In today’s episode, host John Laurito talks with his good friend, Podcast Host, Author, Coach, Speaker, and Referral Expert, Bill Cates about the keys to building a successful referral-based business. Bill also shares how he got started on his business, how he stayed relevant through decades in his passion, and how people can meet the right connections to make the right referrals.
Bill Cates is a high-energy speaker who motivates by sharing proven ideas and strategies that work. Bill has helped over 20,000 small business owners, and salespeople build thriving referral-based businesses – where the phone is ringing with referred customers/clients. And Bill has helped large companies increase sales and cut hundreds of thousands of dollars in marketing expenses at the same time!
