$500 Shopping Spree! Monthly Gift Cards! Check out our Referral Program!

Working by Referral “Spread the Word” Referral Program

Your referrals mean the world to us. We work hard to earn each referral with great service every day. We understand that the kind of people we want to work with in the future are people just like you. As our way of saying “Thank You” for this business, we have our “Spread the Word” referral program. This is our way to say thanks for all the referrals you’ve trusted us with over the years.

How it works: Refer someone to CHET HILL INSURANCE and get something back!

For every referral, you get:

A $5 Starbucks Gift Card! What qualifies as a referral? A referral is when we get a call for a quote from someone say-ing you referred them to us—that’s it!

But, there’s more - You will also be entered into our monthly and annual drawings for prizes.

Each month we will draw a name from everyone who re-ferred someone to us that month for a $50 gift card!

Plus, we will give $10 to Fron-tier Missions for each referral during October, November, and December.

Our annual drawing: each referral you’ve given through the year equals one entry for our drawing during the 2nd week of December. It’s your chance to win a $500 gift card right before Christmas! The person you refer to us doesn’t have to purchase a policy from us for your referral to count. So, give it a try!

Note: You do not have to be a client of ours to refer someone to us and be entered in our drawings to win prizes. Every referral counts!
