    About this audiobook

    Your Best Prospects Are Referred Prospects!

    Nobody likes cold calls. And nobody really needs to make them. The Referral of a Lifetime teaches a step-by-step system that will allow anyone to generate a steady stream of new business through consistent, qualified referrals while retaining and maximizing business with existing customers. Tim Templeton emphasizes the importance of applying the golden rule in business—putting the relationship with your customer first, rather than just making the sale.

    This second edition adds a technique for creating a profile of your ideal customer and explains how to reach the tipping point on online reviews and testimonials so you can expand your business 24/7. Your customers, colleagues, and friends already know every new contact you will ever need to succeed. When you apply Tim Templeton's system, they will naturally refer those potential new customers to you.

      COMPLETE WASTE OF 4 HOURS... This must be the World Record for the "Longuest Time to say something that could fit on ONE page...": 1) Make Lists of 250 people you know, 2) Divide them in A/B/C columns according to quality, 3) Put relationships first... Also maybe the worst use EVER of Storytelling, instead of telling stories to ILLUSTRATE or TEACH with IMPACT... telling the Story of Suzie and Sheila-Marie learning and drinking coffee and talking...
    • 5/5
      The book is very inspiring and based on the universal truth Of putting others first and being generous. It takes away the discomfort of making a sales and pushing any product or service into anyone. Looking forward to put everything I learned into practice.
    • 5/5
      You must get past the juvenile story-writing style, because it's an excellent basic layout, for all people on all levels! Highly recommend to take action notes in each chapter that they have "Suzie" do, and mirror it! I will be going back through and doing the same thing, myself! EXCELLENT
