Client Experience Management = Referrals

By Daryl Logullo | November 7, 2007 | Popularity: 28% | 1,779 views

Here's an interesting post by Arnie Herz, from his blog Legal Sanity, entitled "What Baseball Stadiums Can Teach Law Firms About Client Experience Management."

It's my first time finding Arnie's blog, and I'm impressed–especially as related to delving inside the lawyer's (and law firm's) mind. Understanding their world is an absolute essential if you're attempting to network and grow referrals from these gatekeepers.

Interesting that Arnie would post this in a category called, Non-Traditional Approaches to Practicing Law. Wink

Herz talks about Customer Experience Management, a concept that gets relegated to MBA programs. Shame. Because he's right: businesses need to do more to provide a greater depth of experience to their clients, at all levels.

 I talk about this often, as doing business in the 'details.' In your lobby area. From your receptionist. In the letters you mail out. On your web site. You name it.

Question: What are you doing to foster amazing experiences with you, at every point of contact with your clients?

 

 

 

8 Qualities for Better Referrals

Working with people you don't really enjoy, sucks. No matter how much a person or company pays you, there's too many issues that are bound to arise.

Now, normally… this would be a good thing. But in this situation it's not. At least not in my view.

Here are eight (8) qualities I look for and find attractive in a business relationship when working with others. Basically, if these eight qualities are present, a person is a good candidate for a working relationship with me (if my schedule permits).

Referral Letter Sample

Situation: A great client or customer calls you with some good news: They want to refer someone to you.

Then all of a sudden, they say something like…

"Do you have some sort of letter or something that I can mail to these people I'm thinking about? It would make it a lot easier on me…"

Ut oh. Foot in mouth

What do you do?

How do you handle this request?

One way to take the first step is give them a letter they can sign… drop in the mail… make it as easy as possible for them (like they requested). Fill in the areas with your info.

Here's a sample letter I've created that you can use (no strings.)
