Who this template is for

Refer a Friend Form is built for sales teams, agencies and independent consultants who need to qualify inbound demand before anyone spends time on a call.

  • Sales teams, agencies and independent consultants working in lead generation & sales.
  • Teams who need to qualify inbound demand before anyone spends time on a call without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing unqualified enquiries clogging the pipeline with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are prospects arriving from ads, search and referrals — the form asks them 9 questions across 1 screen.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of unqualified enquiries clogging the pipeline and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 5 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

  • Features advanced show logic: if “How would you like your reward, if you qualify?” is Cash payout, the form dynamically exposes “Payout email (PayPal or similar)”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “How would you like your reward, if you qualify?” is Account credit, the form dynamically exposes “Your account email”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

What if the hidden referrer ID is missing?

Fall back to the free-text 'Referred by' field and confirm manually — this happens when a link is copied without its parameters.

Can I offer more than one reward tier?

Yes, add extra choices to the reward dropdown and a matching follow-up field for each, the same way cash and credit are handled.

Does the friend need to know they're being referred?

No, though setting the expectation on the confirmation screen reduces confusion if their friend later asks about a reward.

How is this different from the Giveaway Entry Form?

A giveaway is a one-off contest draw; this is an ongoing two-sided reward loop tied to an actual referral relationship.
