Pick your reward, answer a few questions, and walk away with a ready-to-use offer, word-for-word ask scripts, and a simple tracker. The customers who already love you are your cheapest growth — make it easy for them to send friends your way.
Most owners "have referrals" the same way they "have a marketing plan" — it happens by accident, when it happens at all. A real referral program does three boring things well: it gives people a reason to refer, a moment you actually ask, and a way to track who sent whom so nobody gets forgotten.
This builder writes all three for you. Fill it in, copy the scripts, print the tracker, and start asking this week. No software to buy, nothing to install.
Answer a few questions on the left. Your offer, scripts, and tracker build themselves on the right — and update live as you type.
| Referrer | Friend | Date | Status | Reward sent? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
A referral program is only as good as the moment you run it. Three things that separate the ones that work from the ones that fizzle.
The best time to ask is right after something goes well — a finished job, a five-star comment, a repeat order. That's when the goodwill is highest and the ask feels natural, not pushy.
A one-sided reward asks your customer to "sell" for a coupon. A two-sided reward lets them give a friend something good — that's a gift, not a pitch, and people share gifts far more often.
Track who referred whom and send the thank-you fast. Nothing kills a referral habit quicker than a customer who sent three friends and never heard a word back.
