Your best leads
come from happy
clients.

Word of mouth is the best marketing there is — and the easiest to forget to ask for. This does the asking for you: every client gets their own permanent link to share, and a gift card thanks them when a friend reaches out.

The friend arrives as a warm lead— you're the person they asked for.

Why word of mouth stalls

Everyone loves referrals.
Nobody asks for them.

Your happiest clients would gladly send a friend your way — if it ever crossed their mind at the right moment. The problem was never willingness. It's that asking is awkward and easy to forget.

1

You finish a great job, everyone's happy — and then life moves on and no one thinks to mention you to a neighbor.

2

Asking a client to refer you feels like begging, so most contractors never bring it up at all.

3

And the leads you buy instead are cold strangers — nothing like a friend-of-a-friend who already trusts your name.

02
Three steps

You do the work.
The asking is handled.

No awkward conversation, no coupon codes to hand out. The link, the reward, and the thank-you are all handled for you — you just keep doing great work.

1

Every client gets their own link

Each client on your list has a permanent personal referral link — it never expires. Send it to up to 100 clients in one tap, and it rides along automatically in the emails you send through LeadChuck. They pass it to a friend, family member, or neighbor who needs similar work.

Permanent, per client
2

Their friend requests an estimate

The friend opens a plain “Request a Free Estimate” form — no mention of gift cards, no pressure. They fill it in and it comes straight to you as a warm lead: you're the person they were pointed to.

Your client confirms, the gift card ships

Your client gets a one-tap “you earned a reward” email showing exactly how much before they tap. It's unconditional — the card is theirs the moment they confirm, whether or not the friend ever hires anyone.

What it actually looks like

The referral, end to end.

Here's the referral screen inside LeadChuck — the link your client shares and the reward that goes out when they confirm. This is the real product, not a mockup.

Two things happen, cleanly

The friend's side and your client's side never mix:

  • The friend seesA plain “Request a Free Estimate” form. No gift-card talk, no pressure — it just reaches you as a warm lead.
  • Your client seesA one-tap “you earned a reward” email showing the amount before they confirm. Unconditional — no sale required.

The reward, straight

Unconditional. Contractor-set. No games.

The gift card thanks your client for the introduction — not for a closed job. You decide what it's worth, and it goes out the moment they confirm.

Who earns it
Your client

The person who shared the link — thanked for pointing a friend your way, whether or not that friend ever books.

How much
You set it

You choose the gift amount, locked in per referral when the client confirms. Set it to whatever a warm lead is worth to you.

When it lands
On confirm

Prefund your gift-card wallet and the card ships the instant they tap confirm — usually within minutes. Unfunded, it goes out once the referral charge settles, a few business days.

The gift-card wallet is a prepaid balance with one job — funding your referral rewards. Wallet funds are platform credits, not a bank or deposit account: nonrefundable, non-withdrawable, no cash value, no interest. Full terms in the Credits Addendum.

Straight answers

Questions, answered.

How does the referral program work?

Every client on your list gets a permanent personal referral link to pass to friends who need similar work — send it to up to 100 clients in one tap, and it's included automatically in the emails you send through LeadChuck. When a friend requests an estimate through it, they come to you as a warm lead — and your client gets a thank-you gift card the moment they confirm the referral.

Does the gift card depend on the friend hiring me?

No. The gift card is unconditional. It's a thank-you for the introduction, not a commission on a sale — your client earns it the moment they tap confirm, whether or not the friend ends up booking anyone.

How fast does the gift card arrive?

Keep your gift-card wallet prefunded and the card ships the moment your client taps confirm — usually landing in their inbox within minutes. Without a funded wallet, the card goes out once the per-referral charge settles, typically a few business days.

What is the gift-card wallet?

A prepaid balance with one job: funding your referral gift cards so they ship instantly. Wallet funds are platform credits, not a bank or deposit account — they're nonrefundable and can't be withdrawn, transferred, or redeemed for cash, and they don't earn interest. Full terms are in our Credits Addendum.

How much is the gift card?

You choose the amount, and it's locked in per referral when the client confirms. Set it to whatever a warm introduction is worth to you.

What does the friend actually see?

Just a clean “Request a Free Estimate” form — no gift-card talk, no reward framing, nothing to sign up for. The thank-you goes only to your client, separately. There's a full walkthrough of the friend's side on our homeowner page.

Why do referred friends convert so well?

Because they're not a cold lead — a person they trust pointed them to you by name. You're the contractor they asked for, which is the warmest kind of lead there is.
