Ask happy customers for referrals, one at a time

Ask suitable existing customers for one specific introduction.

  • Gmail

The problem

Your happiest customers know your next customers. Asking them well, at the right time, is the step that always slips.

How your agent runs it

  1. Read your contacts and CRM and your connected Gmail history for customers with real evidence of a positive outcome.
  2. Exclude unresolved complaints, suppressed contacts and anyone already asked recently.
  3. Email the agreed number of eligible customers one personal request for a specific introduction to someone who fits: what you describe.
  4. Never invent praise, offer unapproved rewards or contact referred people without a suitable introduction.
  5. Record sent requests; count referrals only after a real introduction arrives.
