Understanding the Results

The Standardized Referral Ratio measures how effectively your referral program is performing relative to your market position. A ratio greater than 100% indicates your program is outperforming expectations, while less than 100% suggests room for improvement.

Practical Applications

  • Identify which referral strategies are most effective
  • Determine if your referral incentives are appropriately aligned with market share
  • Track performance over time to measure program improvements
  • Compare referral performance across different business segments

Example Scenario

Suppose your business has generated 150 referrals, holds a 5% market share, and the total market size is 3,000 customers:

Standardized Referral Ratio = (150 / (5 × 3,000)) × 100 = (150 / 15,000) × 100 = 1.0%

This means your referral program is performing exactly as expected based on your market position.
