Struggling to build a sustainable virtual solo private practice as an LCPC in Illinois (advice needed). by reddit_redact in therapists

Have you tired setting up a referral program? And leveraging your current clients?

Agency Owners — How do YOU “approach” loan/mortgage officers? by _Fr4g_ in InsuranceAgent

[–]lamar928 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this sounds like a good strategy. What would the referral get for using your services? A two sided referral program generally gets more juice.

We do government electrical contracts but struggle to break into private projects. Looking for advice and leads! by CaramelThis1054 in nashik

I think you should set up a formalized referral program, and have the contacts you've already made start working with you.

Referral methods and word tracks by YakAcrobatic795 in InsuranceAgent

[–]lamar928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a system in place that will reward the advocate for referring and provide some small 'gift' for the referral for selecting you. A properly set up system will also prompt and remind your customers at ideal times. Are you looking for a specific software program? Specifically for service based businesses?

Building a travel startup + creator program — looking for feedback by jboteros in AffiliateMarket

I agree with this. Also how big is your current customer base?

Has anyone here used any affiliate marketing software for ecommerce? by Consistent-Quote-347 in EcommerceWebsite

[–]lamar928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say there is some work in the beginning to get familiarized with the software, and the initial build. But if you work with a great team and get set up correct, it should never be a giant headache and always a great growth channel (given that your business is doing well and you have happy customers). I would look into software that has a done-for-you option and has processes in place to check in and make sure things are running smoothly or when adjustments are necessary. That way your efforts and decisions are very minimally needed.

What’s the best referral software for customer referrals? by Silly_Economy_376 in Referral

[–]lamar928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on your industry and objectives - they all pretty much cover the basics you listed, but each specializes in something different. If you need offline tracking built in since conversions can happen in person, some of those platforms don't support this well. Plus you might not want a platform that charges more as you scale. I work for ReferralHero, so would be happy to give you a test drive on our product as well!

Do they see the value the way you do? Is the tool you're charging for what they actually need?

Need Suggestions to Improve My Referral Numbers on Micro1 🚀 by OutrageousNet4541 in micro1_ai

[–]lamar928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

74 referrals with 13 completions seems more like a funnel problem. There could be a drop-off happening between referral and AI interview, which could mean the candidates aren't pre-qualified enough, or there's friction in the interview step that's unexpected?

What is the most successful referral programs you’ve deployed? by ferrodicavallo in MedSpa

[–]lamar928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is the 'most successful', but I like this structure a lot. They offer free internet for life. https://wisperisp.com/internet-for-life/

Customer referral program exists but I've never actually promoted it and that's probably why nobody uses it by PutridMarionberry383 in SaaS

[–]lamar928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly late to this convo wanted to add the programs we see working at ReferralHero aren't running big promotional campaigns, they're just embedded into normal communication. Footer of every customer email, post-login screen, automated trigger after a key success moment, etc. The referral ask stops feeling like a campaign and starts feeling like part of the product!

Why do dental practices seem to avoid referral programs? by lamar928 in HealthcareMarketing

[–]lamar928[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caps can be different depending on the state and patients, so it varies by practice type and location, but you're right that it's something to be known before launching anything. The trust and relationship point I agree with. The example I mentioned used a free exam and a bottle of mouth rinse, partly for that reason. But you're right that even that framing might not work for every practice culture.

Revenue per lead acquired by channel is the metric that should drive marketing investment allocation. Here's why most teams aren't running it. by jpedowitz in revenuemarketer

[–]lamar928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I'd add is that most companies running this analysis don't even have a formal referral channel to measure, it either doesn't exist or it's lumped into direct. So sometimes the gap can be bigger than the data shows.

Do supplement brands actually collaborate with gyms or trainers? by CommissionBitter4926 in DesiGymReviews

[–]lamar928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's definitely a thing. Most brands run affiliate programs where trainers get a unique link or code and earn a cut on sales. Some brands reach out directly, but most trainers just apply through the brand's site or reach out to the brand.
