How to Set Up Your Referral System with RoloShare
Building a successful referral system requires strategy, consistency, and a strong network. RoloShare makes it easy for businesses to establish, manage, and grow a profitable referral network. By following the four-step process outlined below, you can transform your business into a referral-driven powerhouse.

Step 1: Create Your Rolo
Goal: Generate referral business from your own customers
-
Network Size = 1
Before you can build a network, ensure that your business is referrable. This means your customers trust you and are willing to recommend your services. Ask yourself:
- Can people easily find you online and offline?
- Do you leave a quality first impression that encourages trust?
- Are you demonstrating trustworthiness through reviews, testimonials, or case studies?
- Do you have an attractive offer to bring in new customers?
- Do you provide incentives for client and partner referrals?
- Are you currently receiving referrals? If not, why?
-
Once you have a strong foundation, start building your personal network with your existing partners and relationships. These initial connections are crucial for establishing credibility.
Step 2: Share Your Rolo
Goal: Generate referral business from your partners and their customers
-
Network Size = 3 - 5
Now that your business is referrable, it's time to formalize your personal network by teaming up with partners. Your next steps:
- Identify trusted partners within your existing connections.
- Ensure that your partners are also referrable—strong networks thrive on quality.
- Help your partners by making their referral process simple and beneficial.
- Ask: How do we make referring easy and desirable?
- Implement actionable strategies that turn passive partners into active referrers.
-
A successful referral system is not just about numbers—it’s about engagement. Focus on creating mutual benefits that encourage ongoing referrals.
STEP 3: Grow Your Rolo
Goal: Turn referral business into a consistent revenue generator
-
Network Size = 10 - 25
With a small, engaged network in place, it’s time to expand strategically by attracting new partners who can introduce additional referrals.
- Leverage your personal network to bring in partners who share your referral goals.
- Encourage cooperative sharing between trusted partners to maximize benefits.
- Simplify the referral process to make it desirable for new partners to refer.
- Provide incentives that motivate partners to actively participate.
-
At this stage, consistency is key. Maintain regular communication with your network, provide updates, and track referral performance.
STEP 4: Connect Rolos
Goal: Create a steady stream of referral business from many sources
-
Network Size = 50 - 100
Once your personal referral network is well-established, it’s time to link it with other networks for exponential growth.
- Inherit trusted partners from other established networks.
- Expand your reach across multiple business categories.
- Facilitate viral growth by allowing referrals to circulate organically.
-
At this stage, your referral network should be self-sustaining—new referrals bring in more business, which in turn attracts new partners.
STEP 5: Promote Your Network
Goal: Faster growth and consistent returns
-
A well-functioning referral system doesn’t stop at network expansion; it also requires active promotion.
- Encourage cooperative promotion between partners.
- Leverage joint marketing strategies for wider visibility.
- Run referral contests, campaigns, and exclusive events to incentivize participation.
- Regularly evaluate and optimize referral incentives to maintain engagement.
- Utilize social media, email marketing, and industry partnerships to maximize exposure.
