Everybody Wins – Home Security Referral Program
September 30, 2011
We have some exciting news: LifeShield has revamped its Referral Program! To kick-off the new deal, we asked real estate agents to share their success stories with us. One of our best stories came from Michael Pink of MAP Real Estate in Chicago. He and his wife have 16 years of success using their own referral model called Investing in Communities (IIC). The program, which began as a personal business practice in 1995, officially became a non-profit last year and has already generated $115,000 in philanthropy.
Interestingly, Michael and his wife began IIC as an experiment. One day he asked himself, “What if we could do something to differentiate ourselves and feel good about it at the same time?”With that idea, IIC was born. By replacing referral fees with client directed philanthropy the couple has “proven that ‘doing business, doing good,’ is a great way to do and get business.” In fact, Michael has accredited over 100 tenant-rep deals to referrals through IIC.
Referrals programs, such as this one, are successful because “everybody wins,” explained Michael. Such is the case with LifeShield’s new nationwide model. Designed especially for real estate professionals, LifeShield pays a $150 commission each and every time an agent successfully refers a client, friend, or family member. New customers referred by these agents will receive a free LifeShield HomeView wireless camera and 30 days of free security monitoring. With LifeShield’s 30-day money back guarantee the program is risk-free.
“The realtor referral program was designed to be win-win,” said Evan Kramer, LifeShield’s SVP of Interactive Marketing. “Real estate agents are not only gaining a commission but they’re also gaining an edge on their competition. Clients will remember that you went above and beyond for them.” In a saturated market and tough economy this distinguishing factor can be the difference between you and “the other guy.”
The clients, family, and friends referred to LifeShield are also winning big with their decision. There are numerous benefits to adding a wireless home security system to your home:
- Discounts up to 20% off your homeowner’s insurance
- The peace of mind that comes with protecting your home and family
- 30 days of free security monitoring
- A free HomeView wireless camera (a $169.00 value)
- Free, customizable alerting options
- Access to LifeView home monitoring
- Free mobile apps for your PC, smart phone, and tablet
- 5-Diamond monitoring offered through Guardian Protection Services
