Generate Referrals Systematically
Turn referrals from something you hope for into something you proactively generate.
Team NetworksSetup
Go to Settings → Preferences → Signals → Competitors and add your best customers, partners, and connectors alongside actual competitors.
The Referral Workflow
- Go to Signals and filter by ICP fit + engaged with your referrer's profile
- Identify ICP-fit prospects engaging with your customer — they likely know each other
- Write the ask: include specific names, an easy out, and a copy-paste intro blurb
- Time it right — after a milestone, when the client is happy
What Makes the Ask Work
| Approach | Effectiveness |
|---|---|
| Never asking | Hoping referrals trickle in |
| "Know anyone who'd benefit?" | Vague, easy to ignore |
| "Do you know Alex, Ross, or Kurt? Here's a blurb." | Specific, effortless, high conversion |
Bulk referrals
Export the full list → filter the Signal Engaged Profile column by your referrer's name → pick 3–4 people per ask.
