Eight companies in Lexington-Fayette, KY held monthly lunch meetings, but the collaboration was stuck amongst the owners. Cross-brand referrals were occasional. Payouts were rare and anything paid was done manually with zero transparency. Service professionals weren't excited and most opportunities never got referred at all.

"Before TradeEngage, the collaboration among owners was well-intentioned, but sporadic at best. The lack of systems made it hard."

After TradeEngage, 15% of our annual revenue came from referrals. We closed a $9K whole-home upgrade that a service tech referred on the app.
