Welcome to another power talk Friday! I have Tim Templeton with us today. Tim is the author of a referral of a lifetime in the Ken Blanchard series. Ken is a veteran executive entrepreneur, consultant, international best-selling author, speaker and lifelong learner. Tim and I are going to be talking about referrals. We will discuss how to get them, how to access them, how to ask for them and how to maximize them. I know from personal experience that this is something that entrepreneur’s struggle with. Show Notes: What is the importance of referrals? What is Tim’s philosophy? How did Tim meet Ken Blanchard? Is there an art to getting referrals? What process should you use to get a referral? How should you go about rebuilding a relationship? All referrals are not treated equally! What is a perfect client avatar?
