I just hit a really cool milestone!!! My first referral.
So my wife and I are driving through the middle of Illinois on our way to Indianapolis. My phone is ringing and it's from a local # back in St. Louis. I don't know the number but figure what the heck why not answer it.
"Hello this is __________. A friend of mine told me that you guys buy houses and are good at what you do. Well actually it was a friend of my nephews who raved about you guys so here we are. Do you think you can help?"
How cool is that? We made an impression lasting enough that it made it through 2 people down the grapevine to an individual 30 miles away on the opposite side of town.
The referral came from a home I have under contract but haven't even closed on yet. If he's this happy with me wait till I give him thousands of dollars he has had tied up for years in a useless property!
Not to mention I know that If I personally recommend someone once I am very likely to recommend them again when the same topic comes up.
