		<description>Hi Andrew

Good point (we use that too, letters I mean, asking to be recommended - and adding an incentive too for the person recommending us).

There&#039;s another &#039;trick-in-the-book&#039; to make sure when you refer this company to some else a contact is being made:

Don&#039;t say: Oh, I know a good company that can install bars (and then only hand over the standard business card)

Make it personal: Do you want me to get you in touch with the company we use?

If you were happy with the service you received, you&#039;re more than happy to make that little extra effort, not?
