Customer Referrals
Choose the right moment, request, handoff, and tracking method for customer introductions.
1 published Field Note
Build a referral process that makes a good introduction easy without turning trust into a mass campaign.
A referral system helps a satisfied customer make a useful introduction at a moment when the value of the work is still clear. It should use a respectful request, provide a simple way to connect people, preserve consent, and distinguish a personal introduction from a public review or cold lead list.
Referrals happen informally, so strong customer relationships produce inconsistent introductions and the team cannot see which requests, moments, or handoffs are working.
Three signals worth inspecting
- 01Referral requests depend on memory
- 02Introductions arrive without context
- 03Reviews and referrals are treated as the same action
