1. Voice & tone:

• Match your communication style to your ideal client (e.g., professional for B2B, conversational for indie creators)

Implementation Checklist

1. Add referral terms to contracts:
2. Example: "Refer a fellow podcaster and receive 10% off your next month's editing package."
3. Create shareable assets:

• Pre-written email/text templates for clients
• Social media graphics with referral codes (use Canva templates)

1. Track results:

• Use HoneyBook or Dubsado to monitor referral sources
• Offer double incentives during launch months (e.g., "June Referral Bonanza")

Pro Tip: Feature a "Client Advocate of the Month" on your website/social media to showcase top referrers.

Case Study Suggestion:

Interview an editor who grew their business through referrals, focusing on how they structured incentives and communicated value to clients.
