Episode: Ep #384 – It’s Live: The Referable Client Experience Book

Host: Stacey Brown Randall
Date: October 21, 2025

Overview

In this celebratory episode, Stacey Brown Randall announces the long-awaited release of her second book, The Referable Client Experience. Speaking directly to business owners in the professional services and creative industries, Stacey discusses who the book is for, why she structured it a certain way, and shares meaningful personal and professional dedications. The episode is a blend of behind-the-scenes insights into writing the book, practical advice about referrals, and an exploration of special launch bonuses and opportunities for listeners.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Who the Book Is For

• Stacey reaffirms her focus on business owners in professional services and creative industries—lawyers, real estate agents, financial advisors, consultants, bookkeepers, interior designers, and more (03:25).
• She emphasizes that her audience typically works with clients making significant investments, often requiring a foundation of trust that supports a referable relationship.
• Quote at [05:10]:

  “So this book is meant for the same group of humans that I do all of my work for.”

2. Book Dedications: Personal & Professional

• Stacey shares the story behind dedicating her first book to her father, who passed away soon after its release.
  • Memorable moment: Her mother discovering the new book’s dedication in a candid, emotional video (06:15).
• She reads the professional dedication aloud:

  “To those brave enough to jump into business ownership. You make the world a better place. Let your light shine bright.” [07:25]

3. Why the Book Is Structured the Way It Is

• The book is divided into three parts—first two focus on building a referable client experience; the third on generating referrals (09:40).
• Stacey warns against skipping ahead:

  “There is really no language tip or tactic or anything I can teach you...that will actually help you overcome a choppy or poor client experience. Right? You have to implement first the referable client experience, and then you can bridge the gap to referrals.” [10:15]

• Business owners often mistakenly believe great work alone should earn referrals, but there are often subtle gaps in the client experience that hinder referrals (12:30).

4. The Importance of Tracking & Patience

• Emphasizes the necessity of tracking results and being patient while implementing her methodology:

  “You won't know if anything that you're learning from me is working if you're not tracking.” [14:00]

• Tracking is discussed in the conclusion of the book.

5. Workbook & Free Resources

• A digital workbook companion to the book will launch in a few weeks, designed to guide readers through exercises (16:00).
  • Special mention of a powerful exercise in Chapter 4 (Stacey’s “absolute favorite”).
• Readers will have access to a secret link inside the book for additional free resources (18:00).
• The book is intentionally short (~140 pages) for business owners’ convenience:

  “This is not like, you know, a Simon Sinek, Daniel Pink, 400 page book... This is 150 pages, 160 pages... I like writing shorter books because I've learned with business owners this is why you guys actually read them.” [19:40]

6. How to Join the Celebration: Bonuses & Masterclass

     • Praise from a podcast interviewer:

       “Your book is in the top 1% of all the books that I've read.” [24:40]
