“Do you yourself believe in what you are doing enough to go and ask them for it?” – Niiamah
Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Susan Heaton-Wright for a live coaching conversation. Susan’s challenge: asking past clients for referrals without feeling pushy.
You’ll walk away with:
- Why leaders who once broke the rules for their ambition still hesitate to ask for what their work has earned
- How a referral ask becomes a gift to your client, not a favor you take
- The “who do you know” question that turns a vague intro into a real handoff
