What's inside

Five plays that compound. Three trigger types. One operating system for turning happy customers into your highest-converting demand channel.

1

The Name Drop

Use pre-approved champions (case studies, G2, testimonials) to open doors to 20-30 network lookalikes per champion with a specific, credible opener.

2

The Structured Warm Intro

Specific, high-conviction ask at renewal or post-win. Not "anyone come to mind?" but "would you intro me to X?" Ask across every functional layer.

3

The Perpetual Content Asset

Turn the customer story into a webinar, panel, or case study. Generates opportunities on autopilot for 12-24 months across every channel.

4

The Job Change Play

Any happy user changes jobs — EB, champion, power user, admin — trigger a 48-hour outreach at the new company. Prior success = new-company credibility.

5

The In-Product Ask

Boomerang MCP-connected agent asks in-app at peak moments (upsell, high NPS, 5-star ticket resolution). Auto-dedup + smart alternate routing.

The market has already moved.

Growth from existing customers is now the #1 CSO priority. Referred customers are more valuable and stay longer. But most companies still activate less than half their advocate base.

Every happy customer → 3 more customers.
