I am SO jaded by having to ask for referrals when I was in financial services. it was soooo fucking draining and I was terrible at it.

Yes, all the time! My best customers have been the ones who pick up the phone after they've moved to a new place and want my solution. Self-referrals!

Absolutely! We even offer our current clients incentives to refer others. It's a win-win.

Indeed, and most established companies have a whole machine (process) for these. My last company had it built-in where any discounts applied automatically triggered language to be added that the customer would be a reference, unless we then negotiated to take it out. Most customers had no issue with that. One happy customer will help you land a dozen more.
