Thanks Again,

You make some great points!  I appreciate your comments and yes its amazing how many people fail to ask for referrals - I got no problem asking for referrals as long as the people know who I am and what I can accomplish.  If they don&#039;t know me from Adam then its a waste of time!</description>

		<description>As an employee of a company that generates a lot of new business from referrals, I find the questions you provide in this post really good ones for businesses to consider while doing business day to day.  It all boils down to good, honest customer service.  Our referrals would not be near what they are without our customer support reps who always listen to the needs of the customer and exceed the customer expectations.

Companies also must not be afraid to ask for referrals. (If they are, they must be doing something wrong.)  I wrote a recent post with six tips to help businesses track their referrals with a database that your readers may find of interest.

Hey bro - thanks for the comment and I agree 100% they need some link love but the only problem these guys don’t have a URL to this business specifically - they do have a URL listed that goes here - http://www.chdrentals.com/ BUT I did give their Google Local listing some link love here!!!!

This could also be a great lesson to make sure you have a website for your business NO MATTER WHAT!! LOL</description>
