If word of mouth is your best source of new customers — but you don't have a system to drive it — you're leaving your best leads up to chance.
 
In this episode, Scott Molchan breaks down exactly how to build a referral system that generates high-quality leads consistently, without spending a dollar on ads. You'll learn why your happiest customers aren't referring you more often, the exact moment to ask for a referral, and the word-for-word scripts you can use on your next job.
 
Scott also covers how to automate the entire follow-up process so you never forget to ask — and how to make it so easy for your customers to refer you that they actually do it.
 
In this episode you'll learn:
•Why referrals close faster and cost less than any other lead source
•The 3 real reasons landscapers aren't getting more referrals
•The "Plant the Seed" script — word-for-word language for project jobs and maintenance routes
•How to automate your referral follow-up so it happens every time without you thinking about it
•Why incentives are nice but not the main driver of referrals
