Going "Public" With Our Referral Program

We have for the past year been exploring a referral program with a few select customers and since it seems to be working well for everyone we have decided to let everyone in on it.    With our referral program you can make some extra cash. In fact our top referrer is earning $160.00 every month.  Sure no one is quitting there day job but hey a little extra money is always nice.

Indulge me for a moment to explain how this program came to be and our philosophy behind it.  Just about a year ago I was sitting in the spa with a couple friends when one of them tried to sell us on his energy or power boost stuff I am not exactly sure anymore.  Truly what he was selling was not just the product but the chance to go market it to others.  Having, as I am sure you have, been approached several times with different Multi Level Marketing  / Pyramid programs I was an instant no.  It is not in my DNA to sell my friends a bunch of stuff they don’t need.  Now understand this guy really did quit his day job and was making a lot of money doing this but none the less it was not for me.  Later that evening another friend made a comment that the yard looked really good and I said yes we had changed to a different gardener and his company was great. I then gave my friend his number.    That is when it came to me that here I was referring him which I was happy to do but how could that be spun into a program that could pay off like my other friend was getting paid for.
After a few cocktails and all of us getting very pruned we came up with a program for referring our pool service.  Since two of my friends were already using our company as were both happy to refer us.  They became our test cases to make sure we could manage such a program.  It seemed perfect this was a chance to make money referring a service that their friends truly needed and everyone could make a little money from the referrals.

How it works is simple you refer a friend to our pool service and you receive  $40.00 if they refer someone you get $20.00, then if that person refers someone you get $10.00 and finally if the friend of the friend refers someone you get $5.00.  Additionally you get this referral payment every six months as long as that customer stays with our service. 
Finally since we are truly professional pool company and have highly trained staff that shows up and does what they are suppose to do people are happy to recommend us. Now we are able to give back for that loyalty.  Want to learn more go to our website at www.sandiegopoolsupply.com or call us at 619-209-8939.
