MINDSET GAME-CHANGER

Thank you Stacey for bringing it back to basics! Truly appreciate your insight and candidness in your book!

Good book with a lot of common sense

This book has a good amount of actionable advice on how to build referral through building relationships and avoid the horrid process of asking for referrals. My only disappointment was that I was unable to access the free resources pages referenced in the book. I hope the author fixes that!

where's the beef?

easy to listen to. got to the end wondering what I really learned. her premise is that asking for referrals doesn't work - I don't think that's true. but ok, I want to learn how to get referrals without asking.

she suggests:
track your referrals
mention that you get referrals
have some plan to stay top of mind with your referral sources through meaningful and memorable touchpoints

sounds great. all very high level. and then the book ends, and she invites you to work with her or join the program.

this was a short book, but mostly filler. not bad ideas, but not very fleshed out.

Very helpful advice

The most valuable information is at the end, where she provides scripts to plant referral seeds. Will be applying this knowledge to my business.

Not enough substance

The author leads up to and teases her actionable framework for building a business that thrives on referrals.  She almost tells you what you need to know. She gives you enough of an appetizer to make you hungry but does not deliver the actual meal. To get that, you'll need to buy her program… And this book is just a four hour lead magnet to get you there.

That's not necessarily a bad thing except for the fact that lead magnets are usually FREE nuggets of value to get you interested in buying the bigger ticket item. Having to pay for a lead magnet that I thought was actually going to teach me something leaves a pretty bad taste in my mouth and does not inspire me to join her program.  

Clear and Concise

Stacey’s steps to an alternative way to gain referrals through deeper relationships are clear and concise. I’m looking forward to measuring where I am now and a year from now…

This stuff works!

Simplicity! She gave actual steps that seem to lead to great business! I’m looking forward to putting this into action!

excellent approach on growing your business

I am a referral-based business already. but this has great nuggets that I will use and grow my business with. thank you for writing it. I might just be one of your coaching clients someday.

well worth it!

Stacey has provided great content and resources. Narration is smooth and easy to listen to.

Unnecessarily verbose but effective

I like the 5 steps and feel this could be massively condensed by half for a more succinct delivery. Overall helpful!
