If you’ve ever relied on word of mouth but felt like it’s hit-and-miss, this session will change how you think about referrals. Justin Herald breaks down a simple, practical way to turn everyday conversations into consistent, trackable leads—without chasing people or spending money on ads.

You’ll see how to tap into a much bigger market than just your buyers, and how to make it ridiculously easy for people to refer you.

What You’ll Learn:

Why your best referrals often come from people who will never buy from you

The real reason most businesses don’t get consistent referrals

How to turn word of mouth into a structured, repeatable system

Why simplicity is the key to getting more referrals

How to track referrals and follow-ups without chasing

Different ways to reward referrals (and when to do it)

Why It Matters:

Most business owners treat referrals as something that “just happens.” The reality is, without a system, you’re leaving money on the table. When you make referrals easy, visible, and consistent, you create a steady flow of warm leads who already trust you. That means less time chasing, less reliance on ads, and more predictable growth.
