If the primary care physician deems that in fact the services of the specialist are required, he/she will write a referral so that the specialist visit will be insured. Without a referral, the services performed by the specialist may not be covered.

HMOs in New York are required by law to offer both standardized HMO plans and point of service (POS) to those who seek to purchase individual health insurance. An HMO is a health insurance provider that works directly with a particular network of doctors, hospitals, and other medical professionals. This means your medical care must be from someone in the network and your insurance most likely will not cover medical care from those who are not in the network. If you need to visit a specialist covered in the network you will need a referral.

HMO/s are a bit more flexible because you can obtain medical care from both the and out-of-network medical professionals. Although, with an HMO/POS plan you will most likely pay more and the number of services offered is lower. You will still need a referral in order to visit a specialist covered in the network.

With individual health insurance in New York, you will be able to choose either type of plan (HMO or HMO/POS) at any time and not be denied coverage due to health reasons. If you have a pre-existing that was diagnosed and treated within the six month period before you applied for individual health insurance coverage, you may be required to wait up to a year before your health insurance will cover the pre-existing health condition. However, if you have a pre-existing health condition but you were previously insured, the waiting period will most likely be reduced as long as you reapply for health insurance within 63 days of the time your previous coverage expires. This is why it is important to keep up with the expiration dates of your health coverage and prevent any time lapses between coverage periods. http://www.myquoteguide.com/ http://www.ezquoteguide.com/home http://www.ezquoteguide.com/car ]]> Powerful Referral Networks - Build A Powerful Referral Network And They Will Come http://www.artwoo.com/article/powerful-referral-networks-build-a-powerful-referral-network-and-they-will-come http://www.artwoo.com/article/powerful-referral-networks-build-a-powerful-referral-network-and-they-will-come#comments Fri, 22 Jun 2007 01:30:01 +0000 referral networkreferral feequality prospectslone rangerslone rangersolo businesscompanies increase http://www.artwoo.com/article/powerful-referral-networks-build-a-powerful-referral-network-and-they-will-come solo business owners, we sometimes feel like "s" on our own, trying to figure out ways to bring in more clients. A business owner's survival and growth depends largely on bringing in new clients. Who wants to be alone on the range, single-handedly trying to figure out how to bring in clients and expand business? That takes tremendous energy, and hard work to produce average results.

Instead of operating on your own, there are ways to creating a sales force of people happy to refer business to you. Think about how big their sales. They have large sales forces out there selling their products. The sales people are educated about the product, calling on prospects, and are paid commissions based on the number of accounts they bring in. One of the differences between a big company and you is that YOU are the "one." You are your sales force, that is, if you operate as a "Lone Ranger."

An effective way of creating your sales force is through your . A referral network is a group of people who already know you, understand your business, and can refer people interested in buying your product or service. With a powerful referral network, an unlimited flow of start coming to you quickly and effortlessly. You never have to cold-call again! This is the easiest and most effective way to establish an ongoing stream of warm leads.

Building a referral network begins with educating people you already know, your clients, colleagues, friends, and people you meet. You want to clearly articulate what you do, who your ideal client is, how your product or service helps your clients, and what's unique about working with you. Once these people are educated about your product, they become your own "sales force." However, just like any sales force, it helps to motivate them to sell by giving them something special as a thank you.

Consider offering a or a special gift to those people who refer business to you. People will be motivated to refer business to you, if they're rewarded for it. I know, as a sales person, what motivated me the most to bring in those sales was the commission check I received at the end of the month. And, I still love receiving those checks. I've been referring business to a colleague and I'm delighted when I receive a thank you note and check from him. It's an incentive to think of other people who can benefit from his service.

By organizing a healthy referral network, you're going to be able to rely on other people out in the world, all educated about the merits of your product or service, willing to become your marketing machine.

Here are six steps to follow that will help you set up a powerful referral network.

1. Change Your Mindset: For some people, there's hesitancy when it comes to asking for referral business. We have thoughts like, "They won't want to help me," or "How do I even ask?" Before you project these fears, step back and consider. If a customer's satisfied with you, they're delighted to help you out. Also, people in your personal and professional circle who believe in you, want to help you grow.

