As a salesperson for Monteral Satellites, you sell television satellite dishes for homes, apartments, and businesses. After installing a satellite in Jeff Sager's home, you ask him for a referral. Jeff sugests you contact Tom Butler, his brother-in-law.

Mr. Butlerer is a well-known architect who designs and constructs unique residential homes. Your objective is to sell Mr. Butler a satellite for his office and home in hopes that he will install them in the homes he builds. Certainly, he is a center of influence, and a good word from him to his customers could result in numerous sales. Thus, another objective is to obtain referrals from Mr. Bulter.

1. After eight attempts, you now have Mr. Butler on the telephone. What would you say in order to get an appointment and set the stage for getting referrals?
2. You get the appointment and are now in Mr. Butler's office trying to get him to buy a satellite for his home and office. Sometime during the presentation you are going to ask for a referral. What would you say?
3. Mr. Butler buys a satellite for his home but not his office. You install the satellite yourself and then spend 15 minutes showing Mr. and Mrs. Butler and their two teenagers how to use it. Before you leave, how would you ask for a referral?
4. Three months after the isntallation you are talking to Mr. Butler. How would you ask for a referral.
