Power100 names Get The Referral the #14 Strategic Partner in the nation for 2026, recognizing their leadership in turning word‑of‑mouth into a scalable growth engine for the home improvement industry.

February 2026 – Power100, the only unbiased third‑party platform that ranks the best partners in the home improvement industry using a proprietary 5‑layer ranking system, has named Get The Referral (“GTR”) the #14 Strategic Partner in the Nation for 2026.

Through in‑depth evaluations of more than 3,600 partners serving leading home improvement and home services companies, Power100 identified Get The Referral as a standout technology partner for contractors who want to grow smarter, increase profitability, and build a referral‑driven business that is resilient in a changing economy.​

“Get The Referral is changing the way contractors think about growth by making referrals a core system, not a side activity,” said Greg Cummings, CEO of Power100. “They earned the #14 Strategic Partner position because they consistently help contractors lower their cost per lead, increase conversion with warm referrals, and build healthier, more profitable businesses.”​

The official Get The Referral Strategic Partner page on Power100 highlights how Get The Referral supports contractors with a branded mobile app, referral tools, and CRM integrations that turn happy customers into an always‑on referral engine.

Why Get The Referral Earned the #14 Spot in Power100’s 5‑Layer System

The Power100 5‑layer proprietary ranking system evaluates partners across: customer experience, innovation, operational excellence, sales and marketing impact, and leadership plus financial health.​

In this framework, Get The Referral distinguished itself in several key areas:

• Customer experience and engagement: Contractors using Get The Referral keep homeowners informed with project updates, notifications, and in‑app communication, which strengthens trust and increases the likelihood of referrals.
• Innovation and technology fit: The Get The Referral platform is purpose‑built for home improvement contractors, combining referral management, branded apps, and integrations in a way that reflects how real teams work in the field.​
• Operational efficiency: By centralizing referrals, rewards, and communication, Get The Referral helps eliminate manual spreadsheets, scattered text messages, and “forgotten” referrals, improving process consistency.​
• Revenue and ROI impact: As discussed in Greg Cummings’ featured interview with Jamey Vumback, companies using Get The Referral are able to lower lead costs, support higher close rates, and build more resilient pipelines based on word‑of‑mouth rather than volatile paid channels.
• Leadership, culture, and vision: Jamey Vumback and the leadership team at Get The Referral emphasize company culture, customer psychology, and long‑term innovation, aligning strongly with Power100’s standards for strategic partners.

“Our 5‑layer system is designed to cut through the noise and identify partners that actually help contractors win in the real world,” added Greg Cummings. “Get The Referral didn’t just score well in one category; they showed strength across innovation, execution, and leadership – that’s what it takes to be a Power100 Strategic Partner.”

The Get The Referral Story: From Missed Opportunities to a Referral Engine

Get The Referral was founded by Jamey Vumback after years in the home improvement and solar space, where he saw a pattern: contractors were doing great work, but were failing to capture the full value of satisfied customers. Jobs would end with goodwill and positive feedback, yet referrals were informal, inconsistent, and almost impossible to track.

In Greg Cummings’ featured interview, Jamey Vumback explained how the idea behind Get The Referral was to bridge three gaps at once: communication during the project, engagement after completion, and a simple, rewarding way for customers to refer friends and family.

“We saw contractors spending more and more on leads while ignoring the most powerful asset they already had – their happy customers,” said Jamey Vumback, CEO and Founder of Get The Referral. “Get The Referral was built to turn every great customer experience into a repeatable system for referrals, tracking, and rewards – not just a hope and a handshake.”

Over time, Get The Referral evolved from a simple referral app into a full ecosystem for contractors, combining referral workflows, branded customer apps, field sales tools, and integrations with existing CRMs. The company continues to innovate based on customer feedback, investing in features that make it easier for sales reps, office teams, and customers to stay aligned.

