Marketing Smarts Episode #118: How to Effectively Use Referrals to Grow Your Business with Raúl Galera, ReferralCandy

Referrals, referral, referrals. They can be the best way to grow your business. But how exactly do you get them? It helps to get to know your customers, build a clear and easy-to-understand referral program, create two-way interactions with your customers, and facilitate a community that is not about you. You’ll also need to know when you’re ready for a referral program, how to budget for it, build an effective program, and make sure it stays fresh. We wanted you to learn from an expert who knows referrals better than anyone, so we welcomed on Raúl Galera. He’s the Chief Advocate at ReferralCandy, which essentially allows companies to run referral programs on autopilot. This episode covers everything from referral programs to automation. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:

  • How do you use referrals to grow your business?
  • What structure will work best for your business?
  • How do you know when you’re ready for a referral program?
  • Why should you get to know your customers?
  • How do you pay for a referral program?
  • What makes a referral program easy to understand?
