Referral Program Templates

Insurance Referral Program Template

Adapt sample messages, referral rules, and setup steps for your Insurance business.

Who this template is for

Use this starting point for insurance marketing and operations teams planning customer-to-customer referrals. Define when a referral counts before choosing the reward. One example is a referred lead meeting the criteria your team approved.

What to decide before setup

Have your insurance compliance team approve the action, audience, reward, disclosures, and timing. This template does not supply state rules or establish that a gift card, premium credit, or policy-linked reward is permitted.

The bracketed text below is for you to replace. These placeholders are not GrowSurf email variables. Map them to the supported fields in the tool you use to send each message.

See the Insurance referral workflow and the referral program setup guide.

GrowSurf Setup Guide

1. Choose when a referral counts

For this template, consider a referred lead meeting the criteria your team approved. Your CRM or backend confirms the approved criteria. Your team handles policy status, cancellations, location restrictions, and any other required checks.

2. Set rewards and approval

Use the Program Editor to choose the referral trigger, rewards, and approval settings. Choose a reward only after your team approves it for the intended audience. Premium credits and policy-system updates require your own delivery process unless you have separately verified an integration.

3. Connect signup and confirmation

Connect your signup flow so GrowSurf knows who referred each new customer. For an action that happens later, configure Sign Up + Qualifying Action and use a supported integration or your backend to confirm it. Follow the REST API tutorial for a backend connection.

4. Add the referral widget

Add the referral widget inside your app or customer portal. Customers can share their link and see their progress. Follow the JavaScript SDK tutorials for setup.

5. Adapt and send messages

Replace every placeholder and check the final copy against your program rules. Use your email platform for audience segments and reminders. Send the delivery email only after the reward has been sent, not just approved.

6. Check the full journey

Test a referred signup, the later action, manual approval if enabled, and reward delivery. Confirm that signup alone does not earn credit when your program requires a later action. Your backend must avoid issuing the same reward twice when a notification is retried.

Real-World Example

Lemonade: a Netherlands-specific program

Lemonade’s Netherlands referral terms require participants and invited friends to reside in the Netherlands. They describe a policy remaining in force for a specified period before a referral counts.

This is an external program example from the Netherlands, not evidence of a US insurance offer or a GrowSurf customer result. Read Lemonade’s Netherlands terms. A US team must define its own approved rules.

Customization Tips

Make the rules specific to your business

Your CRM or backend confirms the approved criteria. Your team handles policy status, cancellations, location restrictions, and any other required checks.

Choose a reward only after your team approves it for the intended audience. Premium credits and policy-system updates require your own delivery process unless you have separately verified an integration.

Measure the action you chose

Compare referred signups with completed actions and delivered rewards. Use your billing or reporting system for acquisition cost, retention, and revenue analysis.
