Senior Care Must Do #33

Monday 8:15am: Figure out how to be there, even when you can't be there.

By the time you're reading this, I'll be undergoing knee surgery to fix the damage I did in jiu jitsu class a couple of months ago. Since I can't be on the job today, I figured it would be a good time to discuss how you can stay top of mind in your key referral sources even when you cannot be there in person. Let's face it, there are things that take you out of the field from time to time (aside from vacations or sick/personal time which can take even more) and we don't want to disappear from the minds of our best referral partners. Here are a few ideas of things you can do remotely to stay in touch.

Easy

1. Text or email to check in and let them know you're out of pocket and when you'll be back.

2. Check in via LinkedIN or other social media they use to stay in touch

3. Forward any pertinent industry or agency info to them

Medium

1. Have someone from your office (that they already know) make a visit while you are away

2. Organize an official (or semi official) event for a time outside of work hours when you can be there

Hard

1. Be so valuable to them that they'll keep referring (or refer even more) while you are away

Yes, I've seen cases when reps are so valued and appreciated that referral sources actually go out of their way to refer more often while the rep is out of pocket. It's rare, but it's possible. You'll need to become a true "referral partner" in order to make this happen.....serving their needs with top quality customer service, and being the most professional and responsive person they work with.

Those are a few of my ideas...what do you do to stay top of mind during times you can't be in your referral sources office?
