Referrals generate profits when your partners, contractors, affiliates and employees trust the process and the experience is simple. Our referral incentive platform makes it easy to manage, track and reward partner referrals.

Referral leads convert 30% better than leads from other channels.

Referral program services

Streamlined referral management 

Platform integrations automate the referral process, creating a better participant experience. No more clunky forms or emails that fail to track referral progress. Our integrations with Salesforce and other leading CRMs ensure referral data updates in near-real-time between systems. 

Admin dashboard

Lead management and performance monitoring all in one place, reducing redundancy and improving oversight.

Partner experience

Transparent tracking and meaningful incentives encourage repeat referrals.

Repeat referrals

Repeat referrals increase leads

Partners refer more when they feel valued. Investing in a program that offers relevance, reminders and a motivational experience improves program personalization through: 

  • Meaningful earning mechanics 
  • Segmented messaging 
  • Referral progress tracking 
  • Thousands of rewards that resonate
Program optimization

Program optimization for better results

In-house reporting and analytics experts review data and extract insights to offer visibility into metrics like program adoption, referral activity and award issuance. During biannual business reviews, we share program results and ensure strategy and tactics intentionally align with your business tactics. We help get more out of your budget through incentives like: 

  • Gameplays 
  • Referral goals 
  • Payout levels (instead of defaulting to 1:1 referral payment) 
Targeted communications

Targeted communications boost engagement

Informative and fun communications keep participants actively engaged and exhibiting desired behaviors. We’ll work with your internal teams to deliver a program with big engagement.  

  • Program identity and brand (logo, colors, messaging) 
  • Program overview communications 
  • Reminders and nudges
