 * Interior designers (refer after design completion)

 * Home organizers (refer after organization)

 * Contractors (refer after remodeling)

 * Property managers (refer rental properties)

First month: Created simple referral agreements. Began sending referrals to partners.

Month 2: First referrals from partners arrived. Conversion rate: 60% (vs 8% from marketing).

Month 6: 50% of new customers came from partner referrals. Customer acquisition cost: $0. Conversion rate: 60%.

Year 2: 80% of new customers from partners. Revenue grew to $500K. Profit margin improved from 22% to 31% (eliminated marketing spend).
