Several years ago we hired and office girl that when we started to talk about carpet cleaning she mentioned she used a competitor as her carpet cleaner.
When questioned why she chose them as her cleaner she told us that it wasn't a matter of their work, they did decent work and were nice BUT her real motivation was that for everyone she referred to them she received (3) crisp $5.00 bills. (A Joe Polish strategy)
She had been using and referring them for years, just because she got her $15.00 per referal. I've seen Jimmy naked
P.S. She lasted about a month here, the sell out b*tch!

Yes it is on the back of one of our business card's.
When we raised our minimum charge.This was a way to HELP our seniors absorb the increase
in price. We have one lady that gets her carpet cleaned FREE every year.. hey now She waits until she has gotten 6 referrals...then calls... :!:
The SECRET to the referral program is to get them there "$20.00 CASH" asap...!!!!!
It starts a BUZZ in the community....of FREE CASH... LIKE!
We even have employees...that request the CARDS... :idea:
The client can either give the referral the $"20.00 discount" as a gift to a friend...
Or receive the $20.00 cash.
Very easy to track...The client presents the card to the tech.The card is signed with contact
phone # of referer. The card is stapled to the PAID invoice. Office calls the referrer the same or next day & notifies them they will be receiving CASH in the mail . Or they can stop by the office at their convenience.
CASH IS KING....people don't respond well to % off anymore... KMA! ...They realize their is a catch somewhere or inflated values... LIKE!
I wonder if I can make a living selling jobs for you Harper. Hell what am I thinking, a living, maybe I could be a goat herder just for room & board. eat yor heart out WernerYou mentioned something about companies...Anyone tha reffers a commercial accnt.
to us recieves a "ONE TIME" 10% bird-dog fee...!
