What are you thankful for in your business? Women in Business Online Community Responses
Hello & welcome back to Sales & Business Growth for BUSY Women. I am your host, Lindsay Fletcher.  I’m a wife, mom of 4, dog mom, business owner x2, former top performing sales rep, in corporate america, and I’m here to help you sell more, get time back in your day, and grow your business.  On this podcast we talk about sales, marketing, business growth, and time management so that your business doesn’t take over your life! 
 
Today is the Tuesday just before Thanksgiving and we are all preparing for get togethers and the madness of the holiday season to officially start!  I’m so thankful that you are here and would love some feedback on this show, and I know you might need a little bit of motivation to fill out a survey for me, so when you fill out the survey linked in the show notes, you will be entered to win a $50 Amazon gift card. The survey will be open until December 5th, and then you’ll have to come back to listen to the episode on Dec. 6th to see if you win.  FILL OUT THE SURVEY HERE --> LINK TO THE SURVEY
 
Today’s episode is going to be a little bit different than what we usually do because I want to encourage some listeners who might be in the beginning stages of their business or maybe are in a hard season of business.  We are doing a Thanksgiving “what are you thankful for” episode.  I asked the women in my online community what they are most thankful for in their business and of course all of them said their customers and clients who allow them to stay in business, but beyond that, they had some pretty awesome responses, so I thought I’d read them to you on this episode because if you are new to business, or maybe it’s not where you want or need it to be just yet, or maybe you are in a hard season, these ladies brought up some amazing benefits of owning business these might give you some fuel to keep going!
 
I'm praying for you and your business!
My best,
Lindsay

Today we are talking about one thing that people miss when they are trying to build a pipeline of customers or clients and grow their business, and that is asking people to tell their family, friends, and neighbors.  I’m not talking about getting reviews, I’m talking about asking your customers to recommend and refer you to people in their circle.
So here’s the easiest way that I’ve found to do this. Ask.I’m serious. You have to ask for more business, so in this episode I walk you through a theoretical customer interaction in both B2B (business to business) and B2C (business to consumer) scenarios and how you can ask for this.