2. Be Proactive: Rather than waiting for people to offer referrals, ask, because more than likely, they don't think to offer. Occasionally, they may say to you "I told my friend about you." It's really great when that happens, but don't rely on it.

3. Write What You Want to Say: To help you gain confidence, write the words you want to say. Then practice saying it aloud until you're comfortable with it. We all feel uncomfortable doing something new. It's just like going to the health club and working out. You have to use that muscle over and over again in order to build strength. It's the same thing with asking for referrals.

4. When to Ask a Client: The best time to ask a client for a referral is immediately after you've received a compliment, and/or once the sale is closed. Once your client utters the words, "I'm happy working with you. I really have enjoyed this." That's your cue to ask if there's anyone else they know who would benefit in the same way from your services.

5. Referrals Fees: Establish a referral program whereby people receive a referral fee or special gift for the people they refer to you. Let your referral network know in advance what they can expect in return for their referrals. Giving referrals works both ways. If people refer business to you, tell them you will do the same for them.

6. Keep Track: Once the steady flow of referrals starts coming in, it's time to start managing all these leads in an organized manner. There are several software programs designed to you help track your business and referrals. Outlook, ACT, and Goldmine are several software programs to check out.

ASSIGNMENT

* Write a clear and compelling message of what you do, who your ideal client is, how your product or service helps your clients, and what's unique about working with you.

* Practice saying it aloud and role play with a buddy until you are comfortable saying the words.

* Start calling the people in your personal and professional circle, educate them about what you do, and invite them to be part of your "Referral Network."

It says that they trust you not only to put your to work for them, but they also want you to help their family and friends as well.

Because a potential new client has been sent to you by a family member or friend, they are much more likely to do business with you. After all, don't we all want to deal with an insurance agent who will ultimately just take really good care of us?

Some clients will send you a referral without even thinking about it. Other clients can be asked for a referral. Either way, it is important for you to reward this "good behavior" when it occurs so that you encourage more of it to continue.

Here are some tips for growing a referral business pipeline in your agency.

1. Adopt a consistent process for rewarding the referring party. After the referral comes in and the new business is written, create a consistent process that makes sure acknowledgement of the referring party occurs. The last thing you want to do is let this referral go unnoticed! Be sure to make your agency staff aware of the referral rewarding process as well so that you don't have a referral slip through the cracks.

2. Decide how you are going to reward people when they send you a referral. It could be something as simple as a handwritten thank-you note. Or, it could be a small such as a gift card from a coffee shop.

3. Keep it legal! Because state laws vary, make sure that you are acting within the limits of your state. Some states say that you cannot give more than $25 of value per year to a client. Be sure to find out what the law dictates for your state.

4. Be consistent. It will be easier to keep up with your if you do it the same way every time. This also makes it easier to purchase several units of in advance. For example, if you are going to give away $10 gift cards from a coffee shop, purchase 10 at a time and keep them on hand. Buying in bulk may even make it possible to get a discount in some cases.

5. Let them know they can send you their family and friends. After all, your clients aren't mind readers. Consistently let them know that you want to help anyone that they send your way. It can be a P.S. at the end of a letter that you send out or it could be a referral link that you include in an email marketing campaign to your clients each month that makes it easy for your clients to send you a referral.

In the end, clients that receive your thanks and praise for sending you their friends and family will become more likely to repeat their referral efforts. It is a winning proposition for you, the agent because the alternative means of acquiring new customers can be significantly more expensive.

Using a referral incentive program can end up serving as a win/win situation for everyone involved. You get new clients. Plus, your clients think you are great because you take care of them along with their friends and family.

Never heard the manager's mantra? The "manager's mantra" is an important variable in successful . The manager's mantra is "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it." Well, that is nice Henry and how will that help me?

