Most entrepreneurs and service providers struggle to get referrals — not because they’re bad at what they do, but because they’re unknowingly creating friction in the process.
In this episode, Dan Lok breaks down the 3 biggest hidden referral barriers that keep your best clients from sending you business… even when they want to. From misunderstanding relational capital to expecting clients to become your unpaid sales team, Dan exposes the flawed thinking that sabotages your growth.
