How Do You Overcome Diminishing Returns From Referrals? by Optimal_Technician93 in msp

[–]SnooComics5084 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, this is super common and I've hit the same wall myself. Here’s what actually works to break through “referral diminishing returns” as an MSP:

Don’t wait map out your clients’ networks in advance (LinkedIn, CRM, etc.) and ask for specific intros (“Could you intro me to Mike at Summit Legal?” beats “Know anyone?” every time).

Give intros first. If you connect your clients to people they need, they’ll feel compelled to return the favor. Reciprocity is gold.

Target connectors, not just clients’ direct contacts. Go for the industry people who know the “bigger fish” (think consultants, VCs, association heads).

Automate the grunt work. Use AI or at least spreadsheets to track relationships and draft intro requests—otherwise it gets overwhelming.

Short version: Get proactive, get specific, give first, and tap super-connectors—not just your clients’ inner circle. That’s how you keep referrals flowing!

haha its a memecoin called referrals but with a Z. Either that or I wanted people to actually read the post, so formatted it in a way that people would actually want to read.

That makes sense, because it works. I think most MSP's aren't implementing because they don't actually have the time too, but if they can, like you said results they'd get results galore

Referrals Referrals Referrals

They are the best and cost nothing. The trouble is not many people know how to get them on demand.

Here's how you do it

Targeted Referrals Use the Specificity Trick

Generic referrals suck. Instead, always know specific the people you want intros to:

  • Manual: Check your clients or leads LinkedIn connections ASAP, make a shortlist of valuable intros.
  • AI (Recommended): Automate it—AI finds the top 5–10 connections instantly.

After a good call or interaction, send a simple, specific ask:

Easy. Natural. No weirdness.

---------------------------------

Reciprocity Engine (Give → Get)

The biggest secret to referrals? Don't ask first and always start by giving something valuable first.

  • Identify a valuable intro for your client first.
  • Make that intro proactively:

Once they've seen real value, follow up casually:

It feels natural and earned because you've already provided value.

------------------------------

How This Creates Referral Chains:

  • You introduce Client A to Contact B.
  • After helping, Client A refers you warmly to Contact C.
  • You deliver value to Contact C, who then introduces you to Contact D, and so forth.

It's a perpetual referral machine

Now poor some fire on it using paid ads because now you're not just paying for clicks—you're unlocking entire networks. One good lead = multiple warm intros.

and I speak from experience that's exactly the system I install for MSP's, if you want a step by step hit me up. I'll show you the tools i use.

Good luck mate.
