Instant Referrals System

One of the most crucial job of a sales manager is to ensure that the business has a constant supply of new leads or new clients.  This is because we know that there is a natural attrition rate of 20% every year,  that is, 20% customers going away every year even if we do nothing wrong.  

Chasing new business is often thought of by many as something to be done by marketeers and bosses.  In reality, getting new business is easy.  But it is even easier not to get any new business.  This means we get our customers to do the selling for us, or use referrals.  

You see, the difference between a promotion and a business is simple - when you have to go out and find yourself another customer, what you have is a ongoing marketing promotion, not a business.  A business is where you buy a customer and then sell them many things over and over again, that is, you have an ongoing income stream. How to have an instant Referral System?  There are 5 elements:
  1. Great Product or Service.  Not just great packaging or attractive pricing, but great product. Like iPhone 6, not Note 4.
  2. Customer Contact.  You need to be in constant contact with your customers, for only when there is contact will there be action.  The best way to contact your customers regularly is to support them after the sale process
  3. Good Reason to Refer People to You.  One of the best reasons is 'what's in it for me?'  How does referring business to you help your customer?  Do they get better deals, or more committed quality service from you?
  4. Incentives.  Even with good reason, people still don't take action, because the push must come from benefits.  Incentives that attract customers to give referrals to you could be free gift or service, discount or exclusive deals
  5. Easy Way.  Finally people need to have an easy way to give you referrals.  The easiest way is to build giving referrals into your sales process. Like when they just bought from you, they are given a discount voucher that is transferable.
If you too want to have an ongoing sales, you need a Sales Success System.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
