“How to Build an Effective Word of Mouth Strategy”
Tuesday, October 27 at 5 pm EST
In a perfect world, all your existing clients tell everyone they know about you, and those people fill your sales pipeline, so you never had to do any marketing ever again. In the real world, though, that isn’t the case. If you are starting your business, it will be a while before you see referrals from clients.
So, what do you to stimulate referrals? You create a WOMM (Word of Mouth Marketing) strategy and make it an integral part of your overall marketing strategy.
In this session, we’ll talk about targeted efforts and naturally occurring instances where your clients share their experience with you to their network, so you create a steady stream of new customers derived from word of mouth.
