How to Make Money as a Service Business Using 

Referrals are how every business gets its foot off the ground but how do you keep them coming?

You might be doing great work for your customers, but when the time comes for them to refer your company to a friend, they don't follow through. It's not because they don't like you. It's because there's nothing in it for them.

It's not enough these days to just ask for something. You need to give people a reason — make it worth their while, make them feel like they're earning something they actually deserve.

ReferToday is a referral platform built specifically for service based businesses  (plumbers, roofers, hair salons, landscapers, pressure washers, general contractors, and more) giving you a simple way to offer a commission to anyone willing to send business your way.

You might already have some version of a referral program, but running one on your own takes marketing, money, and time you don't have. With ReferToday, the platform is completely free, all you do is list your business and set your commission.

So here's exactly how your business can start generating more referrals with 

 - When you list your business on ReferToday, you choose the commission you're willing to pay per closed job. For example, if you offer 10% and a referral converts into a $1,000 job, you pay the referrer $100, and we don't touch a penny of your $900. No wasted ad spend. No paying for clicks that go nowhere.

 - Once you've created your listing and chosen a commission, get ahead of the game by letting your current customers know you're offering a commission per job. Since they've already experienced your work firsthand, they're far more likely to refer you when there's something in it for them.

 - Referrers share your business by sending out their own affiliate link, which takes people directly to your listing: your photos, description, services, and reviews. If your pictures aren't impressive, your description isn't clear, or you're not showcasing testimonials, people who land on that page are less likely to submit their info. Take five minutes to optimize it. It makes a real difference.

4. Contact Customers Right When You Finish the Job

 - The moment a customer is most likely to refer your business is right after you've done great work for them. As soon as the job is done and they've paid, let them know about your ReferToday listing so they can start earning by referring you to the people they know.

5. Stay on Top of Your ReferToday Dashboard

 - Check your dashboard regularly and keep your contacts updated so you never lose track of who's referring you or the customers coming in. If someone is actively referring your business, making sure they're getting proper updates and fast payouts is what keeps them motivated to keep sending work your way.

If your business has a high job value and generates repeat customers, the math on referral based growth works strongly in your favor.
