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.

Lead attribution

Word of mouth is your biggest source of jobs, and also the one you can’t see.

Your happiest customers would gladly send you their friends. But nothing captures it. You can’t ask for it, track it, or reward it, so most of the time it never happens.

Job done.

Invoice settled, work complete.

Customer's thrilled.

Glad to recommend you.

…and then nothing.

A referral that never gets captured.

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.

How it works

From a happy customer to the next job.

Four steps, and your shop runs none of them. It plays through on its own, or click any step.

    Added to contacts

    The moment a customer's invoice is paid, 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.

Why a real platform wins

A managed program can bring in over twice the referrals a do-it-yourself one does.

Here is where the extra referrals come from.

  1. More ways to refer.

    Ambassadors refer by phone, text, email, social, or the web booking hub, instead of just telling a friend and hoping.

  2. Both sides rewarded.

    The ambassador gets a bonus and the friend gets a welcome offer, which lifts participation on both ends.

  3. Tiers they climb.

    Bronze to Diamond turns rewards into a game, which pulls in more referrals.

  4. Lifecycle campaigns.

    We reactivate your whole customer base over time, so referrals keep coming instead of fizzling out.

These are estimates, not guarantees. Your numbers depend on your customers and your rewards.

Hands off for your office

Up to 0% of the work comes off your team’s plate.

The program runs itself, so your office spends its time taking care of customers instead of managing software.

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.

Questions

Plain answers.

The questions trade owners ask us most. If yours isn't here, send it over.

Every ambassador gets their own referral number and link the day their invoice is paid. When a friend uses it to book, we tag the job to that ambassador automatically. You always know who to thank and who to pay.
