If you have ever had an advisor not reciprocate with you, learn the simple process that will ensure this never happens to you again.
One of the most important strategies for growing your practice is to consistently receive referrals from other professionals. Early in my career, I found it frustrating when I'd refer clients to other advisors and not receive referrals in return. I knew there had to be something I could do to consistently receive referrals from other advisors.

Manage the referral process
To effectively give referrals to your partners and receive referrals from them, it's critical to have a process that recognizes the importance of the referrals. In fact, if done properly it can quadruple your referrals! The process steps include the introduction, meetings, and follow up.
Create a follow-up strategy
This step is probably the most important and often the area where most advisors miss the target. Learn what you need to do to avoid common mistakes and automate your follow up process.
Automate the process
Find out what mistakes to avoid and how to leveraged the process. Learn how to avoid the expensive and time-consuming process – which cost me an average of about $50,000 per year for staff and $10,000-$20,000 for the mailers – and to utilize an affordable system that takes most of the time, effort and expense out of the equation. This frees me up to complete the high-value, fixed daily activities that are critical to the continued growth and success of my business.
