As a solo business owner, you’re always on the hunt for growth hacks that truly work.
GROWTH HACK: LEVERAGING REFERRAL PROGRAMS
Did you know that referral programs can increase your business growth by up to 25%? That’s right! A well-structured referral program isn’t just a tactic; it’s a growth accelerator. Here’s how:
1. Offer Incentives: Give your clients a reason to refer you. This could be a discount, a free session, or a value-added service.
2. Make It Easy: The simpler the referral process, the more likely clients will participate.
3. Track and Optimise: Monitor which incentives work best and adjust accordingly.

A referral program can be a powerful tool for solo service-based business owners.
