Close more deals from referrals with AI
Menlo IQ makes it easy for small businesses to generate referrals from their professional networks. We believe that driving sales through your community is the best way to grow.
How Menlo IQ Works
Create a free referral campaign
When you sign up, you’ll create a referral campaign for your partners to use in generating referrals for you. At the campaign level, you’ll define the target customer you want to be introduced to.
Your campaign can be shared via a referral link, a form on your website, or even a business card. You and your partners can track all referrals directly within the campaign.
Invite referral partners for free
A referral partner is anyone who completes the sign-up process. With the free plan, once three of your partners sign up, they’ll be able to refer leads to your campaign and make referral introductions for you.
You can also choose to make referral introductions for them through their campaigns.
Sync your contacts privately for AI analysis
You and your partners can sync contacts from tools like Calendly or Stripe to identify referral opportunities. These contacts remain private and are not shared until a referral is made.
Exchange referrals using AI recommendations
When a referral opportunity is identified, Menlo IQ uses AI to research and score the lead based on its fit for you or your partner. Your partners can then send the lead to your referral campaign using their unique referral link.
Once the lead converts, it is attributed to the referral partner and tracked within the Menlo IQ referral CRM.
Close deals, track commissions, and stay motivated
As deals progress through the sales pipeline, your partners can view information about the deals they referred. Menlo IQ also allows you to track recurring commission payouts made via Zelle, ACH, PayPal, and other methods.
To keep partners motivated, Menlo IQ includes a sales leaderboard where they can see their performance and compete to drive more sales for your business.