Most attorneys have some sort of (if only a small one) however; attorneys really don't know how to manage their lawyer marketing so that their referral network expands. The first step in this expansion is to know where you are and then you can figure out how to get to where you want to go. Yes, it is important to understand the geographics, demographics and psychographics of your referral sources/clients for sure and you need a lawyer system. By understanding more about how to manage your legal marketing referral sources, you can grow this referral network and boost your attorney marketing efforts with less work on your part.

What Your Expanded Lawyer Marketing Delivers To You

What does having this lawyer marketing management system in place mean for you? If you are working your legal marketing referral sources well, you are building a base that will make a significant impact on your bottom line, as I am sure you know. You will be sent more business and be able to retain more that will in turn send you more quality business. You will have an easier time saying no to mediocre or poor cases and holding out for top dollar cases. You can even pass on work that simply does not appeal to you personally if you know that your lawyer marketing referral base will consistently deliver.

Professional marketers know the process of wooing a referral base involves creating "know, like, trust, relationship, credibility, and top of mind awareness (TOMA)" with your legal marketing referral sources. I think you see the benefits clearly so lets move on to giving you the management tool to make it a reality.

Measuring a Lawyer Marketing Referral Base

Lawyer marketing is not always and exact science and that does not keep us from keeping statistics. The "game" of legal marketing will be improved just like keeping statistics in baseball, football or hockey improves performance. The tool we will use consists of four basic lists to measure your legal marketing referral base as it exists currently and see where your attorney marketing time needs to be focused thus putting your resources into those referral sources with the potential for the most return.

The first list is called the "Top 20" List. If you only have a few lawyer marketing referral sources, obviously, it may only be the Top 10 or even the Top 2 List. But the first objective after listing your top lawyer marketing referral sources is to increase the list to 20 if it is not there already so that is why we call it the Top 20 list. In order to qualify for the Top 20 List, a referral source must have sent you X amount of business in the past year and has hit that level consistently over the last three years. Depending on your practice area, X may be one, two, or three very profitable cases. For example, if you are a PI lawyer you might consider X to equal the referral of at least one case that netted the practice over $25,000 in contingency fees (or set the benchmark higher or lower as you see fit). If you practice residential real estate then X might equal someone who sent you a minimum of 3 closings per month (again you can set this benchmark higher or lower depending on your current situation). Bottom line here is whether for PI, estate planning, family law, or real estate legal marketing, you will know what level is appropriate for your Top 20 level of lawyer marketing attention.

The second list is the "Farm Team" List. Here we are using a baseball metaphor of your Top 20 being the "major leagues" and this second list being the farm team in training for moving up to the big leagues of the Top 20. Your Farm Team List consists of those legal marketing referral sources who are between having at least tried to send you someone up to whatever you have set the threshold of being a Top 20 list member. This trying to send you someone can be as casual as a friend asking if his or her neighbour called you after being given your card by your friend. We all know that lawyer marketing is sometimes this accidental.

The third list is the "Who You Know" List and is similar to any standard networking list. It includes everyone you know, even everyone your spouse knows, as well as those people known by your family and your staff. Take this one out as far as you like. The bigger it gets the better for lawyer marketing.

Finally, there is the lawyer marketing "Categories List". This is a list of professions and occupations in general that would have the capacity to refer business to you. There are no names on this list, only general occupations/professions. For example, a PI lawyer might list nurses, physical therapists, medical technicians, chiropractors, neurologist, plastic surgeons, orthopaedists etc. while a family lawyer might list psychologists, social workers, marriage counselors, CPAs, hairdressers, real estate lawyers, etc.

Working a Lawyer Marketing Referral Base

Now you have measured your lawyer marketing referral network what do you do with that list? Just to be sure I need to say every lawyer has as their best referral source category other lawyers so be sure to list all other practice areas that would have a particular ability to refer to your practice area on your categories list. Also every lawyer marketing system needs to list "current clients" as a category and put those clients on the Top 20 and Farm Team list as they move out of the Who You Know List since clients should be on the Who You Know List. Also some of your clients are in the categories you have listed and they need particular attention first in legal marketing.

