#130 The Divorce Referral Web: How To Get Referrals From Your Client’s Entire Team
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most divorce mediators rely exclusively on lawyer referrals, missing the entire ecosystem of professionals who already work with their ideal clients.
In this episode, Sylvia Garibaldi introduces the Divorce Industry Referral Web framework — a network-building strategy that connects mediators with therapists, financial advisors, divorce coaches, realtors, and many other professionals who surround divorcing clients.
She also shares practical, non-salesy strategies to become easier to refer, stay top of mind, and create a steady pipeline of high-quality referrals. By building relationships across this web instead of chasing a single referral source, divorce mediators create steady, long-term referral pipelines.
