Referral Rewards — How the System Works
Five plain-English case studies covering how to refer someone who needs tech help, how the reward model works, how QR code referrals work in person, why rewards are reviewed before payment, and how small service businesses can build similar referral workflows.
How the referral system works in plain English
You share your referral link or submit a refer-a-job form with permission. If the referred customer completes an eligible paid job that is reviewed by Your IT & Tech Mates, you may earn a referral reward. Rewards are not instant — they are reviewed manually before becoming available.
The five case studies below cover each part of this process in detail — from the first referral through to reward review, withdrawal and how the same workflow applies to other service businesses.

1. How Referring a Tech Job Helps Friends, Family and Local Customers
How a simple referral link or refer-a-job form connects someone who needs tech help with a team that can assist — and how rewards work if the job becomes eligible, completed and paid.
2. A Simple Way to Earn Referral Rewards Without Becoming a Technician
How the reward model works for people who refer jobs but do not do the repairs themselves — the reward tiers, the manual payout process, and what referrers should and should not do.
3. QR Code Referrals: How One Scan Can Start a Tech Help Request
How a referral QR code works in person — what the scan does, where to use printed flyers or counter cards, and how the referral code is applied automatically when the customer opens QuoteMe.
4. Why Referral Rewards Are Reviewed Before Payment
Why there is a 14-day hold and a manual admin review before any referral reward or withdrawal is approved — and how that protects honest referrers and keeps the program fair.
5. How Referral Systems Can Help Small Service Businesses Grow
How word-of-mouth becomes a trackable workflow — what the system needs, who benefits, how it connects to quotes and invoices, and how Your IT & Tech Mates built its own referral system first.
