getting started:train your team + set goals.

Word of mouth is a great tool. Why not start in-house?

Make sure that ALL of your employees know about the program and more importantly have bought into it.

Set goals for your sales team on how many referrals they should receive.

getting started:incentives.

What’s in it for me? Offer a reward to your home buyers for referring a contact. Cash giftsGift cardsDiscounts on a product or service

If you can’t offer cash incentives because of certain state laws—or you just don’t feel comfortable with it— there is always the option of donating to a charity you support in honor of the referrer, or better yet their favorite charity.