The way you use the list in lawyer marketing is to pay particular attention first to building and maintaining relationships with your Top 20 and Farm Team List members. As you deepen and develop those relationships they will send you more clients than ever before since you are building "know, like, trust, relationship, credibility, and top of mind awareness (TOMA)" with these people. Ask the Top 20 and Farm Team members to introduce you to other people they know in the categories that have the ability to refer to you and they will. See if any of the Who You Know List members are in the categories you are seeking and cultivate those members. See if the Who You Know List members can introduce you to people on your categories list. You get the idea here. Over time you will fill your Top 20 and Farm Team lists thus only have time to devote to maintaining and building from them I am sure.

Referrals not only eliminate sales expenses and cut your prospecting time but it is a great pre sale mechanism as those that are referred tend to come with a "buy it now" mentality. In addition, referrals are proof that your customers are satisfied with your service or and that they'll too be back for more.

In order to get more referrals, you have to give more of yourself. That's right. You always have to be open and willing to go that for your clients. This means that you should always establish a "win-win" policy that benefits you and your clients. By doing this, your customers will be ecstatic to give you a referral because they appreciate your commitment to customer service and naturally want to recommend others which enhances the "win-win" policy you've established.

Second, you have to have set realistic and definite referral goals. For instance, do you want to get at least 2 new referrals every month or 1 a week? is, make sure that you write it down and act on it. By being crystal clear about your referral expectations, you will see an immediate increase in your which will not only increase morale but your bottom line as well.

Third, ask and you should be given. Never be afraid to ask satisfied customers for referrals. In fact, if you asked for 1 referral a week, you'd have 52 by the end of the year. Many business owners that by simply asking satisfied clients for help, they essentially open the referral floodgates.

Fourth, use to secure referrals. For instance, you can run a customer contest, give away prizes or even develop an iron clad that rewards those that give your referrals. Another great out-of-the-box strategy is to hire a referral someone that can research referral prospects and smooze them on your behalf. In return, you can pay them a set fee or pay them a commission for their efforts. Just be creative with your ideas and watch those referrals roll in.

Fifth, take on a joint venture partner. As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. By taking on a joint venture partner, you'll have immediate access to their clients and they will have access to yours. As you might guess, this will instantly provide you with a hungry pool of prospects that may be interested in your services.

Sixth, follow up with all referees. After you receive a referral, make sure that you do something special for the person that referred you. For instance, you can give them a discount off your product or service or even send them a special gift that they can use. The key is to be appreciative for their referral.

In conclusion, referrals are extremely important to the success of your business endeavors. By giving more of yourself, setting realistic goals, trying creative referral strategies, and following up with referees, you can get more referrals than you ever dreamed of having. The key is to ask and you shall receive and watch those referrals come in. Srini Saripalli is a technologist, marketer and Success Coach.

Best case, the situations end with a lot of frustration. Worst case, working with a poor business-person can cost a lot of money. As a small business owner, I always ask two questions: 1) What did they do wrong? (Everyone always has LOTS to say about this) and 2) How did you find this person's services? More often than not, my friend telling the "bad experience" story found the "bad businessperson" through traditional advertising -- not through referral. These are the 7 Top Reasons why you should always find your business vendors by referral.

1) They have proven themselves. When someone is "referred in" to your business, that person has already done business with a friend or colleague. The vendor from the is like a box of chocolates. With a referred businessperson, you KNOW that they have performed in the past, and they are more likely to perform in the future. This track record is important when choosing your vendor.

2) They have something to lose. Namely, the of your friend! Your referred vendor appreciates and protects every person who values their services and continues to support their good business practices. Unlike the "phone book vendor," who does their business from phone call to phone call, the person won't "bite the hand that feeds them" and the who gave them your business.



3) They have something to gain. The businessperson who chooses to do their is always seeking more referrals. In order to gain this referral business, they must build professional relationships -- the core of which is solid work. When a vendor approaches work with the mindset of "growing their business by referral" the consumer will always receive quality service.

