Referral Network Builder
We find the 4–5 businesses already standing in front of your ideal client — before the job is even posted — and we build the relationships that make them send it to you instead of your competitor.
The real problem
The plumber finishing a water heater job already knows the homeowner needs a restoration company. He just hasn't met you yet.
Right now, that plumber is sending the job to whoever he happens to know. It isn't a better company than yours — it's just a more familiar name. That's the entire gap we close.
Cold ad lead
- → Doesn't know you
- → Price-shops 4 competitors
- → Closes at 20–30%
- → CAC: $400–700
Referred lead
- → Trusts you before calling
- → Rarely gets a second quote
- → Closes at 60–80%
- → CAC: ~$0
How we build your network
Three steps. Delivered once. Maintained by you with the tools we hand you.
Map your referral ecosystem
We identify every type of business already in contact with your ideal client at the exact moment they need your service. For restoration that's plumbers, adjusters, property managers. For roofing it's adjusters, realtors, gutter companies. For HVAC it's plumbers, home inspectors, electricians.
Output: a shortlist of the 4–5 highest-leverage partner types for your market.
Recruit and activate your partners
We reach out to real businesses in your area using proven outreach scripts. We explain the value exchange, handle the first conversation, and set up the referral agreement. By the end, you have 4–5 active partners who have agreed to send jobs your way.
Output: signed agreements, direct contacts, an active channel.
Hand you the tools to keep it running
A referral network is only as strong as the relationships inside it. We give you a simple system to maintain those relationships without a retainer: a follow-up cadence, a monthly touchpoint template, and a reciprocity structure so your partners keep thinking of you first.
Output: you own the network. No dependency on us.

The math on a mature network
Each partner sends ~12–15 referrals per year. Four partners = ~60 jobs.
| Active partners | Referred jobs / year | At $8,000 avg ticket | vs. paying $500 CAC / job |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 partner | 12–15 jobs | ~$112,000 | saves $6,000–7,500/yr |
| 2 partners | 25–30 jobs | ~$224,000 | saves $12,500–15,000/yr |
| 4 partners | ~60 jobs | ~$480,000 | saves $30,000/yr |
Numbers based on industry averages. Your results depend on your market and close rate.
