Tex gets his referrals cuz his number is scratched in the bathroom wall at the local truck stop. Not the best method but it pays the bills
A worthwhile topic Robert. I always ask. No spreadsheets for me cause I'm not that big that I need more paperwork to confirm what I'm usually hearing first hand.
If I felt I had too much business, I would raise prices or focus on more profitable lines of business. Targeting the lead generation of more profitable lines makes sense.
Understanding where the business comes from also helps you tailor advertising or even referrals to the type of business you want the most. If I'm getting junk referrals, I'll figure a way to let the referring customer know I don't do that stuff anymore etc and if I had a couple of referral sources that generate particularly profitable business, I would want to know and do more to encourage..
Google/MS ads my only advertising. Can tailor specifically to a particular clientele or product line. Definitely want to know how that's working; Google analytics helps, but no substitute for talking to customers.

Another thing to remember, do not ask a potential customer where they are from. Because that would be ending your sentence with a preposition.

I appreciate all who have taken the time to reply.
Several have mentioned that their new client found them on Google.
A hint of things to come. I am researching and writing a free do-it-yourself checklist for your Google My Business listing.
We shall see how it goes. If you are interested in joining me in this project, please contact me.

As I see it, every sign shop has its own DNA. Each has a distinctive personality.
By asking, "How did you find us?" you give yourself a chance to learn what attracted this wonderful new client to your shop. Then you can take what you learn and build on it.
If you are interested in this tactic, please contact me. You will enjoy a free sample of a productive conversation.

And when you hear an echo or flushing, you don't have to ask "How'd you hear about us"
