Recently I published a blog about educating your referral partners.
Another critical component of building a referral system is knowing who your best potential referral partners are.
Those people make up your Referral Partner Ecosystem.
The important question to answer this is, “who else serves my ideal target client that I do not compete with?”
Those are companies with whom you should try to build a referral relationship where you can partner together to grow each other’s businesses.
