But many business owners are uncomfortable about asking for a variety Burberry Woven Check Scarf reasons. Luckily, you don’t need to. Here are five ways you can increase the amount of referrals you get without asking.
Be low-risk. When someone refers a business contact to you, she puts her own reputation on the line. If you make a bad impression, that impression could carry over to the person who referred you. So if you’re not getting referrals, take a look at your own business: do you look and act highly professional at all times? In addition, do you offer money back guarantees or free consultations? These allow referrals to get an “out” if they’re not a hundred percent sure you’re right for them-and lessens the risk that they’ll judge the referrer harshly.
Offer a referral program. You can generate more referrals by having a rewards system in place for those who generate business for you. Try offering cash for referrals-offer 10% of the sale to the person who referred new business to you, or offer a discount or coupon for your services. If they know they’ll get something out of it, you’re sure to get people to send you business.

Another thing you can do to channel the safari look is to bring in animal print. Leopard print is especially sexy and appropriate for the safari style.
In short, to revamp your look, safari style, you need the following items:
1. A safari jacket you can throw over any outfit to give it that safari look.
2. A shirt dress - very safari style.
3. Khaki tops and pants.
4. Leopard print tops, dresses or bikinis to up the sex quotient.
That would take you effortlessly through summer 2008.
