Subject: Know someone who could benefit from what we do?

Hi [Client Name],

It has been great working with you on [Project/Service Name], and I am pleased to hear that things are going well. Thank you for your trust in [Company Name].

The best compliment we can receive is a referral from a satisfied client. If you know a business owner or colleague who is facing similar challenges to those we helped you with, we would love an introduction.

We are a great fit for businesses that:
- [Ideal Client Characteristic 1, e.g. "Are growing quickly and struggling to keep up with manual processes"]
- [Ideal Client Characteristic 2, e.g. "Want to improve their client communication and retention"]
- [Ideal Client Characteristic 3, e.g. "Are looking to save time on repetitive admin tasks"]

If someone comes to mind, you can simply forward this email with a quick introduction, or send me their details and I will reach out directly with a mention of your name.

As a thank you, we offer [Referral Incentive, e.g. "a $200 credit on your next invoice" or "a complimentary strategy session"] for every successful referral.

No pressure at all. We just wanted you to know the door is open.

Warm regards,

[Your Name]
[Your Title]
[Company Name]
[Phone Number]
