Repeat & Referral System

Your Best Customers Come Back. Your Happy Customers Send Friends.

An automated outreach system for your existing customers and known prospects. It knows when a customer moment is ready, what message should be used, and who should be left alone, then queues or sends through your approved delivery rules.

Direct answer

Repeat & Referral keeps known customers from going quiet after the sale, appointment, project, or first conversation. It handles useful follow-up, referral asks, review timing, win-back, reminders, and suppression for people already connected to your business.

Different From Customer Intelligence

Repeat & Referral is the outreach system for people already connected to your business. Customer Intelligence is the opportunity system that decides who is worth acting on and can qualify eligible community leads outside your CRM. Customer Intelligence requires active Repeat & Referral because protected outreach, suppression, and approval controls run here.

Repeat & Referral

Sends or queues useful messages to existing customers and known prospects: follow-up, referral asks, reviews, win-back, reminders, and suppression-aware outreach.

Customer Intelligence

Finds opportunity signals, including eligible non-competing community leads outside your CRM, then protects contact details until the person opts in or clicks through. Requires active Repeat & Referral.

The Revenue You're Leaving on the Table

Businesses lose repeat and referral opportunities when follow-up depends on memory. The customer was happy, the work or sale went well, and then... silence. Months later they hire or buy from someone else because your name was not in front of them at the right moment.

A customer who loved your work hires a competitor because you never checked in

A repeat customer was due for service or another purchase 3 months ago - nobody noticed

Your happiest customer would refer you to everyone, but nobody asked

You meant to send that follow-up message last week, but daily operations took over

This system makes sure none of that happens.

How It Works

Three layers working together: timing intelligence, automated outreach, and built-in protection.

Timing Intelligence

  • Tracks customer history: first purchase, latest service, appointments, projects, total value, and relationship context
  • Predicts when each customer is likely due for the next purchase, appointment, project, or service based on their history
  • Monitors satisfaction signals: reviews left, complaints, compliments, payment behavior
  • Categorizes customers automatically: active, dormant, churned, VIP, do-not-contact

Automated Outreach

  • Queues or sends the right message via email or SMS based on trigger, approval, and delivery rules you set once
  • 30+ trigger types: follow-up, referral asks, win-back campaigns, seasonal reminders, birthday greetings, VIP promotions, milestone celebrations, and more
  • Templates are pre-written and personalized per customer — name, service history, timing
  • Delivery tracked end-to-end: sent → delivered → opened → clicked → replied

Built-In Protection

  • Suppression engine prevents over-contacting — respects unsubscribes, bounces, complaints
  • Legal compliance built in: opt-out handling, SMS consent, suppression lists
  • Quiet periods — stays silent when the timing isn't right
  • VIP customers get treated differently than dormant ones

30+ Automated Trigger Types

Every outreach message is tied to a specific customer moment. The system does not blast — it queues or sends only when there is a reason to.

Referrals Don't Happen by Accident

The system tracks every referral from submission to conversion. When a customer refers someone, the system logs it, follows up with the referred prospect, tracks whether they convert, calculates the revenue generated, and can even manage incentive delivery. You see the full pipeline — not just "someone mentioned us."
