I know it's a cliche, but I'm gonna do it anyway. I'm going to tell you why Shaggy Moving exists, what our goals are and all that. But I promise it'll be interesting (at least more than these things usually are).
Every business idea starts with a question. Mine was this: Why hasn't anyone started a moving company that primarily targets those who refer it? After all, referrals are the lifeblood of the industry.
It's a question with a simple answer - the customer is supposed to be king. Which makes sense. But - for the sake of argument - what if they weren't the only king? Don't get me wrong, the customer is extremely important. No business will last with consistently unsatisfied customers. So they’re a king too.
The primary benefit to a happy customer is their word of mouth referral to their friends. Which is fantastic. But it occurred to me that those referrals could also be targeted in a more direct, streamlined, and sustainable manner.
After scouring the internet, I couldn’t find a moving company that gave more than 5% commission for referrals in the entire country. That was crazy to me. I doubled that. And added a $30 guaranteed minimum per successful referral.
I also wanted to give more than money to my referring partners – you’re supposed to be a king or queen, remember? I wanted to give you the resources to easily help your clients when it comes to moving. That’s why I started this blog on our website, Moving Along 101.
I’ll be answering frequently asked moving questions, telling personal moving stories from my time in the industry, giving general moving advice and a lot more. I want you to be educated in moving so you can pass that valuable knowledge on to your clients.
If you’re a realtor, property manager, storage unit manager, or otherwise work with clients that frequently need moving services, you deserve special treatment from at least one company. This is that company. For free information, follow along on this blog. (shaggymoving.com/blog)
To make supplemental income by becoming a referring partner, there’s a few things you can do. You can just start referring us, no sign up required. Once you refer someone, fill out this form: shaggymoving.com/referralclaim . Then you’re set. You’ll get a check in the mail every time we move at your location. You can also contact me for more information or just to chat at jarod@shaggymoving.com or (919) 645-7159.
Can’t wait to talk to you!
