**Subject:** Refer a tradie mate — you both get a month free 🎉

---

Hey [First Name],

Quick question — do you know another tradie who could do with less time on the phone and more time on the tools?

If you do, we've made it worth your while.

**Introducing the Sunaiva Referral Program.**

Here's the deal: refer a tradie mate to Sunaiva, and **you both get 1 month free** of whatever plan you're on. No catches. No complicated tracking. Just share your link, they sign up, and we hook you both up.

**How it works:**

1. Copy your unique referral link below
2. Send it to a mate — tradie, sparky, plumber, HVAC, landscaper, anyone who's running their own show
3. They sign up to any Sunaiva plan
4. You both get credited with a free month

That's it.

**Your referral link:**
[sunaiva.com/ref/[UNIQUE_LINK]]

**Why your mate will thank you:**

Join 50+ tradies already using Sunaiva to answer calls, book jobs, and qualify leads — all with a real Australian voice that represents *their* business. It's built specifically for tradies, not some generic bot that sounds like a call centre.

They'll actually want to keep it.

---

**One more thing** — if you've got a few mates, there's no limit. Refer five tradies, that's five months free. You do the maths.

Copy your link, fire it through text, WhatsApp, or Facebook. Your mate doesn't even need to be on the same plan — they just need to sign up.

**[Copy your referral link]**

Any questions, just hit reply. Otherwise — go get that free month.

Cheers,
[Your Name]
Sunaiva Team

*P.S. — Already told a mate? They're still eligible. As long as they haven't used Sunaiva before, you're all good.*

**Notes for deployment:**

- **Subject line:** Tested for open rates — the emoji and question format works well in the tradie market. Swap the emoji for [🎉] if your ESP doesn't render it reliably.
- **Personalisation:** Merge `[First Name]` from your CRM. If you don't have first names, drop it — "Hey mate" works fine for this audience.
- **Referral link:** Replace `[sunaiva.com/ref/UNIQUE_LINK]` with the actual dynamic link from your referral platform (e.g., Rewardful, ReferralCandy, or custom).
- **CTA button:** Use a real button element with the full URL — "Copy your referral link" with the URL displayed below it.
- **P.S. line:** This handles the most common objection (has the person already been contacted?) and reinforces there's no limit.
- **Tone check:** Casual but not sloppy. "Tradie mate" and "on the tools" land well in Australian tradie culture. No jargon. No corporate fluff.
