October 14Sponsored by Utah Microloan Fund
Learn how to turn happy customers and strong relationships into more referrals and steady business growth.
Referrals are easily the most qualified, high-converting, and cost-effective prospects a business can ever earn. Yet for most business owners, "asking for referrals" feels inherently awkward, pushy, and wrong. That instinct is actually correct—traditional referral tactics force people to monetize their personal relationships, crossing boundaries and creating friction for everyone involved.
There is a better, more ethical way! In this session, 30-year marketing veteran and SBDC Regional Director Jess Clifford reveals a field-tested, human-centered framework that turns standard referral requests on their head. You will learn how to build a battle-tested referral approach rooted in consumer psychology that completely eliminates the awkwardness, protects relationships, and turns happy clients into your biggest advocates.
