How do you ask for referrals without sounding desperate for work?

[Btaliat]

Most of the times, freelancers may need to add to their clients. With this they may need referral. When this happens, they can ask their clients for more referrals. But they don't need to sound too desperate. They can ask in such a way that the clients will even be eager to give them the referral. For instance, after completing tasks for them, make sure they are happy and then ask them if they can refer their friends to you.
