Not coffee. A real conversation about a case they’re stuck on, even if you’re not getting paid for it. Practitioners report this produces more high-quality referrals than any other single tactic.
Pricing and engagement structure
Many business valuation professionals undercharge by failing to bill for the work that happens between formal engagements — the quick clarification call, the follow-up email exchange, the unplanned third-party document chase.
