How to Refer
Here are 5 essential steps to referring Step 1: Be open and share The first step in becoming a referral magnet is your willingness to open up and share information about IIN and your experience as a student. It can be as simple as posting on Facebook about what you’re learning in the curriculum or announcing that you got your first client. For example: “I just listened to the most inspiring lecture from Deepak Chopra about (blank). So grateful for IIN’s curriculum. This school is amazing! I can’t wait to be a Health Coach and help others become happier and healthier too.” In addition, tell your friends and family what you’re up to. You never know who you might inspire to consider this education for themselves.
Step 2: Listen & Notice As you begin opening up about Integrative Nutrition and what the course has to offer, take notice of how people respond. You may get comments on your Facebook post or a friend may show a lot of interest in the idea of becoming a Health Coach too. Those are your referral opportunities. If you’re not sure whether someone is a potential referral, here are some key questions to keep in mind when considering if they’re a good fit for IIN: • Are they already involved in a holistic profession and interested in expanding their client offerings? • Do they have bigger health concerns and interested in exploring alternatives to traditional medicine? • Do they have a job they’re not fulfilled by, but truly have a passion for health and wellness? By taking time to listen carefully and respond accordingly, you will be much more likely to refer successfully.

Step 3: Introduce Your Friends When your friends or acquaintances are ready to speak to someone at IIN, introduce them to our IIN Ambassador team via email. You can use one of our email templates or simply CC ambassadors@integrativenutrition. com when writing them an email. A member of our team will answer any remaining questions and connect them to our admissions team when they’re ready to take the next step. We’ll also ensure that you’re listed as that person’s referrer so you are eligible to receive a referral reward if they enroll. If you don’t introduce your friend to us via email, remind them to mention your name as their referrer at the time of enrollment.
Step 4: Use your shareIIN Toolbox Whether you already have a website or blog, or simply want to share IIN via email or social media, we’ve got you covered. From custom banners and links to print materials, there is a plethora of options for making sure you are set up for success! Explore your shareIIN Toolbox for a full range of resources to spread the word online – don’t worry, we’ll show you how!
Step 5: Follow up Sometimes all it takes is a friendly reminder to motivate someone to take action, so make sure to check in with your referrals to see where they are in the decision-making process and offer your support. You can also check the status of your referrals on your Referral Tracker, and reach out to them with the click of a button using our email templates.

How to Keep Those Referrals Coming

Get clear on the basics of referring Watch our Ambassador 101 info session to get more familiar with everything the Ambassador Network has to offer. Spruce up your website Add an Integrative Nutrition Banner to your website or blog, or add a “Become a Health Coach” page where you share your experience about IIN. When someone clicks on your banner and submits their information, they will receive exciting and informative content about our school. They will also be linked as your referral so you’ll get credit if they enroll. Making your IIN experience prominent on your website will ensure your visitors are conscious of where you got your training.

Share Your Ambassador Savings Offer Your friends will be able to save $500 off the cost of enrollment plus an additional $500 off if they pay in full, for a total savings of up to $1000! You can share the value of this offer with anyone at any time via private communications, but please refrain from mentioning the actual savings amount on social media or your website. This cannot be combined with other offers, but know that your friends will always get the highest possible savings happening at the time of enrollment.

Host a workshop Organizing a group event that will not only provide valuable health and nutrition information, but also details about Integrative Nutrition, is the perfect way to seamlessly integrate referring to IIN into your business. Both potential clients and potential referrals are likely to attend this event. So when hosting one, be sure to share how you discovered IIN, how it impacted your life, and how you recommend anyone passionate about wellness explore what the course has to offer.