4) They have more time for you. The average small business owner spends 85% of their time prospecting for new business. This seems completely backwards to most people -- but finding business is the hardest part of small business! The successful businessperson who has built their business by referral has the luxury of a constant stream of incoming business -- and is therefore able to spend more quality time with their customers.

5) They are more pleasant to work with. Type A personalities typically excel at gaining their business by referral -- they are the quintessential "people people" who love and need constant interaction. Even if your referral vendor isn't the stereotypical "Type A" they will still, more than likely, be a pleasant person to do business with -- after all, it takes a little more than good work to continue to receive business referrals. Your friend or colleague got along with this vendor -- you probably will, as well!

6) They are more professional. Referral businesspeople look at a new business transaction as a way to build a new relationship. The "phone book vendor" looks at a new business transaction as an order that needs to be filled. The referral businessperson will conduct themselves in a manner they expect will result in future business from you, and your friends and colleagues.

7) They will return the favor. Referral businesspeople know the value of referrals and tend to only do business this way. If you truly "click" with your referral vendor, and put them in your catalogue of people to refer to, the chances are that they will return the favor. In doing so, you will build your own sphere of influence, and your own business.

Doing business by referral is a much more pleasant and effective way of filling your needs, and your customers' needs.

Referral businesspeople tend to be much more pleasant, professional, and effective than vendors who solely advertise by traditional means. The referral businessperson values your business, and the business of your friends and colleagues, and will make sure that you are satisfied with their services. By looking to your friends, family, and colleagues, rather than to the phone book, you will almost always have a pleasant experience!

It is a good idea to know a few because you will have patients ask you who you recommend from time to time. Your patient will be very thankful if you refer them to a good LMT, especially if they were going to resort to a blind attempt of finding someone credible by using the phone book. If your is sound, you should not be intimidated by massage therapists and understand that what you do is very different. You should also be able to explain these differences. Unfortunately sometimes the general public may not know the difference between massage therapist and chiropractors. That's fine; this can be another opportunity to educate your patients.

Your first necessity is to come into with a reputable massage therapist. Introduce yourself to as many as possible throughout your town or area of practice. Many will offer you a tour of their facility and sometimes even a . Take them up on the free massage if offered. This will give you a chance to see how good they are at what they do and give you more time to work on your new by visiting with them. When you are visiting with these LMT's you are interviewing them at the same time. They are probably interviewing you also. Ask yourself questions like, "is this someone I would trust with my patient", "could I see myself becoming a client of this person?" They need to have a respectable facility, reasonable fees and a philosophy that is somewhat close to your own. The last thing you want to do is refer a patient to a bad business that does not share your same philosophy. This could jeopardize your relationship with your patient.



I recommend you have about 4 to 5 massage therapist that you have built a rapport with. They need to be spread out in your area of practice for two reasons. First your patients do not want to drive all over town to get to your recommended LMT. Second this gives you a spread out area to receive your referrals from. Once you have your 4 to 5 LMT's you can trust and refer to, you also have 4 to 5 LMT's referring to your business. As always it is a good idea to keep in contact with each of them periodically to maintain your network.



When you refer a patient to a LMT, call them and let them know you sent that patient over to their business. Do no be afraid to put light pressure on them to refer you a patient or two when the timing is right.

Occasionally LMT's will want to barter with you. You may want to do the same. It is your decision. This may be the chance you are looking for to build your network relationship even stronger.



A great way that I have found to start the referral process with LMT's and build my practice at the same time is to offer a monthly special. For example, in the month of July refer a friend or family member to our office and receive a free 30 minute massage from a licensed massage therapist. Post signs in your office, have your receptionist tell patients and tell them yourself. This inspires patients to refer people to your office and at the same time allows you to start the referral process with your network of LMT's. Run the special only once every few months. This puts a since of urgency to your patients to receive their free massage. The only down side is you pay for the 30 minute massage. This is a small price to pay to add a new patient to your growing practice, and some massage therapist will give you discounts for your paid referrals. Again, it's a win, win, win situation for everyone involved.

