Referral Program

Refer a Business. Earn Up to $1,500.

If you know a business that is frustrated with its IT support, growing past what one IT person can handle, or opening a new office, introduce us. If they sign a managed services agreement with Urban IT, we will thank you with a gift card, a credit on your bill, or a donation to the charity of your choice.

Your Thank You, Your Choice

How It Works

Three Steps, and We Do Most of the Work

1

Tell us who to contact

Fill out the short form below with your contact information and theirs. Add any context that will help us start the right conversation.

2

We reach out personally

A member of our team contacts them directly, mentions that you referred them, and learns what is going on with their IT. There is no pressure and no sales script.

3

You get rewarded

If they sign a managed services agreement and pay their first month, we send your reward. The amount depends on the size of their monthly agreement.

Not sure which tier a business would fall into? You do not need to know. Refer them, and we will let you know which tier applies once they sign. Bill credits are available to current Urban IT clients.

Who to Refer

Know a Business in One of These Situations?

The best referrals are businesses that rely on their technology every day but do not have the right support behind it. Here are the situations we hear about most.

Unhappy with their current IT provider

Slow responses, the same problems coming back, or an IT company that only shows up when something is already broken.

Relying on one IT person

A single in-house IT employee who is stretched thin, or who would leave the business stuck if they were out. Our Co-Managed IT service is built for this.

Opening an office or starting a business

A new location, a move, or a new firm that needs computers, networking, email, and phones set up correctly from day one.

Facing a compliance or insurance requirement

A HIPAA review, a client security questionnaire, or a cyber insurance application asking questions nobody in the office can answer. See IT Compliance.

Recovering from a security scare

A phishing email that worked, a compromised mailbox, or ransomware that hit a neighbor and made them nervous. See Cybersecurity.

An office manager doing IT on the side

The person who resets passwords, calls the internet provider, and orders laptops in addition to their actual job.

We work with law firms, CPA firms, medical practices, escrow and real estate offices, nonprofits, and other professional services businesses across Ventura County and greater Los Angeles. See the industries we serve

After You Refer

Your Name Is on the Introduction, So We Treat It That Way

Referring someone puts your reputation on the line. We take that seriously. Every referral is handled by a member of our management team, not passed to a call center.

  • We contact your referral personally by phone or email
  • We let them know you sent us, unless you ask us not to
  • We start by listening, not by pitching a plan
  • If we are not the right fit for them, we tell them so
  • We keep you updated on whether they become a client

FAQ

Referral Program Questions

Anyone with a business relationship with the company they are referring, including current clients, accountants, attorneys, vendors, and other professionals. You do not need to be an Urban IT client to participate.

You can earn $500, $1,000, or $1,500 per referral. The amount depends on the referred client’s monthly managed services agreement: $1,000 or more earns $500, $2,500 or more earns $1,000, and $4,000 or more earns $1,500.

Your reward is issued after the business you referred signs a managed services agreement and pays its first month. We will contact you to confirm how you would like to receive it.

You can choose a gift card, a credit on your next Urban IT invoice, or a donation to a charity of your choice. Invoice credits are available to current Urban IT clients.

Yes. A business that signs a Co-Managed IT agreement qualifies for a reward. We will confirm the reward amount with you once their agreement is signed.

Yes, unless you ask us not to. You can choose that option on the form. Most people find that mentioning a mutual contact makes the first conversation easier.

We will tell them honestly and, when we can, point them toward a better option. Your referral still helps us, and there is no penalty to you.

No. You can refer as many businesses as you like, and each one that signs a qualifying agreement earns its own reward.
