Is there a way to succeed in business without really “selling”?

Yes. It’s called referral-based marketing.

Paul Hutchinson is a master at it, and if you attend this presentation, you’ll be on your way to mastery, too. Paul will help us with a problem many of us face: Independent consultants and other solo professionals often find “selling” the thing they least like to do. But the essence of being in business for yourself – “on your own,” as they say – is taking responsibility for bringing in new work.

Paul will talk us through these questions you may have about building your business or practice through referrals:

• What is a referral-based marketing program?
•  How can it drive the growth of my business or practice?
• Why do some people get great referrals, while others do not?
• How do I go about asking for referrals?
• How do I follow up effectively
