2. Who is this for?

This is probably the most useful for new or growing tech startups and SaaS companies (both venture-funded and bootstrapped). Basically any business that wants to stay on top of their cash and burn rate.

It's a simple FP&A tool at the end of the day.

3. Have a fixed banner that follows the user as they scroll the page to reassure them they're redeeming through a referral link. If they click on it, take them to your signup page where the referral attribution takes place.

2. Personalize the landing page headline. Include the name of the referrer in order to leverage social credibility and make a warm inviting experience. And make sure to mention the signup incentive (e.g, $10 signup bonus).

1. Use your existing homepage. There's a ton of info on here that is useful to new visitors. People are going to want to learn more about what you do before giving you their email address.

I wasn't happy with other tools and spreadsheet templates out there. But I found it was tough to simply see a scenario if we spent money on a project or new hire.

Let me know what you think.
