Write a referral request email
A practical way to use AI for this job in a small business, with a prompt you can copy.
The prompt
Write a short email to a happy customer, [name], who I helped with [job]. Thank them and ask if they know anyone else who might need [service]. Make it easy to say no. Under 90 words.
Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details. Don't paste in anything you wouldn't want stored by the AI provider.
Steps
- Pick customers who've said something nice recently.
- Run the prompt.
- Personalise it.
- Send it.
My verdict
Simple and effective. Never offer a reward for reviews; referrals are different, but check the rules in your industry.
