There’s something wonderful about wrapping up a longer term project, knowing you did your best, knowing the client is over the moon with your work, and feeling confident that they will recommend you to other people in their circle. That said, sometimes your client needs a gentle nudge to put 2 and 2 together.
*cough*cough*
*awkward silence*
Client: Oh! You’d like a referral?
You: Wow, thanks so much!
Also you: 🙄
Remember don’t pressure them. Only send this pre-written script if it feels like a good fit.
In gratitude,
Jonathan
