Mark J. Carter Idea Climbing Sizzle Reels

You’ve got an audience, why aren’t you getting more qualified referrals?

Whether you’re a thought leader or in a leadership role in a B2B organization for thought leaders, one thing is always true: It’s easier to build your business’ client or membership base by converting referrals than with cold calls or automated, impersonal LinkedIn messages and other AI outreach.

Getting referrals can seem overwhelming, how do you ask for them consistently and stay top of mind with your community without being annoying?

Without referrals people throw up the white flag and slip back into slimy cold outreach sales tactics, complicated funnel systems, or relentless social media posting.

What if there were better, more personal ways to get more qualified referrals that are effective AND fun?

“Mark did an excellent job of facilitating a live “Keynote Conversation” format event for us at the Illinois chapter of the National Speakers Association. He had a good command of the room, and had excellent instincts as to audience control vs. prepared topics of his own.

Mark served as a marketing co-chair with us at National Speakers Association of Illinois, and has proven to be very valuable to us as a contributor to our mission”

“Mark is a powerhouse digital marketer, networker, connector, and podcaster.

I had the pleasure of being a guest on Mark’s Idea Climbing Podcast and his level of preparation was amazing. He read my book, prepared topics addressing my material, as well as my background, experience, and focus. During the podcast Mark was high energy, engaging, and funny. Our discussion just flew by!

It’s no wonder why he as so many followers and has had so many great interviews.

Mark’s knack for asking the right questions and therefore getting the right answers is incredible. There are a lot of podcasts out there and it takes a lot of skill to amplify someone’s message while amplifying your own.

And Mark is a master! If you have an opportunity to work with Mark, network with Mark, or be interviewed by Mark, I recommend taking the opportunity as you learn from and work with a true master!”
