How to Identify Other Professionals for Interior Design Referrals

Hands down, the best opportunity because prospects trust their friends, family, and professionals they do business with. But, how do you find referral opportunities? In this video, I am sharing how you can find other professionals that can help you build your business through referrals.

Now, here is a really important point. Every business relationship needs to be a two-way opportunity. Therefore, if you are seeking referrals from another professional, you must also make it enticing for them.

For instance, if you are a residential designer, you may build relationships with realtors. You may want to meet their new home buyers in a certain price range. A new home buyer with a higher-end home may be an ideal client for your design services. But, what’s the benefit to the realtor for passing their client to you?

The simplest reward is to refer clients back to the realtor, but that isn’t always possible. Unfortunately, you may not have many opportunities to refer clients to the realtor. Therefore, you need to look at other opportunities to add value to the realtor.

As a service provider, many realtors are looking to provide more client benefits that don’t take more time. For instance, many realtors may have a list of high-valued consultants who can offer their clients additional services. When clients use one of these referred professionals, they are even happier with their realtor. As a result, the happy client will refer the realtor to their friends. They will also refer you. Crazy how that works.
