    Expressing your appreciation to your customers with a simple “thank you” can greatly help in gaining their faith and keeping them affianced. The customers feel valued and communicate your eagerness and gratitude for their referral.

    Reward and Reward

    Make your referral program incentives both ways as it increases the likelihood to get more referrals. Rewarding the referrer and the referred can shoot up your program conversion rates.
