Let me share a secret with you that many successful online solopreneurs already know - you have to manage your business before you can market your business, and if you've been with me for a while you've no doubt heard me say this many times!

How often do you get referrals? Probably not often enough. But with a little marketing planning, you can dramatically increase your referral business. The result is bigger sales for your small business. The most important thing is to keep in touch with people on a regular, consistent basis.

Sounds simple, doesn't it? Most small business owners know they need to do these things. But few have any type of marketing system for keeping in touch with the right people. Even fewer small business owners know the right way to ask for referrals.
