How would you like to turn everyone with a cell phone into your COMMISSION ONLY REFERRAL AGENT?  Well, we have created a system that allows local businesses to track customers that were generated a by a referral from someone.  This system is much better than the old “pass out my business card”.  People aren’t going to keep a stack of your business cards to hand out and many of them may not even trust that you will give them a commission since there is really no way to track it.

Businesses now have the ability to only pay for “advertising” that ACTUALLY WORKS!  You only have to pay a commission if a sale is made (or other action you want).  No more dropping money on coupon flyers every month even when you don’t get any customers or sales!

STEP 1:
Agent Shares Card

STEP 2:
Agent Earns Reward

STEP 3:
Pay Agent Rewards

STEP 1:  After we have created your Referral Card you will need to determine how you want to offer them to your Referral Agents.  We will give you a QR Code that you can post for Agents to scan to load the Referral Card onto their phone.  We will also give you a website address that you give out that will allow people to load the Referral Card onto their phone.  You determine where you want to post the information and the requirements for people to become your Referral Agents.  You may require them to visit your place of business to load the Referral Card.  You may only want to offer it to current customers or just your friends and family.  You can also post it on the Refer SWFL Business Directory.  You are in complete control.  The Referral Agents just share their Referral Cards with potential customers.  The Refer SWFL System gives them the ability to share their Referral Cards by texting or sharing a short website address.  You can see a sample Referral Card here (looks best on mobile):  https://referswfl.com/cards/swflcoolcars/

STEP 2:  After a person comes to you with a Referral Card and does whatever is required (make a purchase, take a test drive, walk in the door, watch a sales presentation) all you have to do is scan the Referral Card with your phone or enter your PIN.  After the Referral Card has been scanned the Referral Agent that referred the customer will receive a notice that a customer they referred has had their Referral Card scanned.  The Referrer will receive the points assigned for the scan.  Depending on your Program it will be enough points for a Reward or they can save up Points for a larger Reward.

STEP 3:  When a Referral Agent comes to you with a Referral Card which has earned a Referral Reward you just enter your PIN to claim the reward and pay the Reward that you are offering with your Program.

Q:  Will Refer SWFL help us get Referral Agents?
A:  Yes, if you want us to.  We will be promoting our business as much as possible with local trade shows, ads, promotional items and even on our vehicles.  If you list your business in our Refer SWFL Business Directory then visitors to our site will see your Refer SWFL Referral Program listed and may join.

Q:  Does Refer SWFL earn a commission from the sales generated through the Program?
A:  No.  We don’t charge the Businesses or the Agents any commissions.  We only charge the Business a small monthly flat fee regardless of the amount of sales.

Q:  Does one Referral Card cover every Business that is participating?
A:  No, each Business will offer it’s own Referral Card and Rewards.

Q:  How do I get the Referral Card to the Referral Agents?
A:  Each Business controls how they offer their Referral Card.  See Step 1 above.  Please visit the Refer SWFL Business Directory for more information.

Q:  Will an Agent earn a Reward for everything the customer ever buys from the Business?
A.  It can if you want to.

Q:  Will this track online sales from my Business website?
A:  No, the Referral Card must be scanned by the Business.

Q:  Is it possible for the Agents to “cheat” and give themselves Rewards?
A:  After the Business scans the Referral Card they are required to enter their SECRET PIN to authorize the scanning of the Pass.  Keep your PIN a Secret!  If you believe a Reward was received in error or under fraudulent conditions you may choose not honor the Reward.  We also have tracking systems inside the software that we can check for you if you have any questions about a Reward.

Q:  Will this work for Businesses outside the SWFL Area?
A:  If a Business outside of the SWFL area wants to participate we will let them.  We are also getting ready to launch ReferFL.com which will cover all of Florida.  Our goal is to offer a National Program (www.ReferASale.com) eventually once everything is ready and we can handle the growth.

Q:  Do the customers have to purchase something for the Referrer to receive the Reward?
A:  It depends on the Program the Business is offering.  The Business can scan the Pass whenever they want, no purchase is actually required by our system.  The Business may offer a Reward if an Agent refers someone that takes a test drive in a car, watches a product demonstration, tours a model home or just walks through the door!

Q:  Is my information safe?
A:  We don’t store any financial information or sensitive personal information.  The Business will get and keep any financial information they require from Agents for Reward Payments.

Q:  What if I or my potential Agents don’t have a phone that will scan Referral Cards?
A:  We also offer a PIN that can be entered instead of scanning the Referral Card.

Q:  Who controls paying the Referral Agents the Rewards?
A:  The Business is required to handle all payments.  The Business is also required to get any personal or financial information they need from the Agents.

Q:  Does a Business have to offer a Cash Reward?
A:  No.  The Reward is completely up to you.  Restaurants may want to offer a free appetizer or meal.  Other Businesses may want to offer a discount on a future purchase made by the Referral Agent.  You may also offer shirts, hats or other gifts.  It is completely up to the Business.

Q:  Can I offer different Rewards depending on how much the Customer purchases or does?
A:  Not exactly.  The system only tracks if a Referral Card has been scanned and rewards an exact amount of points no matter what.  You may purchase additional Referral Cards that offer different Rewards.  For example:  Referral Card 1 is for purchases up to $100, Referral Card 2 is for purchases up to $500 and so on.  You would then scan the Referral Card corresponding to the Customer’s purchase or actions.

Q:  Can I get a discount if I order multiple Referral Cards and Rewards?
A:  Yes.  If you are offering multiple Referral Cards where we could “copy and paste” some of the information while creating the code for the different Referral Cards.  An example would be a car lot that wants a separate Referral Card for each Sales Person.
