The Referral of a Lifetime: Never Make a Cold Call Again! (The Ken Blanchard Series - Simple Truths Uplifting the Value of People in Organizations)

Here's the scene: You are so good at your technique, you launch. You land your first $30K in revenue. Then you spend it. Sweet Lord, you can serve your clients like no one in the market. But now you're frightened and insular. You stop loving, you stop serving, you stop connecting. The flow dries up and your proud tail starts to tuck. Then you pick up Tim's book. All of the sudden, it all flips around. The simplest principles, with a hand-holding step-by-step approach gives you the value of a $25K executive coach! If you only have 1.0 of the Referral book, chuck it and run, not walk, to get the new updated 2.0. If you haven't read it, get all copies... e-book, print, and audio. It's 1.0 that has spent ten years at the gym and listening deeply to readers of 1.0. Thanks to Tim's work, I just got my future back, as well as permission to love and serve my network and unleash unimaginable value. Already people are asking me "How can I help you grow _your_ business, Matt?" Feel free to reach out if you want to hear more about how my biz and my head/heart are being unleashed by aligning my life to these principles and practicing these skills. Thanks, Tim!

What a great book with amazing simple insights in how to do great business. How to gain referrals like a pro with a simple outline.

I loved this book. It gives a completely different perspective on how marketing should be done. We live in a world where funnels and ads seem to be king, when all that’s required to truly make a difference is building valuable relationships.

While I found the storyline a little kitschy, it did help make the assimilation of the business process & steps very easy and even fun. I was able to read through and do the assignments pretty quickly myself and am excited to implement this process in my own business.

I have been in sales for the last 18 years. I have known that a referral based business was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but I did not have a system or clear path to get me there, well all that has changed now! Thank you, Tim, for writing this book.

I totally enjoyed and gleaned lots of great guidance. This is a book I would recommend to anyone wanting to know how to not make cold calls and instead do relational marketing!

What makes this book different, beyond the business takeaways, is that it’s told as a really compelling story. I am excited to practice these tips, and share this book with friends.

The principles in the book were really good I just had a tought time reading through it. I love to read but this book put me to sleep multiple times. It had a lot of story telling in there . If that’s your style of learning you may like it

A well laid out and comprehensive book on how to get a full practice through systematic actions. The playful narrative made it an easy read.

What a revelation! The community approach to building your business and wealth.

Great book

I like the story telling style of writing, the reinforcement of key points and clearly stated principles. Seems a common sense approach, which is often the best way. I came away with many helpful ideas and learning that are easy to implement.
