Get clarity on your brand with this One sheet
One way to get more referrals is to create a ‘Branding one sheet’. Maribeth Kuzmeski of Red Zone Marketing has written a blog post about this ‘Sheet’. Here’s the link: http://redzonemarketing.com/blog/?s=one+page+branding+sheet.
You can give the sheet to your clients as a tool to help them refer people to you/your service. Below is my first attempt at the ‘Branding one sheet’.

Now there are a number of ways to present the sheet to a person. One way is to say to a person, “One way I get business is by referral. Can I take a moment to show you a way you can help me in this area?” Then you can take them through the sheet. You can also ask for their agreement for you to send them a brief email in three weeks to job their memory about the sheet.
The ‘How to apply’ for this post: Construct a ‘Branding one sheet’ and after feedback and revision start giving it to people to help you acquire more referrals.
