In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Small Business Owners
Referral Programme Your Customers Will Actually Use
Prompt
Business and typical customer: {{BUSINESS_TYPE}}
Average sale value: {{AVERAGE_SALE}}
Gross margin percent: {{GROSS_MARGIN}}
Where referrals come from today, if anywhere: {{CURRENT_REFERRALS}}
Design:
1. The reward structure: what the referrer gets and what the new customer gets. Show the maximum reward I can afford per new customer from my margin, and recommend something below it. Consider non-cash rewards that cost me less than they're worth to the customer.
2. The moment to ask: when customers are happiest, based on my type of business.
3. How it runs: tracking method (codes, cards, a form), with the simplest option for a business without a CRM.
4. Copy: the in-person ask (2 sentences), a follow-up text message, an email, and a small printed card.
5. Three ways the programme could be abused and how to prevent each.
Constraints: check that rewards are legal and honest where I operate. Flag that some industries (finance, health, legal) restrict referral payments, and that I should check local rules.
