Post: how do you get business referrals?

Posted by Alex on 6/08/07

hey everyone,

Firstly, thanks to everyone who posts on this site - tons of
great info here, very helpful!

Secondly, I just quit a job with my uncle's bankruptcy
practice and am looking to strike out on my own, and start
my own practice.

I am trying to build up a client base - how do those of you
with your own businesses get business referrals? How did you
get started? Do you use word of mouth or websites or what?
Do you use forums like this one? On another board someone
mentioned businessnetworkingme.com and some other referral
sites. Anyone know anything about it, or if these referral
sites actually work?

Thus far I have joined 1 traffic exchange marketing program,
1 email marketing program, sent letters to all my previous
clients, sent letters to all my associates, and still plan
on joining businessnetworkingme.com, and doing some type of
search engine advertising. What have you
guys done to promote yourselves?

thanks

Alex
