Functionality of ReferralSoft
Listed below is the key sections of ReferralSoft and its main functionality.
Sending messages, e-cards and getting referrals - Your turn-key electronic
marketing center
At the heart of ReferralSoft is the referral request e-card.
What
are e-cards?... .
These are graphic designed, pre-written e-mails with your picture and a personal
message.
Each e-card has a give referral button that allows your customers
to give referrals to you directly through an online form.

Automatic, multi-step communications
Automated messaging allows you to send up to five e-card messages to customers
that are sent on fixed time schedules. Adding customers is easy. Simply enter
the number of customers you would like to add, enter e-mail addresses and
greetings, and then select which messages you want to include for each client.
You start
the process, and over the following weeks ReferralSoft sends messages on
your behalf.
Pre-loaded with automatic campaigns
ReferralSoft comes pre-loaded with multiple campaign tracks that were
written by mortgage and real estate marketing experts. Each track comes with
3-5
e-card messages that are sent over time (e.g., week 1, week 2, week 4, etc.,).
You
can customize any portion of the campaign, including changing copy, adding
your photo, changing schedules, and changing the designs. Campaigns include:
- Before: A three-card, month-long series for business partners
that you meet who might be good referral sources (lender track)
- During: A five-step, five-week series for customers who
are currently closing their loan (lender track)
- After: a multi-year (perpetual) series for customers who
have closed their loan (lender
track)

are selling their own home (lender
track)

Getting referrals and tracking your campaigns
The biggest pay-off in ReferralSoft is receiving new referrals.
Online referral forms and your customer's experience
Customers receive a nicely formatted e-card personalized to your business. Customers

Viewing your referrals
When a client enters a new referral into the system you will receive an e-mail
in your regular e-mail program notifying you of the referral. You know exactly
who gave you a referral and when they sent it. You
can
call
immediately or send an introduction card. The referrals will also be tracked
in your ReferralSoft
application.

ReferralSoft offers some creative ways to thank your clients for giving referrals,
including rewards and incentives.
These can be found under the Thank You section.
Co-founder Brad Roche makes referrals work for him
With over 15 years as a top-producing loan officer, national marketing advisor, and president of Mortgage Plus of America Corporation, Brad Roche understands that the best way to grow a practice is by harvesting referrals from his satisfied client base. In fact, nearly 100% of all his new clients come from referrals. He's even christened his mortgage company as a 'referral-only business'.
Brad has consistently received over 200 referrals from clients during the process every year and continues his relationships with his clients from a simple one touch yearly tickler and frequent mailings. Now Brad has moved his referral gathering online - through ReferralSoft.
Brad designed and wrote ReferralSoft's successful referral campaigns using the same winning tactics he has used for years offline. ReferralSoft takes these campaigns and optimizes them - through formatted e-cards, an online referral button and form, and automatic once-and-done messaging. Brad and his team make more referral contacts, spend less time, spend less money, and capture more referrals. These campaigns are now available to smart mortgage and real estate professionals across the country who are interested in super-charging their online referral business.