“The future of GTR is about delivering an end‑to‑end solution for contractors – from first contact to final payment and every referral that comes after,” added Jamey Vumback.​​

How Get The Referral Transforms Home Improvement Businesses

The Get The Referral platform is built specifically for home improvement companies – roofers, solar providers, remodelers, window and door specialists, and other contractors – who rely heavily on trust, reputation, and word‑of‑mouth.

Key components of the Get The Referral solution include:

• A branded referral app that allows contractors to launch a mobile app in their own name, where customers can track projects, submit referrals, and access rewards.
• A sales rep app that enables field teams to invite customers to the program, capture referrals on site, and nurture advocate relationships from their phones.
• Referral Boost tools that automate outreach campaigns, reminders, and promotions so customers are prompted to refer at key moments.
• The GTR Wallet, which tracks and delivers referral rewards, making payouts fast, transparent, and easy to manage.
• An admin dashboard that gives owners and managers clear visibility into who is referring, which reps are driving activity, and how referral revenue compares to other lead sources.

“Contractors don’t need more software; they need tools that actually get used in the field and by their customers,” said Cameron Gallanosa, Senior Account Executive at Get The Referral. “Our platform is simple to adopt for sales reps, office staff, and homeowners, which is why our customers see real adoption instead of another login that gets ignored.”​

As highlighted in the Best Referral Software for Roofing Companies article, many roofing and exterior contractors now treat Get The Referral as a primary growth channel – not just a side program – because referrals consistently close at higher rates and with lower acquisition costs.

“Referrals are still the highest‑converting, most profitable leads in our space,” noted Charlene Moran, Sr. Director of Sales, Customer Success, and People Operations at Get The Referral. “Our job is to help contractors build a real system around that, so they can see every referral, reward every advocate, and forecast growth with confidence.”

Built for the Field: Integrations and the Leap Partnership

A core strength of Get The Referral is its ability to integrate with the tools contractors already use, including CRMs and sales platforms. Through its integrations, Get The Referral can sync lead and project data with systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, and other industry‑specific solutions, reducing manual data entry and eliminating blind spots in the customer journey.

One of the most notable collaborations is the partnership between Get The Referral and Leap, highlighted in the GTR + Leap feature. Leap helps contractors streamline estimates, digital contracts, e‑signatures, and payments, while Get The Referral turns those successful projects into new referral opportunities.

“Leap helps you close; GTR helps you grow,” explained Jamey Vumback in the Leap partnership article. “When both tools work together, contractors don’t just sell jobs, they build a system that scales with their business instead of burning them out.”

From a contractor’s perspective, the workflow looks like this:

• A homeowner connects with a contractor, often through a referral already facilitated by Get The Referral.​
• Leap enables the sales rep to present a professional estimate, secure a signed contract, and collect payment digitally.
• Once the project is complete and the customer is delighted, Get The Referral keeps that customer engaged and incentivized to refer friends, neighbors, and family into the pipeline.

“The companies that win in this market are the ones that pair strong close‑rate tools with strong referral engines,” said Ethan Stephens, Executive Director of Business Development at Get The Referral. “When your CRM, your sales tools, and your referral app speak the same language, you get better data, better decisions, and better margins.”​

Leading Through a Changing Economy

In the PowerChat conversation featuring Greg Cummings, Jamey Vumback, and Scott Berman of Florida Window and Door, the group discussed how economic changes are reshaping lead generation and profitability across the home improvement sector.​

As lead costs rise and competition intensifies, the panel emphasized that word‑of‑mouth remains the most effective and durable source of new business, especially for companies with strong processes and healthy balance sheets.​

“The days of cheap, endless leads are gone – contractors need to protect their margins and build deeper relationships with customers if they want to thrive,” said Jamey Vumback during the PowerChat. “Get The Referral helps them do exactly that by turning every satisfied homeowner into a tracked, nurtured, and rewarded advocate.”​

“We’re seeing that the best‑run companies are doubling down on referrals, process discipline, and technology that actually gets used,” added Greg Cummings. “That is why Get The Referral is such an important Strategic Partner in the Power100 ecosystem – they help create sustainable growth, not just spikes in volume.”
