Do not let a good enquiry go to waste

Every trade business receives enquiries it cannot take on. You may be fully booked, the job may be outside your usual scope, or you may simply not have the resources available. Instead of turning the customer away, introduce them to Calico Joinery. We will take over the enquiry, quote the work, manage the project and complete everything under the Calico Joinery name. Once the customer has paid, your business receives 3.5% of the total project value.

Fully booked?

Send the enquiry to Calico instead of losing it.

Wrong type of job?

How It Works

How the referral process works

STEP 01

You receive an enquiry

A customer contacts your business about work you cannot or do not want to take on.

STEP 02

You introduce Calico properly

You explain that you work with or recommend a trusted local company called Calico Joinery. With the customer’s permission, you pass their details to us.

STEP 03

We take over completely

Calico contacts the customer, surveys the project, prepares the quotation, completes the work and manages the customer relationship.

STEP 04

You receive 3.5%

Once the project is completed and the customer has paid, we pay your business 3.5% of the total project value.

The Introduction Matters

The introduction is what makes this work

The success of the referral depends heavily on how Calico is introduced to the customer. A strong introduction builds trust before we ever make contact. A weak introduction makes the customer feel like their details have simply been passed to a random company. We need referral partners to recommend us confidently and positively.

Do not say

  • "We cannot do it, but here is another company you can try."

  • "I will pass your number to someone."

  • "Calico might be able to do it."

  • "Here is their number if you want to call them."

Say something like

  • "We are fully booked at the moment, but I know a trusted local company called Calico Joinery that may be able to help."

  • "They handle the full project themselves and have a strong focus on communication, reliability and customer service."

  • "With your permission, I can introduce you directly and ask them to contact you."

The customer should feel recommended, not passed off

The goal is for the customer to feel that you are helping them by introducing them to a trusted business. The warmer the introduction, the more likely the customer is to answer our call, arrange a survey and proceed with the work.
