Use AI to write professional referral request emails to builders and contractors who've seen your work.
When you finish a job on a builder's site or work alongside other contractors, they've seen your quality firsthand — but they won't always think to refer you unless you ask. AI helps you write a friendly, professional referral request that reminds them of your work and makes it easy for them to send business your way. This is perfect after wrapping up a job where you worked alongside electricians, builders, property managers, or general contractors who might have clients needing a reliable plumber.

“Act as a business development coach for trade professionals. I'm a plumber and I just finished a job where I worked alongside [another contractor type, e.g. 'a general contractor on a kitchen renovation']. They seemed happy with my work, and I want to send them a short, professional email asking if they'd keep me in mind for referrals. Write an email that: thanks them for the collaboration, briefly reminds them what I did well, asks if they'd be willing to refer me to their clients who need plumbing work, and offers to do the same for them. Keep it friendly, not pushy, and under 150 words. The contractor's name is [name] and the project was [brief description, e.g. 'the Smith residence kitchen and bathroom remodel'].”
