Use AI to write professional referral request messages to builders, contractors, and past customers.
Growing your plumbing business often depends on word-of-mouth from builders, general contractors, property managers, and happy homeowners. But asking for referrals can feel awkward or pushy if you don't get the words right. AI can draft professional, friendly referral request messages that feel natural and make it easy for people to recommend you — whether you're reaching out to a contractor you've worked with once or a homeowner whose kitchen you replumbed last year.

“Act as a business communication expert helping tradespeople grow through referrals. Write a short, friendly message I can send to [describe who: e.g. a general contractor I did two bathroom rough-ins for last month / a homeowner whose burst pipe I fixed six months ago / a property manager I've done three tenant call-outs for]. The message should thank them for working with me, briefly remind them what I do, and politely ask if they know anyone who might need a reliable plumber. Keep it warm and natural, not salesy. Make it short enough to send as a text or email. End with my name placeholder [YOUR NAME] so I can personalize it.”
