Ah, referrals.
I can't think of a more powerful selling tool.
It's
a fact: People would rather do business with people they know--or
know of--than with strangers. When you're introduced to a prospect
through a personal recommendation, that prospect has a vastly higher
comfort level than, say, a buyer you find through cold calling. After
all, few things are more reassuring than a positive endorsement from
someone you know and trust. More

A few years ago, designer Michael Bondanza bought a laser welder
for his New York City jewelry workshop. On several levels, the
acquisition made sense. It was high-tech. It was a new tool
sweeping through the industry. And, perhaps most important,
his workers really wanted it. More
