Referrals are among the top ways sellers get leads and new business, but many struggle with generating them consistently. Often, this is because they haven’t thought about why buyers should refer them. They don’t have a system in place for generating referrals.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just talk to the online buyer? Conversational marketing tries to do that.
