Free software for your kind of business
Pick your business type and you'll start with a service menu built for it.
“I’ve got a person for you.” Get paid for it.
Your clients ask you for recommendations all the time. On the TotalPro360 network, when your stylist sends a client to a massage therapist on the network and that appointment is booked and paid, your business earns a share of the network fee. The business that receives the referral pays nothing for the lead itself, only a network fee after the job is booked and paid. How the referral network works · Our sister network for home services.
