Referral Selling Dos and Don'ts

Referral selling utilizes recommendations from satisfied customers or a trusted network, often called a center of influence, to gain new clients.

Recently, Janek Managing Partner Nick Kane joined host Paul Watts on the Sales Reinvented podcast to discuss referral selling.

He also addresses timing your ask, measuring success, and the role of technology. As always on Sales Reinvented, Nick presents his top-three dos and don’ts of referral selling.
