Frequently Asked Questions

Referral Programs & ReferralGeneration.com

What is a referral program?

A referral program is a structured system that rewards existing customers, partners, or affiliates for introducing new customers to your business. Well-run referral programs drive 20–40% of new revenue for service businesses because referred customers close faster, spend more, and stay longer.

How do I set up a referral program?

Use the seven-step framework in our ultimate guide: pick an incentive that matches your buyer, define what counts as a qualified referral, build the ask into your existing workflow, distribute unique short links, track attribution in your CRM, pay within 7 days of qualification, and close the loop with a personal thank-you.

How do I create a referral program for my business?

Write the offer in one sentence, pick where the ask lives (post-service SMS, invoice, portal, thank-you page), set up unique-link attribution in your CRM, and commit to sending the ask on every qualifying customer for 90 days. Automation matters more than incentive size.

What is the difference between a referral program and an affiliate program?

Referral programs reward existing customers for introducing new customers. Affiliate programs reward non-customers (creators, publishers, agencies) for driving new customers via a public trackable link. Both can run in parallel — referrals prove the offer, affiliates scale it.

How much does ReferralGeneration.com cost?

Running the AI Marketing Score is free with no signup. Paid engagements are month-to-month and depend on your industry, goals, and scope — book a free consultation for a custom quote.
