Episode 287: David A. Fields on how to ask clients for a recommendation
June 2, 2020
David A. Fields is back on the show, this time to help me answer a question from listener Caroline Taich, who asked for best practices on what steps to take at the end of a long project to:
- hand over deliverables
- ask for recommendations and referrals
- stay in touch with key individuals you’ve developed relationships with over the course of the project
We cover all three topics, and I found particularly helpful David’s approach to asking for a recommendation.
I recommend that every consultant sign up for David’s weekly blog posts: https://www.davidafields.com/blog/
