When to Send It

Trigger

A neutral eligibility rule identifies a customer after a verified completed service event with no unresolved issue or prohibited incentive.

Timing

Send after service completion and quality checks, not during a claim decision, complaint, renewal pressure, or vulnerability event.

Frequency

One request per qualifying service event; suppress on decline or no-contact preference.

Timing note

Coverage, claims, cancellation/nonrenewal, complaints, underwriting, vulnerability, legal issues, and sensitive-data incidents must leave marketing automation for the governed process.

Make This Email Yours

  • Reference a real completed service event without claim details.
  • Use the same eligibility rule for positive and neutral experiences.
  • Never prefill the referred person's information.

Before You Use This Email

Why This Approach Works

Platform Setup Steps

Trigger

A neutral eligibility rule identifies a customer after a verified completed service event with no unresolved issue or prohibited incentive.

Segment

Customers selected by a neutral completed-service rule, excluding complaints, open claims, unresolved service, cancellation/nonrenewal, vulnerability, incentive arrangements, and prior decline.

Delay

Send after service completion and quality checks, not during a claim decision, complaint, renewal pressure, or vulnerability event.

Reply owner: Agency compliance/marketing owner responsible for neutral eligibility, jurisdictional referral rules, privacy, and suppression.

  1. Verify completed service, neutral eligibility, no unresolved issue, jurisdictional rules, and no prohibited reward.
  2. Send the public self-contact route and privacy/no-advantage explanation.
  3. Suppress on decline; route any private service concern to the service owner rather than the referral workflow.

Stop conditions

  • Stop on decline, opt-out, complaint, unresolved service, claim, cancellation/nonrenewal, vulnerability, or staff contact.
  • Stop if any reward, discount, compensation, sweepstakes, gift, or producer-sharing arrangement is proposed.
  • Stop automation if a third party's personal information is submitted without an approved basis and secure route.

Mistakes To Avoid

  • Asking customers to forward a prospect's policy documents

    The prospect has not chosen the agency or authorized disclosure.

    Use instead: Give the prospect a public self-contact link.

  • Promising a premium credit for introductions

    It may be an unlawful rebate or inducement.

    Use instead: Use no incentive unless separately approved for the jurisdiction.

Sequence Placement

Use once after a qualifying service event. A service concern exits to support; a referral prospect contacts the agency independently.
