What Smart Owners Are Doing to Stay Top of Mind with Referral Partners

(And You’re Not)

Let’s face it—marketing your restoration business takes time, energy, and focus.

You know you should be reaching out to insurance agents, property managers, adjusters, home inspectors, roofers, and others who could send you business. But how often do you actually sit down to write an email? If you’re like most restoration business owners, the answer is “almost never.”

The Problem

  • You’re juggling job sites, customer calls, and managing your team.

  • Your business development manager (BDM), if you have one, is out making in-person connections (where they make the biggest impact), not sitting at a desk crafting emails.

  • And let’s be honest—email marketing sounds outdated, right? Who even reads emails anymore?

But Here’s the Truth:

Email Is Far From Dead. It’s Your Secret Weapon for More Referrals.

Think about this:

  • Email delivers an average ROI of $36 for every $1 spent.

  • Unlike social media or cold calls, it’s direct, personal, and scalable.

  • And most importantly, it keeps you top of mind with the people who can send you jobs when it matters most.

When an insurance agent needs a restoration company, or a roofer is asked if they “know anyone,” who are they going to recommend? 

The company that’s been emailing them consistently. 

Bottom line: Consistent communication = more referrals.  

The Real Reason Most Restoration Companies Don’t Use Email

1. Finding the Right Contacts Takes Time.

  • Imagine sourcing 5,000 or 10,000 email addresses for insurance agents, adjusters, or other referral partners. That’s hours—or even weeks—of data mining.

  • It’s tedious, detail-oriented work, and if you don’t do it right, you risk wasting time and money emailing the wrong people.

2. Sending Mass Emails Is Harder Than You Think.

  • You can’t just blast out hundreds of emails from your Gmail inbox.

  • Most email providers will flag your account for spamming or block you altogether.

  • To do it right, you need specialized tools, expertise, and compliance with laws like CAN-SPAM to ensure your emails land in inboxes—not spam folders.

3. Writing Engaging Emails Isn’t Easy.

  • What do you say to insurance agents to make them pay attention?

  • How do you keep it professional without sounding boring?

  • This is where most people give up.

Hi there,

I’m Katie Stansberry, and along with my husband, Nate, we’re local restoration business owners just like you.

We know how tough it is to run a restoration company—managing job sites, taking care of customers, and building relationships with referral partners—all while trying to find time for marketing.

We get it because we’ve lived it.

We’ve struggled with the same challenges:

How do we stay top of mind with insurance agents, adjusters, and other referral partners?

How do we find time to write emails, gather contacts, and send them consistently?

And, most importantly, how do we do it in a way that actually works?

That’s why we created Referral Engine: to solve a problem we know firsthand.

What Makes Us Different?

Other marketing services don’t truly understand the restoration industry. They don’t know what drives referrals or how to craft messages that resonate with the people we rely on most—insurance agents, adjusters, roofers, and others.

But we do.

As restoration business owners ourselves, we understand the nuances of the industry. We know what our referral partners care about, and we’ve designed this service to speak directly to them.

Every email we write is tailored to build trust, provide value, and remind your network that you’re the company they should call.

This isn’t just email marketing—it’s email marketing built specifically for restoration businesses.

We created Referral Engine because we wanted a solution that worked for us—and now, we’re offering it to you. Let us take email marketing off your plate so you can focus on growing your business.

Sincerely,

Katie Stansberry

How Many Emails Do We Send Each Month?

We send 2 emails per month—and there’s a very good reason for this. 

This frequency strikes the perfect balance between consistency and engagement. Sending emails too often can annoy your contacts and lead to unsubscribes, while sending too infrequently risks them forgetting about you entirely.

With two well-timed emails each month, you stay on their radar without overloading their inboxes. But here’s the real difference: our emails aren’t just about you.

What Makes Our Referral Engine Emails Different?

  • Genuinely Useful Content: Instead of constantly hammering your contacts with “Look at us! Here’s what we do!”, our emails provide real value.

  • Tips for handling claims.

  • Seasonal advice for all homeowners

  • Helpful resources tailored to insurance agents, adjusters, roofers, and others.

  • Engaging and Relevant: We craft content that your referral partners actually want to read, building trust while keeping your company in mind.

  • Subtle Reminders: While providing value, we subtly remind them that you’re the reliable restoration company they can count on when the need arises.

Why This Works

People don’t want to feel “sold to” all the time, but they do want useful and actionable information. By focusing on their needs, we help you build stronger relationships that lead to referrals. 

So, with 2 thoughtful and valuable emails per month, you’ll stay top of mind and respected by the people who can send you business.

What Do Our Emails Look Like?

When you work with us, your emails are more than just words on a screen—they’re professionally crafted, visually engaging, and designed to make a lasting impression on your referral partners.

Here’s what you can expect from every email we send:

  • Polished Design: Clean layouts that look great on both desktop and mobile.

  • Engaging Content: Helpful tips, relevant information, and calls-to-action that keep your contacts interested.

  • Personalized Touch: Your company name and logo prominently featured, so you’re always top of mind.

  • Compliance Guaranteed: Every email is CAN-SPAM compliant, so you never have to worry about legal issues.

Here’s a sneak peek of what one of our emails might look like:

Results Speak Louder Than Words

— Laurie P., Owner of Disaster Recovery Inc

“We have been quite happy with the services. Our little company finished out the year strong and a few times we even had to turn away some work because we just didn't have the capacity to take more on. So thank you!”

— John R., Founder of Restoration Masters

“We’ve been using this service for three months, and the increase in referrals has been noticeable. The emails are professional, and they make us look polished and reliable to our partners!”

— Sarah M., Owner of Flood Recovery Pros

“I never realized how much time I was wasting trying to do this myself. These guys made it simple, and now I don’t have to think about it—it just works.”

Still on the Fence?

Let’s Tackle the Common Objections Head-On.

“I don’t think email works anymore.” 

We hear this one a lot, but here’s the truth:

  • Email is still the #1 digital communication tool. Over 90% of professionals check their email daily, making it a far more reliable way to reach referral partners than social media, which they might scroll through casually (or not at all).

  • Social platforms come and go—email is here to stay. And the best part? You don’t have to worry about an algorithm burying your message.

“I don’t have time for this.” 

That’s the whole point! Our service is designed to take the work off your plate.

  • You’re busy running a business, managing teams, and building relationships face-to-face—those are high-value activities that no one else can do for you.

  • With us, you don’t need to spend hours sourcing contacts, writing emails, or figuring out how to send them. We handle everything so you can focus on what you do best.

“I already send emails sometimes.”

Here’s the difference: consistency and professionalism.

  • Sending an email every now and then isn’t enough to stay top of mind. Relationships are built with regular, thoughtful communication—not one-off messages.

  • And let’s be honest: are the emails you’re sending professionally designed and optimized for engagement? That’s where we shine.

“I’m worried about wasting money.” 

Let’s break it down:

  • The cost of this service – $399/month – is less than one missed referral per month. If just one insurance agent sends you one job that converts, you’ve already covered your investment for the year.

  • Plus, think about the time you’ll save by letting us handle this for you—time you can use to focus on growing your business.

“I’m not sure my referral partners will respond.”

They might not respond to every email, but that’s okay.

  • The goal is to keep your name in front of them consistently, so when they need to refer a restoration company, you’re the first one they think of.

  • Think of email as planting seeds—some will grow immediately, and others will sprout later. But if you never plant the seeds, you’ll never see the results.
