Referral System

A Contractor Referral Program Built on QR Cards

A contractor referral program does not need to be hard. Hand happy customers a referral QR card, and when a friend reaches out, the lead lands in your Lanello app.

The problem

Word of Mouth Works, Until It Stops

Some of your best jobs come from a neighbor who told a neighbor. But you cannot count on it. People mean to pass your name on, then forget.

When they do remember, they dig for your number or try to describe your truck. Some of those leads never reach you at all.

Three simple steps

How It Works

  1. Hand Out a Referral Card

    After a good job, give the customer a referral QR card. It is easy to stick on the fridge or pass to a friend.

  2. A Friend Scans the Code

    The friend points their phone camera at the code to reach you. No hunting for your number or your company name.

  3. The Lead Reaches Your App

    The new lead shows up in your Lanello app. Automated follow-up and missed call text back help make sure you do not lose it.

Why use it

Why a Contractor Referral Program Makes Sense

Friends Trust Friends

A tip from a neighbor means more than an ad. Your happy customer has already vouched for you.

Nothing Hard to Explain

A card with a code is easy to understand. Your customer does not have to remember a website or a phone number.

Goes With Your Review Cards

You also get scannable Google review cards. One card asks for a review, the other helps a friend find you.

No Lead Falls Through

Every referral lands in the same inbox as your calls and texts. If you miss a call because you are on a roof, missed call text back replies for you.

Results

What You Can Expect

Something Simple to Leave Behind

Your crew has a card to hand out at the end of every job. It keeps the ask short and easy.

Referral Leads in One Place

New leads from referrals sit in your Lanello app with everything else. You can follow up from the same inbox.

More Chances From Happy Customers

Each happy customer is a chance at the next job. Over time, those chances can add up.

How many referrals you get depends on how many cards you hand out, your area and how fast you call people back.
