I always thought asking for referrals was too pushy until last month

My client list was stuck at the same 12 people for almost a year. A friend told me to just add a simple line to my project wrap-up email: 'If you know someone else who might need this, could you forward this to them?' I sent it to three clients last Tuesday. Two of them actually did it, and I got a call from a new client the very next day. Has anyone else found a low-pressure way to ask that actually works?

Did you word it exactly like that or did you tweak it for each client? I mean, I've tried similar stuff but it always feels a bit awkward coming from me. Maybe it's just how I phrase it.

Tweaked it for each client"? You sent the exact same thing to everyone? That's wild.
