How the math works

No tricks, no fine print. Here's exactly what happens for every new customer who comes in through a referral.

You set the reward

Choose what you'll thank a customer with when they send new business your way. $5, $20, $100 — whatever fits your margins and feels genuine.

You only pay when it works

No charges for clicks, impressions, or hopeful leads. Nothing comes out of your pocket until the referred customer actually pays you.

Flat $5 platform fee

That's our cut — $5 per completed referral. No subscription, no percentage of your revenue, no setup cost. The same flat fee for every business.

The whole formula

$5 platform fee + your reward = your cost per new customer

Any discount you give the new customer is between you and them — same as you'd give a friend or a neighbor. We don't take a cut of it, and you only give it to customers who actually walk in the door.

The honest case for word-of-mouth

Ads charge you for attention — clicks, views, and "leads" that may never call. A referred customer is already half-sold, already trusts you, and costs nothing until they're standing at your counter or job site.

  • Higher conversion. Referred customers are 4x more likely to buy than ad clicks.

  • Loyal repeat business. They stay longer, refer their own friends, and rarely shop around.

  • Zero risk to try. A slow month costs you $0 — your reward only goes out when the work actually comes in.

The competitor problem

Most lead services charge $50–$800 a month — whether you book one customer or none.

We charge $5 per completed referral, full stop. No floor, no ceiling, no surprises. That means a quiet month costs you nothing, and a busy month is straight upside.

Pay for customers who show up, not leads that might.

Set your reward in two minutes. Pay only when it works.
