The Referral Engine: Teaching Your Business to Market Itself

I enjoyed the Referral Engine very much. It's a quick read/listen and is easy to have on during commutes or while excercising. It definitely gives you an almost overwhelming amount of info on how to create a successful referral system for your business. We all know referrals are often the best kind of customers. Who wouldn't want more? This book shows you how to get them easily.

If you read it once, it can be overwhelming, so just take what pieces work for you. Read it again and focus on those pieces.

John Jantsch has done a great job at synthesizing the soft-skills of real world networking with the overview of the online landscape and best practices in networking online. It inspires quick action, but also in thoughtful content creation that generates inbound traffic are beneficial for business owners. I enjoyed the author reading of this book as well.

I've seen this book so many times and thought of purchasing it in print form. I've read so many books on network marketing and thought this book was another. I was hooked to this book, it was nothing as I expected. It gave me great business ideas, and shines a whole new light on working for referrals. I would recommend this book to any small business owner looking for creative ways to gain business through referrals.

Loved it.

This book has a wealth of information for the person running there own business. If you have been in business for any lenght of time you have learned that getting referrals is the one the best business building tools there is and this book give your a wealth of great ideas, from very specific to the basic idea that you need a business that people will talk about. You can have a good business, do everything that you are supposed to but if you don't have a little flair in your business your not giving people a reason to talk about you. This book was such a good listen that I went out and got the paper book for reference. Don't get me wrong, the audio will get you inspired, but going back to the book for reference is also valuable. All in all this book has changed the way I think about my business.

This is probably the most beneficial marketing book I have read so far. If you have read Purple Cow, this book takes that concept further and focuses on real techniques on how to get people to refer you business.

I thought the book had to much pchyco-babble and not enough advice on showing you how to acually get it done. It still leaves you to pretty much figure out the tactics and stratagies on getting referal marketing rolling on your own.

A very good book; well narrated and a good story line. I would recommend this for my friends and family. Thanks to Audible for having this in store.

What an amazing Book!! i believe everyone should read this!! I am in the Insurance Industry in Greece and the story the author has included concerning the Insurance industry in the beginning of the book fit my experience so far!! so i decided to change this and try what he suggests!! will keep you informed on the results!!keep up the great work!! will be referring this book often!!

Jantsch has written a fantastic book about building a business based on referrals. The book is packed with idea after idea for helping your customers refer you to other customers.

If you've already read "The Ultimate Question" then this is the other half. Why just ask how likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague if you don't then ask them to actually get up and make that referral.

My current fave: "You're going to like our product so much that in 30 days I'm going to come back and ask you to introduce me to three friends or colleagues that could also benefit from our product"

This book is a great way to "warm-up" or get in the "mood" for a Brainstorming session. The examples are solid and practical in most business segments (Retail, Service, Professional, etc). The reading was also very good.
