Step 01
Share your referral link
Send your referral link to another trade business that has never been a RunYourTrades customer.
Run Your Trades
Run Your Trades referrals
Refer another shop.
Reward both sides.
When you refer a brand-new shop to RunYourTrades, they skip the trial and get their full first month free. Once they complete two full paying months with two cleared payments, you earn account credit equal to one month of their plan.
How it works
Three steps. No complicated points system.
The program is built to be easy to explain: share your link, give another shop a strong reason to try RunYourTrades, and earn credit when that customer sticks around.
Step 02
They start with a full month free
The referred shop skips the normal 14-day free trial and receives its entire first month free instead.
Step 03
You earn credit after they stick
After the referred shop completes two full paying months and both payments clear, credit equal to one month of their plan posts to your account.
The benefit on both sides
They get room to get running. You get rewarded for bringing a good customer.
For the shop you refer
1st month free
More time than the standard trial
A referred brand-new customer skips the 14-day trial and starts with a full first month free, giving the shop time to get its people, jobs, customers, and workflows into the system.
For you
1 month credit
Credit based on the plan they choose
Your reward equals one month of the referred shop’s plan. It applies to your next invoice and rolls forward to future invoices until the credit is used.
When the credit arrives
You’re rewarded for referrals that stick.
The two-paying-month requirement keeps the program focused on real customers rather than quick signups.
Month 1
The referred shop starts RunYourTrades with its full first month free.
Month 2
The referred shop completes its first full paying month.
Month 3
The referred shop completes its second full paying month. Once both payments have cleared, your referral reward becomes eligible to post.
Next invoice
Your account credit is applied to your next invoice. Any unused amount continues rolling forward until used.
What your credit is worth
The referred shop’s plan determines the reward.
The credit equals one month of the referred shop’s subscription. If their plan costs less than yours, the credit lowers your bill rather than necessarily covering the entire invoice.
Example
Solo-plan referral
$129 credit
If the referred shop is on the $129 monthly plan, your earned referral credit is $129.
Example
Crew-plan referral
$299 credit
If the referred shop is on the $299 monthly plan, your earned referral credit is $299.
Example
Shop-plan referral
$449 credit
If the referred shop is on the $449 monthly plan, your earned referral credit is $449.
