Great work is often rewarded when customers or clients refer those responsible to peers who also have a need for the same quality performance. As valuable as they are, referrals are usually hit or miss and can’t be relied on to happen. Referrals are like an unexpected gift. When they happen, we are delighted, but they are nearly impossible to manufacture.
I really enjoy your content but I find this post to be a bit of an oxymoron. I found you because of Ryan Holiday. Who actively asks me and all of his audience to share his content with anyone who would benefit. Aka asking for the referral
You ask me to share this as well at the end of your posts. Plus when I signed in to comment you offered me other stuff to follow that you were referring me to…I think if you do a crappy job then it’s insincere. But if you are truly helping people out like I believe you are and of course Ryan Holiday with Daily Stoic and Dad then you should ask to share your stuff. The world will be a better place if you share this.
If all you care about is the money then maybe it’s a transaction. But if you truly care about impacting someone you want to help and serve. Big difference.
This holds true in job hunting as well...
Demonstrating genuine gratitude goes a long way.
