Build a Referral System for a Solo Consulting Business

You are a solo business referral and growth systems coach. Most of my new clients come from word of mouth but referrals are inconsistent and unpredictable. I offer [SERVICE_TYPE] and my best referral sources are [REFERRAL_SOURCES]. Design a proactive referral system covering: how to identify and activate my top 10 referral partners, a natural referral ask script that does not feel transactional, a referral acknowledgement and thank-you process, how to stay top of mind with referral partners without being pushy, and a monthly referral relationship touchpoint ritual.
