lot of sales, but it does generate a lot of loyalty and thank-you cards.

Well, it was a few years back when we gave $20 but maybe I need to
consider inflation :)
I'm sure $50 would get more excitement.
I tried referrals for employees before but it always led to false
reports & corruption as the employees would lie where the lead came
from.
The hardest part is tracking e
We give one free month for each referral. The customers love it.
I tell them that they get 1 free month for each referral, up to 12 per year.
Anything over that and I'll put them on the payroll. grin They love it. A
few give us more than 3 or 4 per year, but most do not.

I used to give one month free with the referral, plus a free install and one
month free for the new customer.
We had more installs in those days than we could service.

How is the MT/Tranzeo Beta Firmware working? I have issues when the
disconnect happens the AP shows horrible signals from the Tranzeo's
(-105 to -113) but if you start a ping to that radio it drops back to
-69. Is this resolved as well? If I reboot the AP all the signals are
fine.

1. Anyone have any idea what percentage of customers provide referrals, with
a program like "free month for each referral"?
2. Has anyone asked their customers that have not provided referrals, what
would be adequate incentive for them to be willing to?
3. How well do these programs work for re

Great post Tom!
As I mentioned earlier, we used to give $20. A study by my marketing
person showed 90% of our new installs were referrals. The interesting
part was when asked, the referrer said they would've provided the
referral whether or not the $20 was offered.

On the topic of knowing if the lead was qualified and you could offer
service to that lead location (start shameless plug), I know of a company
that can provide you with an inexpensive tool to do a lookup by address and

you may not be able to get a connection? That seems like a pretty poor

towers with 2 or 3 different frequencies before we get a good signal.

We always assume we will get a signal. We are rarely wrong.

number would be?

Nope. When you have about 65 APs up on high ground looking down into your
service territory and totally surrounding it, you can serve everyone.

In this area about 300 square miles.
But we have service territories stretching about 250 miles east to west
across Utah and Nevada.

Negative. I have a tower location that is 4,000 feet above the valley
floor (which is only 5 miles away, direct line of site). We still have
about 40% NOGO's in this area why? Because this is a heavily treed

We only make 1 visit, and that's with the installer ready to install.
When the customer calls, we take their order and we "assume" we can get

install when he arrives. He does a signal check, and once we have a

Pine trees are the worst, they can suck up signal like no tomorrow..
Don't envy you in those situations at all.

That is when we break the news to the customer they have to take the ersatz
service by way of a 900 SM. They still think it is great.
