How to Get Client Referrals for Your Service
How to Get Client Referrals for Your Service
1. Deliver Outstanding Service
First impressions matter. When you serve a client, go beyond their expectations.
Communicate clearly and be responsive throughout the service process.
Happy clients are the ones most willing to refer you!
2. Ask for Referrals at the Right Time
After completing a job successfully (when the client is happiest), politely ask if they know anyone else who might need your service.
Example Script:
> “I’m glad you’re happy with my service! If you know anyone else who might need [service name], I’d really appreciate your referral.”
3. Make Referring Easy
Create a simple message your clients can forward (WhatsApp, SMS, or email).
Provide a direct link to your Mimfinder profile or service page.
Example:
> “Need reliable [service]? Check out [Your Name] on Mimfinder: [link]!”
4. Offer a Small Incentive (Optional)
You can say, “Refer a friend and get a 5% discount on your next service.”
Or offer a small gift (e.g., free consultation, bonus service).
5. Stay in Touch with Past Clients
Send occasional follow-up messages to past clients.
Example:
> “Hi [Name], just checking in! If you or someone you know needs [service], I’m available and happy to help.”
6. Showcase Testimonials
Ask happy clients to write short reviews.
Post their testimonials on your Mimfinder profile, social media, or website (if you have one).
People trust service providers with visible good feedback.
7. Join and Engage in Communities
Stay active in WhatsApp groups, Facebook groups, and local forums where your target clients hang out.
Share tips, answer questions, and mention your services naturally (not spamming).
Trust brings referrals.
8. Create a Referral Program (Advanced)
Build a simple “referral reward” system:
> “Every time you refer someone who hires me, you get [reward]!”
Track referrals properly to avoid confusion.
Key Reminder:
People refer people they trust and like.
Focus first on building relationships, delivering excellent service, and making yourself easy to recommend.
register your business to be discovered by customers who need your service.
