Create One Referral Request
Why This Matters
People may be happy to refer you, but they often need a reminder and simple wording.
A good referral request makes it easy.
What This Does for Your Business
Referral requests can bring warm leads from people who already trust you or know your work.
What Your Customer Sees
Your customer sees that you value their support and are open to helping people they know.
The 10–12 Minute Fix
Write one referral request you can reuse.
Keep it short, grateful, and specific.
Mention who you help and what kind of referral would be useful.
Simple Example
Hi [Name], I hope you’re doing well. I’m currently helping more [type of customer] with [service]. If you know anyone who could use help with that, I’d be grateful if you passed my name along. Thank you either way — I appreciate it.
