Guid·ing Ques·tion
noun
Definition: The inverse of an open-ended question; one that leads to a specific answer
Referralytics Guiding Questions help your business contacts pinpoint exactly who in their network could be a good referral for you, thus making the process a lot simpler and direct
Open-ended questions and old fashioned methodology:
If you know anyone who would like the same services you are receiving, feel free to give them my card!
We have seen a lot of investors worries about the markets; can you think of anyone who would like a second opinion?
Or: Thanks for sending us a referral, we look forward to meeting him! (And then it ends up being a prospect below your firm's minimum)
