SOP – Client Referral System (Post-Project)

🎯 Objective 

 Create a consistent, non-pushy referral system that maximizes high-quality referrals from satisfied clients after project completion. 

 This SOP ensures referrals are asked at the right time , with the right message , and tracked properly . 

 

 

 

 🧱 Scope 

 Applies to: 

 All completed Fiverr projects All direct / off-platform clients Website design, redesign, and development services 

 

 

 

 🧠 Core Principle 

 Referrals work only when timing, simplicity, and reward are aligned. 

 Never ask randomly. Never ask emotionally. Always ask systematically. 

 

 

 

 ⏱️ When to Ask for Referrals (Non-Negotiable) 

 Ask for referrals ONLY when all conditions are met : 

 Project is delivered and accepted Client is satisfied (positive feedback or review) No pending revisions or complaints 

 🚫 Never ask during revisions or delays. 

 

 

 

 🎁 Referral Reward (Standardized) 

 Use one clear reward only: 

 🎯 $50–$100 OFF next service OR 🎯 Free value-based add-on (speed optimization, SEO setup, extra page) 

 ⚠️ No cash payouts unless approved. 

 

 

 

 💬 Approved Referral Message (Primary) 

 Send immediately after project acceptance: 

 I’m really happy to hear you’re pleased with the website — working with you has been a great experience 😊

I’m glad we could build a solid business relationship together.

Most of our projects come through word-of-mouth, so I wanted to ask —

if you know anyone who’s looking for a new website or a redesign, I’d truly appreciate an introduction.

As a small thank-you, I offer a 10% discount on your next project for every successful referral.

No pressure at all — just sharing this while everything is fresh.

And of course, I’m always here if you need anything. 

 

 

 

 🔁 Make Referring Easy (Mandatory) 

 Always include a ready-to-forward message : 

 Hi, I recently worked with Jehan from Fiverr on my website and had a great experience.

The communication was smooth, the work was professional, and the final result turned out really strong.

You can see my website here:

👉 [Client Website Link]

Jehan is a Top Rated Seller on Fiverr, has 6+ years of experience, and has completed 2500+ website projects for clients worldwide.

If you’re looking for a reliable Website Developer for a new website or redesign, you can check him out here:

 This removes friction and increases referral rate. 

 

 

 📌 Referral Tracking Procedure (Mandatory) 

 When a new client confirms they were referred : 

 Confirm the Source Ask clearly: “Who referred you to us?” Do not assume or guess. Update CRM Record Add the client’s username in the CRM Apply the label: Referral 

 

 Referred by: [Referrer Name / Username] 

 

 

 

 🚫 Non-Negotiable Rule 

 If the referral source is not logged in the CRM, the referral does not exist. 

 No tracking = no rewards = system failure. 

 

 

 

 ❌ Forbidden Language (Never Use) 

 Do NOT say: 

 “Please help me” “It would mean a lot” “I’m struggling for clients” “Can you do me a favor” 

 This reduces perceived value. 

 

 

 

 🟡 Golden Rule 

 Referrals are asked at the moment of highest trust — not randomly, not emotionally. 

 This SOP protects brand value and compounds growth.
