The challenge
Leaving a large firm meant leaving its brand and lead flow behind. He needed new sources of introductions quickly.
The approach
We mapped the professionals his ideal clients already relied on, then built a simple outreach and value exchange plan for each one.
The results
Fifteen active referral partners and twice the qualified leads within six months.
“Referral partners now know exactly when to send people my way.”
