referrals
Sent to specialists
Referrals are recommendations directing someone to a person, service, or resource.
A doctor gives a referral to a specialist; a satisfied customer provides referrals to a business.
In many contexts, referrals imply a network of trust: We get most of our clients through referrals.
Referral programs reward people for bringing in new customers or users.
