We’ve identified that the majority of our business comes from referrals. To make sure we provide those referring to us with a proper ‘thank you’, we have a referral programme in place.
What does the referral programme involve?
If you introduce us to a business that goes on to become a client, you’ll receive a £1000+VAT reward when they successfully sign paperwork to start working with us.
You’ll then receive a further £1000+VAT each year, paid in the anniversary month, for as long as that client continues active development work with us (spending a minimum of £1000 + VAT per month).
Simply keep an eye out for suitable businesses during your day-to-day work and let us know if you have a potential referral.
We’ll send occasional updates on our work, what we’re looking for, and opportunities to connect at relevant events.
What does an ideal Switchplane client look like?
We work with owner-managed SMEs who want to improve how their business operates.
They are typically:
- Directors, MDs, or CEOs
- Operating in sectors like construction, manufacturing, or other operational industries
- Dealing with real-world complexity in how their jobs are delivered
They value working with a partner who:
- Understands how their business actually runs, day to day
- Can handle complexity without overcomplicating things
- Takes compliance, regulation, and auditability seriously
- Acts as a trusted advisor and partner, not just a supplier
Our role is to help organisations be the best they can be by solving complex problems and building world-class software that supports how their business really works.
In most cases, clients partner with us long term, often investing around £5k + VAT per month.
Common signs someone could be a good fit
- Processes that are complex, manual, or hard to manage
- Heavy reliance on spreadsheets or disconnected systems
- Gaps in visibility, reporting, or control
- Compliance, audit, or health and safety processes that are difficult to manage
- Bottlenecks affecting delivery, team capacity, or customer experience
- A sense that the business could run better, but no clear path to get there
Any of these are a good starting point for a conversation.
Who tends to refer us?
We’re often introduced by people who already have a trusted relationship with these businesses, such as:
- Accountants
- IT partners and MSPs
- Business coaches and consultants
- Industry advisors and specialists
- Solicitors and other professional services
Interested?
If you come across someone who you believe fits this client profile, please introduce us and we’ll take it from there.
The easiest way to do this is to cc sarah@switchplane.com into an email introduction, with a short note on why you thought of us.
Just let us know separately that it’s a referral as part of our programme, and we’ll keep you updated and confirm any reward clearly.
