Without consistent referrals, sales is an uphill battle.


No referrals means no certainty.

You’ve got cold leads, lower conversion rates and an untapped database. Sales can feel like one big hamster wheel. Lots of effort, little progress.

Even when you have great client relationships, you’re not getting the referrals that you deserve.

Do you find yourself thinking:

  • Why don’t my clients refer more?
  • Why don’t my team ask for referrals?
  • Why does receiving referrals always feel ‘hit and miss’?

It’s time to put more certainty into your sales.

How the Referral Plus program will help you:

Get a structured referral strategy company-wide

Raving fans and random conversations are not enough to drive referrals. You need a consistent and clear process. We do the heavy lifting and create one for your exact business needs.

What would 1 referral per client / year do for your business?


Having ‘ravings fans’ who don’t refer can leave you feeling unrewarded. If you’re relying on awkward, ad – hoc asks, you’re missing out on the referrals you deserve.

Referring can feel risky, which is why 90% of clients say they will refer, but only 10% do.

Our Referral Plus program helps your clients and referral partners understand who, how, why and when to refer, so you can close this “Referral Gap” and ensure your future growth.

  • Customer Return clearly understood the potential within our database that we were letting slip through our fingers. Their insights have now helped us increase our referral numbers by 50%.

  • We now have a clear understanding of what we need to do to promote our services more effectively, deliver even more value and attract new business. The referral strategies made a lot of sense.
    – Martin Matthews
    Partner, PKF Newcastle
  • Our referral partners are now actively referring us clients they otherwise would not have. We’re more attractive to referrals and feel in control of the future of our business.

    FAQ’s


    Who is this for?
    Small to large businesses benefit from Customer Return programs. We tailor our programs to your business and can run them for sales teams, management groups, or in a meeting or conference setting.
    Will this be good value?
    We never want to take on a client unless both parties are confident of getting a 3-fold return on investment within 3 months of implementation. While it’s easy to underestimate the cost of low conversion and referral rates, sub optimal client values and long sales cycles… our program is an investment in our clients’ ongoing business growth.
    Will this be a fit for our business?
    Are you selling a service in a competitive market where prospects can sometimes struggle to choose the best provider? If so, you’re the type of client our program was designed for. A compelling message will help you attract more ideal clients. Visit https://au.linkedin.com/in/nathanwilliamsreferrals for over 75 testimonials from businesses like yours.
    How much time will it take?
    Our programs require approximately 8 hours investment of your time over 4 weeks, although this can be tailored to your preference and needs. Ultimately this will save you time. As you keep using your new messaging, skills and habits, you’ll attract ideal clients faster and have shorter sales meetings.
    How do you help ensure our return on investment?

    Our programs are designed to expedite your return on investment by:

    • Addressing your biggest challenges and growth opportunities
    • Outlining key risks and recommendations to optimise ongoing outcomes
    • Capturing your key content in your style, so you are comfortable using it
    • Coaching to help fast-track implementation for different scenarios
    • Tailoring content and delivering to your team dynamics and business goals
    What do you need from me during the program?
    All we ask is that you complete our pre-workshop questionnaire so we can tailor our program for you and that you participate in our workshop and coaching sessions so you can implement the content to fast track your results.

    Go from an awkward, ad-hoc ask to steady streams of inbound referrals.
