This program worked very well for the Alpha-Beta supermarket chain and phone giant MCI.

MCI went a little further by offering people bonuses for referring their friends to MCI. Everyone has heard about “the friends and family program.” Referral bonuses in the form of discounts, free washes, and customer awards work very well for us also.

Free Washes For Receptionists

Offer the receptionist of a large building a free car wash in exchange for telling others about your services and informing them of your scheduled stop at their building. Sometimes one free wash is enough to have them telling everyone about your great service. Sometimes they’ll expect it each time you are working at their building. Either way, if their position as the communications link of a large company or building helps get the word out about your services, this referral bonus can pay off. If you don’t get many customers after a while, offer the receptionist a discount price for her car wash.

Asking For Referrals

You should always ask for referrals, as asking for a referral is the easiest way to get them. It is also a great way to build your business. Why wait? Many times, your good customers will be glad to give a referral they may not have thought to give had you not asked.

Thanking Customers

Always thank customers for a referral. Tell them they’re one of your best customers and thank them very much for their help. This involves them in the growth of your business and will motivate them to continue referring people your way.

Make sure that you always have some type of exciting promotion to pitch, something worth talking about and your customers will love it. Everyone wants to save money, everyone wants a bargain, everyone loves the word FREE, after all isn’t that your favorite price? Well it is theirs too. Think about it.
