# Facebook Referrals — "Referrals on Steroids"

From Tom Panos / Real Estate Gym.

## When to Use
- At the time of offer acceptance
- After successful completion
- When a vendor expresses delight with your service

## Script
> "Mr & Mrs [Vendor], were you happy with everything?"
>
> [If Yes]
>
> "The way we get business is by having other vendors talk about us in a positive light. We're big on social media — is it OK if you gave me a one-sentence short testimonial on what you thought of me and my service?"
>
> [If Yes]
>
> "Can I ask you to also tag me when you post?"

## Why This Is So Effective
- When the vendor publicly raves about your services, this is often more effective than personal advertising
- The vendor's friends and your friends/associates will all see the recommendation
- It's not what you say to the market — it's what the market says to the market about you

## UK Adaptation
- Works on Facebook, Instagram, Google Reviews
- Video testimonials are even more powerful
- Ask: "Would you mind recording a quick 30-second video about your experience?"
- Share on all platforms with vendor permission
