As part of your conditioning program, do you really want your client to adapt to lower prices?

Instead, INCREASE THE VALUE YOU DELIVER. This could a gift that supports the overall fitness program (eg: JB's Gourmet Nutrition book) or as simple (read: free) as an 'advanced preview' of an ebook/video/project you're working on.

Just make sure your client knows WHY you're giving it - this will condition them to do more of the same (classical conditioning, ala Pavlov's dogs).

In the case of a referral, the quicker you reward the action, the better - even if the referral doesn't become a client.

It's up to you to:

1) define what a quality referral is
2) close the deal
3) re-define quality referrals and/or do a better job selling if you're unable to close referrals.
