We didn't have a way to track our referrals before & it wasn't an offer that we felt appealed to customers. Now, we have a system automated for us that reaches out to customers automatically after they install with us.

Online and Offline Tracking That Captures Every Referral, Including Word of Mouth

If a referral isn’t tracked, you can’t reward it. And if you don’t reward it, it doesn’t happen again.

Referral Links

Every advocate gets a unique link to share by text, email, or social media. Every click and conversion is credited automatically.

QR Codes

Print a personal QR code on business cards, flyers, invoices, receipts, and direct mail. Every scan is tracked like a click.

Name-Based Attribution

When a new customer says “my friend Sarah recommended you,” ReferralHero credits that referral by name. No link needed.

Quick Add

Customers who’d rather make the introduction themselves can add a friend’s name and contact info in seconds.

Clicki Referrals: Tracks referral links and QR codes only. When a new customer simply says a friend sent them, Clicki has no way to credit that referral by name, so word-of-mouth referrals go untracked and unrewarded.
