What to reward
Repeat jobs, referrals, reviews and years as a customer.
Perks that cost little
Priority scheduling, waived trip fees, free filter changes or a small credit on the next job.
Referrals
Reward both the customer and the friend they bring.
Anniversaries
Celebrate a year as a customer with a thank-you and a perk.
Track it in your software
Tag loyal customers so every CSR and tech knows who they are.
Measure the cost
Track how many perks were used and how much repeat revenue came in.
Getting started
Pick one perk, like priority scheduling for customers with three or more jobs, and tell them about it in your next follow-up.
Common mistakes
Complicated points, rewards no one uses and forgetting to tell customers the program exists.
Example
An HVAC company gave priority scheduling to customers with three or more jobs and told them in a short thank-you text. During the first heat wave, those customers were served first and many left reviews mentioning it. Repeat calls from that group grew the following year.
