Advisors: Actually Grow Your Business Through Better Referrals – with Bill Cates
Firm Transitions Podcast With Corey Walen 122 views October 3, 2025 3:12 pm
On this episode of Firm Transitions, I sit down with Bill Cates, the president of Referral Coach International and a true expert in helping financial advisors grow their practices through high-quality referrals. We dive deep into Bill’s proven strategies for multiplying your best clients, building lasting engagement, and creating a steady flow of introductions that actually convert.
Bill shares insights from his decades of experience, including highlights from his books like “Get More Referrals Now,” “Radical Relevance,” and his latest, “The Hidden Heist.” We talk about the mindset shifts every advisor needs, the difference between referrals and introductions, and practical steps you can start using right away to grow your business.
If you’re looking to unlock exponential growth, improve your client relationships, and finally feel confident about asking for referrals, this conversation is packed with actionable advice you won’t want to miss. Plus, Bill gives us a sneak peek into his new book and shares resources you can use to take your practice to the next level.
I hope this is helpful. If you’re an elite advisor that could use the help of a non-biased transition consultant please reach out, I’d be happy to talk.
