Folks had always been happy to refer me to potential clients and I was most appreciative of those referrals! I also rewarded them for their referrals and I offered them a range of my services for free that they could use to provide additional value to their clients. Becoming referral worthy.

I ran their web business service unit which hit $180 million in ARR last quarter. That’s great, we get the brand and we get second order revenue and referrals, we should do that. He was a junior sales rep just cold calling and qualifying deals. The 20 to 40K thing is consultative.

This is understandable when you consider that data shared in the Harvard Business Review suggests that 90% of decision makers won’t respond to cold calls, according to Sales Leadership Forum.
