There's a dark side of referrals that nobody will teach you in-house cleaning training. The dark side of referrals is the covert contracts from clients who refer friends.  A client gives you a recommendation and the referrals don't work out. The dark side of referrals is that it costs you the network of neighbors linked to that referral.  You could also get fired by the client who gave you the recommendation.  Yes, it's great to get cleaning customers from referral marketing but not all referrals are equal.  A savvy cleaner understands networking, marketing, and communication to prevent this from happening.    *** MORE VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC *** How Do I Get More House Cleaning Referrals? - https://youtu.be/Buf6YOZqrFI Nextdoor To Get More Cleaning Leads - https://youtu.be/24bnRoJcYwc Reviews - Should I Turn Them Off? - https://youtu.be/ZG_J-SM9114   *** COMPLETE SHOW NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE *** https://askahousecleaner.com/dark-side-of-referrals/   *** RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE *** Endless Referrals, Third Edition - http://amzn.to/2k5eemo The Last Prospecting Guide You'll Ever Need: Direct Sales Edition - http://amzn.to/2fDDZcl The Sniper Approach: How to get referrals without the BS - http://amzn.to/2wZXfYU The Referral Engine: Teaching Your Business to Market Itself - http://amzn.to/2fCgr7u Word of Mouth Marketing: How Smart Companies Get People Talking - http://amzn.to/2xJH0Og Do It!
