Referrals that don’t feel awkward: Turn happy clients into reviews and introductions with 5 quick questions. Community touchpoints: Pharmacies, dentists, audiologists, and private practices that are actually referral-rich. Activity > anxiety: Simple actions for slow days that still move the needle. Your end game: Define the “thing below the thing” so you stay focused when AEP gets loud.
