Referral programme software for small businesses in the UK

Your customers already recommend you. WOM turns that into a system — with a branded referral page, tiered rewards, and automatic consent handling.

You know referrals work. You just can't track them.

According to Nielsen, 88% of consumers trust recommendations from people they know more than any other form of marketing. If you run a service business, you already know this. Your best jobs come from word of mouth.

But right now, you have no idea who's sending you work. You can't see which customers are your best advocates. And you definitely can't reward them properly.

Most referral software is built for e-commerce brands with marketing teams. You need something simpler.

A referral programme that runs itself

WOM gives you a branded referral page to share with your customers. When they want to refer someone, they visit your page, fill in a few details, and WOM sends a consent email to the lead. When the lead consents and you accept, you see exactly who sent them.

No spreadsheets. No guesswork. No chasing people to find out how they heard about you.

Research from the Wharton School of Business found that referred customers have a 16% higher lifetime value and are 18% less likely to leave than customers acquired through other channels. A simple referral programme doesn't just bring you more work — it brings you better work.
