Asking a happy client for a referral
Phone call with the HR head of a sugar mill in Satara, two months after a placement settled in well.
They sayAnil is doing really well. Thank you for finding him.
Strong replies
I'm glad to hear it. Is there another mill owner you know who's facing the same shortage?
Would you be comfortable introducing me? I can write a short note for you to forward.
Why they work
Asking at the moment of a win, for a specific type of contact, and offering to write the note, makes the referral easy to give.
A weak reply
Thanks! Please do tell anyone who might need us. It is too vague to act on, so nothing happens.
