Referral Program for Home Service Providers
Homeowners hand over house keys to people they trust. Plumbers, electricians, cleaners and repair teams get most work from recommendations; track them and reward the people who make them.
Trust Is the Whole Sale
When a tap is leaking or the AC stops working, people ask a neighbour, family member or housing-society group for a name. The provider recommended by someone known usually gets the call.
This page is for trades and home-care teams that work through visits and quotes. For consultants and agencies, see referral programs for service businesses.
Who Refers Home Service Providers
- Past customers and their neighbours.
- Resident welfare associations, building managers and society secretaries.
- Property agents and interior designers who regularly need reliable tradespeople.
- Other tradespeople who get asked for work outside their own speciality.
How to Run It
- Create a free PayRef business profile listing the services and areas you cover.
- Create a referral program with a flat reward per completed job, or a percentage for larger projects.
- Share the program with building managers, agents and satisfied customers.
- Log each referred enquiry as a lead and use notes for the address area, job type and quote status.
- Mark the lead converted once the job is completed and paid, then record the reward.
Protect Your Reputation
Your referrers are putting their name next to yours. Reward referrals after the work is done and the customer is satisfied, not at the booking stage. This keeps referrers motivated to send serious customers, not any customer.
Illustrative Example
A hypothetical scenario to show the workflow — not a customer result.
A pest-control team shares its referral program with the manager of a housing society. A resident clicks the manager's link and asks for a quote. The team logs the lead, completes the job, marks it converted, and records the agreed reward for the manager.

Become a ReferrerFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need a website to use PayRef?▼
Not necessarily. A business profile and referral program on PayRef gives you a shareable link and QR code. Having your own site is optional.
Can I run different rewards for different services?▼
Yes. You can create separate referral programs, each with its own reward, for services such as repairs, deep cleaning or installation.
How should I handle a referred customer who cancels?▼
Leave the lead unconverted or mark it rejected, and add a note. State your cancellation rule in the referral terms so referrers know in advance.
Can a society manager refer many residents?▼
Yes. A referrer's single link can be shared with many people, and every lead is recorded under that referrer.
Does PayRef guarantee jobs?▼
No. PayRef provides the tools to create a referral program, share unique links and QR codes, and track referrals. Whether a referral turns into jobs depends on your business, your offer and the person referred. PayRef does not guarantee leads, conversions or income.
