HOW TO SET UP A CONNECTION FROM A REFERRAL:

In an ideal world the connector/ referral partner (your dad) does a 3 way text message.

Something like 

" Prospect name meet Elizabeth"
" Elizabeth meet Prospect name"

Thought you might like to connect.


Then you'd reply in the text

Hi (name)

Great to connect with you. Happy to chat. 

I have 2 pm and 7 pm today. Do either of those work? Or I actually have a few minutes now to talk if that works.   

Then wait for their reply.

And voila a perfect Call 1 is booked. ✅💯

Now of course, most people are not used to referring to us - but once we have a  calendar link those are great. But
even better is to send a message. AND this strategy DID work to book a call - so that is good. 💯🙌

SO in an ideal world:

THE WAY TO REACH OUT TO A POSSIBLE REFERRED LEAD:

Send a TEXT message
and BOOK the call 1. (rather than phone out of the blue)


Hi Prospect name.

Elizabeth here. Referral person said we should chat.

Happy to do a quick connect. I have 2 pm and 7 pm today. Do either of those work?

So in your particular instance
the question is did SHE want the call?? We'll never really know or whether she was just being nice.

So I like THEM to come to us. But you immediately reach out and light and easy see if she has a moment now.
