“How to Scale with Referral Marketing” by Pravin Shekar
This is hands-down one of the most practical and actionable marketing books I’ve read! Pravin Shekar, the renowned Outlier Marketer, has created a masterclass in referral marketing that transforms how we think about business growth.
What makes this book exceptional is that it goes beyond theory. Pravin breaks down referral marketing into implementable strategies that work across industries—from farmstays and hospitality to professional services and B2B businesses. The concept of “enabling referrals” is brilliantly articulated: it’s not enough to deliver great experiences; you must make it easy for customers to talk about you and share those experiences.
Key takeaways:
1. Creating Memorable Experiences
2. The Referral Kit Concept
3. Transferred Trust & The Currency of Love
4. Engineering Referrals
The book is perfect for growth-stage CEOs, entrepreneurs, hospitality business owners, and anyone looking to scale sustainably without burning cash on traditional advertising.
5/5 Stars – Highly Recommended!
