Botched Referral? What to Do a Referral Backfires on You

Botched referral. What do you do when a referral backfires on you? As a maid, you give a recommendation to another house cleaner if you can't do the cleaning yourself. And a botched referral is not your fault. You may have a bitter, angry customer or just a miserable client that doesn't get along with the new maid service. Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru defines a botched referral as a customer who loves misery and is yelling and screaming. "Don't take it personal, don't explain, just walk away." Today's Ask a House Cleaner sponsors are Savvy Cleaner Training. (Pro cleaning tips and turnover cleaning tips.) HouseCleaning360 (a referral database where your hateful customer can find a new maid.) My Cleaning Connection (pro cleaning tips and cleaning videos.) And Savvy Perks (a way to reward your loyal customers.) *** COMPLETE SHOW NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE *** https://askahousecleaner.com *** MORE VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC *** BNI Educational Moment - How to Handle a Bad Referral - https://youtu.be/AYbwkEEZUTc Bad Job Referral - https://youtu.be/Xx5PkyMnyiI Jay Abraham and Leveraging Referrals in a professional practice - https://youtu.be/JiYJfQmD6wQ The Dark Side of Referrals in the House Cleaning Business - https://youtu.be/RjIeoTctmJ0 Generating Worthy Referrals - https://youtu.be/nFaPa_Yzx9Q The Secret of Getting All the Referrals You Could Ever Hope For | Jeffrey Gitomer | Sales Tools - https://youtu.be/H51j54Z8yl8   *** RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE *** Giftology: The Art and Science of Using Gifts to Cut Through the Noise, Increase Referrals, and Strengthen Client Retention - https://amzn.to/2wQXFP9 Endless Referrals - https://amzn.to/2oSKoS1 The Referral Engine: Teaching Your Business to Market Itself - https://amzn.to/2wPXZ0F The Referral of a Lifetime: Never Make a Cold Call Again! - https://amzn.to/2NpfIWi 7L: The Seven Levels of Communication: Go from Relationships to Referrals - https://amzn.to/2M3yhut We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. *** OTHER WAYS TO ENJOY THIS SHOW *** ITUNES - http://apple.co/2xhxnoj STITCHER - http://bit.ly/2fcm5JM SOUNDCLOUD - http://bit.ly/2xpRgLH GOOGLE PLAY - http://bit.ly/2fdkQd7 YOUTUBE - https://goo.gl/UCs92v *** GOT A QUESTION FOR A SHOW? *** Email it to Angela[at]AskaHouseCleaner.com Voice Mail: Click on the blue button at https://askahousecleaner.com *** HOUSE CLEANING TIPS VAULT *** (DELIVERED VIA EMAIL) - https://savvycleaner.com/tips *** FREE EBOOK – HOW TO START YOUR OWN HOUSE CLEANING COMPANY *** http://amzn.to/2xUAF3Z *** PROFESSIONAL HOUSE CLEANERS PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP *** https://www.facebook.com/groups/ProfessionalHouseCleaners/ *** VRBO AIRBNB CLEANING FACEBOOK GROUP *** https://www.facebook.com/groups/VRBO.Airbnb.Cleaning/ *** LOOKING FOR WAY TO GET MORE CLEANING LEADS *** https://www.facebook.com/groups/HouseCleaning360/ *** FOLLOW ANGELA BROWN ON SOCIAL MEDIA *** https://Facebook.com/SavvyCleaner https://Twitter.com/SavvyCleaner https://Instagram.com/SavvyCleaner https://Pinterest.com/SavvyCleaner https://Linkedin.com/in/SavvyCleaner *** WHAT IS ASK A HOUSE CLEANER? *** Ask a House Cleaner is a daily show where you get to ask your house cleaning questions and we provide answers.
