Make word of mouth a system
Most referrals happen by accident. A customer happens to mention you; a neighbour happens to ask. Referral and partner outreach turns those accidents into a steady, measurable channel.
What is in it
- Referral asks after every job. Sent with the review request, when goodwill is highest, with a simple link to share.
- Partner mapping. The non-competing businesses in your area that already serve your customers.
- Partner outreach. Introductions written in your voice and approved by you, sent within Canadian anti-spam rules, with follow-ups to set up a simple two-way referral arrangement.
- Tracking. Every customer and partner gets a source tag, so you know who sends you work and can thank them.
Where it fits
Referral and Partner Outreach is a Signal module, priced inside the Signal tier. It builds on Email and Text Campaigns and the review requests already running in Beacon. See pricing.
Questions
When do customers get asked?
Right after a job is finished and they are happiest, usually alongside the review request. One short message with an easy way to pass your name on.
What are partners?
Businesses that serve the same customers without competing with you: a realtor and a painter, a physio and a personal trainer, a landscaper and a fence company. We find them, introduce you and keep the referrals tracked.
Do I have to offer a reward?
No. Some businesses offer a thank-you credit; many do not. We will suggest what fits your market and your margins.
How are referrals tracked?
Each referral link and partner gets its own source tag, so introductions land in the lead counter and you can see which customers and partners send you work.
