The Difference the Right Referral Tools Make
Your current process is built on hope. A platform with the right referral tools is built for results. Here's a side-by-side look at the transformation.
Before - All Manual
Manually tracking referrals in complex spreadsheets and long email chains, leading to lost leads, errors, and missed revenue.
Key features:
- Partners have zero visibility into their impact, leaving them to guess their status and wonder if they'll get proper credit for their efforts.
- Spending hours at the end of each month manually calculating commissions, risking payment delays and damaging partner relationships.
- Running a program based on anecdotes with no real data to prove its value, making it impossible to scale or justify investment.

Core Referral Marketing Tools Within the Platform
We provide the essential referral tools you need to move beyond manual tracking and build a program that delivers real, predictable results.
A Professional Hub for Your Partners
Forget clunky spreadsheets and one-off promo codes. To get serious results, you need to provide a professional experience. Our platform lets you create a branded, central hub where your partners and advocates can find everything they need to succeed. This is your Referral HQ. Here, your partners can use our tools to grab their unique tracking links, access marketing materials, and see a real-time dashboard of their own performance. With these referral marketing tools, you're not just asking for referrals; you're equipping partners to win for you.
Automated Tracking & Attribution Tools
Trust is the currency of any referral program. If your partners worry they won't get credit for a deal, they'll stop sending them. Our platform's tracking and attribution tools make this process effortless and foolproof. We allow you to capture referred leads from anywhere and intelligently track every step of that lead's journey. With a seamless CRM sync, every action is recorded and attributed to the correct partner in real-time. This transparency builds the unshakable trust needed to scale your program.
Effortless Payout & Reward Management Tools
The biggest headache of a successful referral program is managing payouts. Our referral marketing tools eliminate this completely. The system automatically tracks commissions owed based on the rules you set, whether it's for a qualified lead or a closed deal. You get a clear, simple report of exactly who to pay and how much, turning a complex administrative task into a simple, one-click process.

The best automated marketing referral tools provide three core experiences:
1. A Branded Partner Portal That Puts Your Identity First
True partnership begins with a professional experience, which is why our platform lets you create a custom-built partner portal where your branding is at the forefront. This becomes the secure, beautiful, and central hub for your advocates. Here, they can get their unique tracking links, access co-branded marketing materials, and see their performance dashboard—all within an environment that looks and feels like an extension of your own company.
2. Deep CRM Integration
Every lead a partner submits is automatically synced, tracked, and updated in your core sales system. But we take it a step further. We bridge the critical gap between your partners and your sales team by embedding the partner portal directly into your CRM. Imagine your sales rep seeing a new referral and instantly getting rich context—who the partner is, their relationship notes, and other deals they've sourced—all without ever leaving their workflow.
3. Collaborative Deal-Closing
For high-value opportunities, your sales team and your partner can launch a Digital Sales Room—a shared, private workspace to strategise, share notes, and co-develop a winning pitch. Because every deal stage is synced directly from your CRM, our platform knows the moment a deal is won. This automatically triggers the commission calculation, ensuring timely payouts and rewards for your partners.
