How to Get Your Clients to Refer Others Consistently
The best compliment a client can give you is to refer someone to you!
Referrals are the most powerful form of advertising as it comes from a friend
and/or trusted source. Referrals are, for some beauty techs, the lifeline of their business.
However, getting clients to send you referrals can sometimes be a challenge. People are busy tending to day to day activities and often forget about your services unless someone asks "who does your nails?" or "who did your makeup?".
Getting Referrals

your clients to do so. It has to be effortless on their part.
Also, your customer service has to be top notch . If you have been taking the advice found on this blog and in your workbook, clients will be more than happy to send you new business.
