Referral software for trades

Turn your customers into your best salespeople.

Referral software for home-service businesses, a lead-generation engine that turns happy customers into new jobs.

Where your growth budget goes

Your ad budget is paying the big guys. Pay your customers instead.

Most home-service shops hand Google and Facebook thousands a month to chase strangers, while the customers who already love them hear nothing.

What most shops do today

You pay Google for a stranger

Local Services Ads and pay-per-click (PPC) eat most of a home-service advertising budget. You’re bidding against five competitors and buying clicks from people who’ve never heard of you. Win the click and you still have to win the trust.

Why referrals win

Referred customers are worth more and cost less.

A referred customer trusts you before you ever pick up the phone. They’re easier to win, worth more per job, and far likelier to stay than anyone an ad sends your way.

    When a customer opts in, we generate a contact card with your business on it, plus a phone number and email that are theirs alone. It saves straight to their phone, ready to share.

The Referral Booster advantage

Reward both sides, and referrals compound.

Many referral programs reward one person and hope for the best. This one pays your customer for sending a friend, and gives that friend a reason to say yes. When both sides win, far more people take part.

  1. The referrer

    Your happy customer

    Earns a real reward

    A reward they actually want turns a one-off mention into a habit of sending friends your way.

  2. The new customer

    Their friend

    Gets a welcome offer

    A friend already vouched for you, so they arrive trusting the work. The welcome offer just makes saying yes easy.

  3. Your business

    You

    Wins a warmer job

    A job that shows up already trusting you. It closes more often than a cold lead, and tends to spend more and stay longer.

29%

more referrals when you reward both sides

Pay the ambassador, welcome the friend. Two rewards keep word of mouth compounding.

And the loop repeats. Every referred customer is also someone who can refer, so each win compounds over time at no extra cost to you.

The compounding move

Give them a status worth climbing.

A flat reward gets you one referral. Tiers get you a habit. Your ambassadors climb from Bronze to Diamond, earning more at every level, so the same happy customer keeps sending friends to reach the next rung. Word of mouth stops being a one-off and starts to compound.

You vs. the shop down the street

Spend less, or grow more. Your call.

Stay the same size, and spend less to do it.

Add referrals and a growing share of your jobs start arriving already trusting you. Ease off the ad pedal and your cost to win a customer bends down, while the shop on ads alone keeps paying more every year.
