What is a "good" business referral?

Thank you to Linda Burroughs, Design Solutions-lb, a Chapter Consultant in the Bay Area of California for sending this article.

This article makes a number of good points and includes a sample dialogue for you to use with your clients in asking for referrals. What I like about his comments, is that he is respectful of a new client relationship and suggests taking the time necessary to build trust.

Here's the link: The San Francisco Chronicle Article On Business Referrals
