Integrations make it possible to manage your referral program from the business tools you already use. Meaning you can launch and run powerful referral program, but avoid all the manual work that’s usually associated to managing a referral program.
Here are some of the reasons you’d use an integration to automate your referral program management:
👉 Sync your contacts to auto-generate their referral links, or you can invite them to join your referral program.
👉 Send your new referred contacts straight into the workflows you already use. These are the new referred leads being generated through your referral program.
👉 Qualify the referred contacts that convert by updating things like: Lead status, Contact Properties, Deal Stages, And Custom Properties inside your CRM. This lets your referral software know (in an automated way) that one of your referrals has converted into a paying customer.
👉 Automatically issue rewards to the contacts who refer new business your way.
👉 Generate more high-quality leads through your referral program 🚀
These are the integrations that are currently live at Referral Factory, please check their website to see if they have launched new integrations since writing this post. They launch new integrations monthly with tools like Monday.com, Stripe, and Service Titan on the roadmap in 2023.
