Word of mouth is great when people are willing to talk. If they're not, you have to take other measures! Andrea,

You have the same problem that great plastic surgeons have – your best clients don’t want to broadcast that you’re their clients.

Word of mouth is great when people are willing to talk. If they’re not, you have to take other measures!

It's true, every customer has the potential to give us a great gift or destroy a portion of our business. Still, if we're delivering great value, referrals will come in. I have a business that's very odd when it comes to word-of-mouth marketing. Some people are definitely reluctant to tell others that they work with me - I'm kind of their "secret weapon" and they don't want to lose credibility in the business world. However, the clients that are open about their spiritual perspective usually send lots of referrals my way. Blessings, Andrea Such a great reminder!
