How to Future Proof Yourself TODAY

Over the last 18 months, I have interviewed 100 Global Business Leaders

and discovered that the number one Secret to their Success is the ability to build strategic alliances across three key audiences:

1. Peers within their Industry

2. Innovators across different Industries

3. Global Influences and Philanthropic Leaders

It is through this that they have

built their own Proprietary Networks of Strategic Alliances,

appeared on Global Stages and

become the Celebrated Leaders of our time and their industries.

Making sure you get all the Referrals you deserve

According to the New York Times, 65% of new business is generated through referrals - and customers are 4 times more likely to buy from you once they have been referred (Nielsen Research).

However, almost 80% of businesses do not have a Referral Marketing System – and there is a good reason for this.

Traditional wisdom claims that asking more times and following up harder will generate more referrals – unfortunately, this violates a fundamental principle of human relationships: the need to give first and to give unconditionally (also known as 'The Golden Rule')

In order to motivate your referral partners to promote you to their network, you need to turn the traditional approach to referral marketing on its head and approach it from a point of generating reciprocation.

Thanks to LinkedIn, it is now possible to complete the entire Referral Marketing Process on LinkedIn - and generate enough referral clients to stop advertising
