exhausting and demoralizing. In this talk, Jay Kingley, co-founder and CEO of Centricity, will share with you:

· The 3 big mistakes that most professionals make that causes the number of referrals they receive to be a fraction of what they should be getting
· How to use a simple psychological driver of human behavior to massively increase the number of client referrals you get
· Why the top 5% use a proactive referral program using a professional network while everybody else stops never advances beyond being reactive.

Jay will share the insights, process, and methodology that Centricity uses to help its members generate 10X+ the number of referrals that close into paying clients 80% of the time. This interactive and engaging presentation will be followed by Q&A and discussion groups to get you started on incorporating these insights into your business.
