About Our Guest: 

You may have been taught that to receive referrals you must ask for them. Stacey Brown-Randall believes the opposite. And her clients are living proof that you do not need to ask, compensate, be overly promotional or manipulate to receive referrals (and tons of them).

There is a better way.

Stacey helps business owners achieve a referral explosion by teaching a simple, 5-step process to receive referrals in a way that honors the relationship with those who refer you. We know the general advice on referrals has been to “just ask.” But when you understand the human dynamic and psychology behind why referrals happen, you unlock the ability to generate referrals without asking for them.
