Start Making Customer Referrals Easy

Here at Grasshopper, we have a very loyal and amazing customer base. They are continuously telling their friends about our service via Twitter, Facebook and of course through our referral tool, Spreadable.

What is Spreadable?

If you haven’t heard about Spreadable, it’s a new tell a friend tool from our parent company, Grasshopper Group. But it actually came to be right here on Grasshopper.com.

For those of you who have ever seen or used the Refer an Entrepreneur button on our site, that’s Spreadable!

 

A few years ago, we wanted a better way for our customers to refer our product. We tried a couple of different tools but nothing really fit our needs, so we built our own. The result?

* A tool that in one year gave us a 20% conversion rate and generated over $100,000 in additional word of mouth revenue! *

Which Celebrity Would You Have Record Your Voicemail?

 

This past week MTV teamed up with Justin Bieber for a campaign against digital abuse. The prize? A trip to MTV studios and a personalized voicemail greeting from the Biebs himself.

For our Grasshopper blog readers, a voicemail greeting from a 16-year old pop star probably isn’t your ideal prize but it did get me thinking…

If you could have any celebrity record your voicemail greeting, who would it be?

Personally, I think Mr. T answering my phone would be pretty sweet. Here at Grasshopper, we had Gary Busey record some hilarious videos for us but not our voicemail greeting. We decided to leave that to our voice studio professionals.

So who would it be?
