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! *

If you’ve been following our blog over the past year, you may have noticed a few changes lately, mainly we’ve had fewer updates. Well if you didn’t know already, this is due to the launch of Grasshopper Group.
Over the past seven years we’ve gone from GotVMail to Grasshopper, launched Chargify and are releasing our newest product, Spreadable in the next few months. There’s been a lot going on and basically we needed to create a better structure. That’s where Grasshopper Group comes in.
Grasshopper Group is the parent company of Grasshopper, Chargify, Spreadable and any other products we develop in the future. Grasshopper Group will be where we focus our entrepreneurial efforts, allowing our products to improve, evolve and be the best in their respective industries.
What does this mean for Grasshopper?
The only difference is we will have more time to focus on making sure our virtual phone system has everything

Scott Miller of The Bee, guest posts over on Grasshopper Group. He provides some great advice on starting a business using the lessons he has learned over the years. Here’s an excerpt:
It’s Easy to Quit
In the early stages of a new venture, it seems that more things go wrong than go right. Its easy to get discouraged with lack of progress, software bugs, and slow customer adoption. Its even easier to quit and give up. However, its been my experience, that when things look the worst, there usually is some encouraging sign. Whether its a new customer, a new product release, or a successful marketing campaign, these wins need to be celebrated to keep morale up.