It is? Well, then you're in the wrong business. Network marketing means just what it says. You are a network marketer. That means you need to network, and if you don't do that most important thing, you'll never succeed.

s are a good place to start honing the art of becoming a good mentor. In most exchanges, when you get a referral into the program, you are notified by the site's admin. This is great because you can take immediate action to assure that you remain on your recruit's mind. If you can't do it immediately, be sure to respond to this alert within 24 hours. Send your referral a private message, if this feature is available at the traffic exchange. If not, send an email, an IM, or even call them on the telephone. I know this isn't everyone's choice, but it works even better than mail. Yet, if you insist on sending a written messge of some type, there are dos and don'ts.

In your welcome message, do be sure to thank the person for joining you in the program. Point out places where new members will find regarding the site, such as to a tutorial or an FAQ section. Tell the person that you will be happy to help, if he or she still has questions, and provide your information.

The more ways you give people to reach you, the better. Give them your email , your IM address, and even your telephone number. If you're about doing that, maybe your cell phone number would seem better. Just remember, you can always change a number, but most folks who call you are just looking for guidance in their own online careers. They're in search of a beacon. You can be that beacon for them, if you don't abuse the privilege.

Sponsors who send an ad for another program in their messages are spamming, pure and simple. Don't do it. Aside from it being against the terms of service in a majority of exchanges, it's just rude. Offer help and guidance and that person will probably join your program anyway, just because you've taken your time to be helpful.

I can't tell you how many emails I've had, telling me that, "I joined Program XYZ, and my upline sponsor said she'd call, but never has," or "I never knew I had an upline sponsor in XYZ." Well, it's a shame you weren't that person's upline sponsor in that traffic exchange, huh? You probably will be in others, if you just give him or her a little support. It's a cold, cruel World Wide Web out there, folks. Be kind to others, and you are sure to succeed.

If you are at all familiar with , then you can think of MLM's as "affiliate marketing on ." Whenever you refer a paying customer, you get paid a commission based on the price of that product. Your commission might be a flat fee, or it might be a certain percentage of the sale.

Now, as you build your downline, they will also be referring new customers. Each time a member of your downline makes a sale, you earn another commission. This commission is smaller than what you'd make from a direct referral, but the impact is cumulative.

To better show you how this works, let's take use the example of a multi-level program with a network going five levels deep.

Your might look like this:

Direct Referral: 50% of sale 2nd Level: 20% of sale 3rd Level: 10% of sale 4th Level: 5% of sale 5th Level: 2% of sale

Notice that your levels are filled out by your immediate downline building their downline, which builds another downline, and so on until all 5 levels are filled.

You might wonder how the company itself makes any money when there are all these people taking a portion of the sale?

The first thing to realize is that a multi-level network like does not overlap beyond five levels. In other words, your will not earn a commission from a sale made by someone in the 5th level of your downline.

Also, notice that if you add up all of those percentages, you don't reach 100% This holds true no matter which level the sale is made on. The company will earn a minimum 13% profit, even when paying out commissions to all 5 levels.

Now, let's take a look at what an average day' could bring you if you were to build your downline all the way to the 5th level. We'll pretend that the product the company is selling costs $100.

If you made 1 direct referral ($50), 10 sales on the 2nd level (10x$20=$200), 5 sales on the 3rd level (5x$10=$50), 5 sales on the 4th level (5x$5=$25) and 3 sales on the 5th level (3x$2=$6)......then you get:

$50+$200+50+25+6= $331 total commissions

Not bad for a day's work, right? The size and depth of your downline has a cumulative effect on your income, and this is why MLM programs can be so profitable when you understand how to work them.

The key word here is how.

It is not simply a matter of referring as many people as possible. One of THE single, biggest mistakes made by MLM-newbies is recruiting un-targeted and unmotivated downline members.

In order to succeed, you must learn how to:

1. Target the right market for the product

2. Target the right opportunity-seekers for the business opportunity, and get them into your downline

3. Train and motivate your downline to do these same two things as well as you do!

That's how you get the big pay days in MLM. In future articles, you're going to discover how to accomplish all of this with less effort than you ever imagined.
