Chen Sun | | It took me sometime to remember one of the better referral technique I had heard. This came from an advertising specialist.
He suggested using a customer satisfaction survey form. These, as you know, have all sorts of questions pertaining to customer satisfaction, but it also manages to get the customer to slow down a bit, reflect, and write down something. The questionaire's strategy was to subtly lead to the question "can you think of any companies you know who might also similarly benefit (or has similar problems)".
I can't remember all the details; perhaps another ryze member can fill in here?
