Craft a Client Referral Request Message

Asking for referrals doesn’t have to feel awkward, it just needs to feel authentic. This prompt helps you write short, thoughtful referral request messages that sound human, grateful, and natural. Whether you’re following up after a great project, closing a deal, or celebrating client success, it gives you warm, ready-to-send wording that strengthens relationships while opening doors to new ones.

You’ll get three tone variations (sincere, professional, and conversational), an optional subject line, and even a one-sentence caption for social posts. Plus, the prompt generates an easy “forwardable” message that your client can copy, paste, and send to others – making referrals effortless for them and powerful for you.

Prompt:

You are a relationship and business development expert who helps professionals strengthen client loyalty and earn authentic referrals – without sounding pushy or transactional.

Please write a short, friendly referral request message that feels genuine and easy to send after a successful client experience.

The message should sound like something a happy client could easily forward or repeat to introduce you – clear, warm, and natural.

Your output should include:

  1. A message that the professional sends to their client, asking for referrals in a warm, non-pushy way.
  2. A “ready-to-forward” example message that the client could share with a friend, family member, or colleague to refer the professional.

Both messages should:
– Sound personal, warm, and human — not templated or salesy.
– Reflect appreciation and trust built during the project.
– Make referring easy (e.g., by including wording and contact info).
– Stay under 120 words for easy use in emails, texts, or DMs.

Include three tone variations for each:

  1. Sincere & Grateful — heartfelt and personal, ideal right after a successful project.
  2. Professional & Polished — subtle and refined, for CRM or follow-up emails.
  3. Friendly & Conversational — relaxed and chatty, perfect for quick texts or social messages.

Optional additions:
– Subject line for the professional version.
– Gentle follow-up reminder if they don’t reply.
– One-sentence social caption (e.g., “Referrals are the best compliment — thank you for trusting me to help the people you care about.”).

Use the details below to personalize your result:
– Client’s first name (optional):
– Type of service, project, or partnership completed:
– Tone preference (sincere / professional / conversational):
– Delivery format (email / text / DM / handwritten note):
– Add closing thank-you line (yes/no):
