Vumback
CEO & Founder, Get The Referral (GTR)
Most home service businesses don't have a lead problem — they have a follow-through problem. The best contractors I know don't chase leads. They attract them through consistent referrals. They've built systems that reward clients and keep the pipeline warm year-round.
The Expert Profile
Why Jamey Vumback
Why Jamey Vumback
Is The Expert
Jamey Vumback is the CEO and Founder of Get The Referral (GTR), the leading app-based SaaS referral platform for home service businesses. Founded in August 2014, GTR has grown to serve over 550 customers worldwide, helping home service companies generate hundreds of millions in referred revenue by turning satisfied customers into loyal advocates through custom branded referral apps, automated rewards, and data-driven engagement tools.
GTR's platform is purpose-built for the home services industry, serving residential roofing, home remodeling, windows and doors, residential solar, and pool and spa companies. The platform combines five core components — a branded customer app, a sales rep app, a GTR Wallet for automated digital rewards, an admin dashboard with full analytics, and CRM integrations — into what GTR calls the Referral Ecosystem. This system transforms referrals from an inconsistent, manual process into a predictable, scalable sales channel. Referred customers convert 30% higher than leads from other marketing channels and have a 37% higher retention rate.
Jamey's entrepreneurial journey started with firsthand experience in the home services industry. Before founding GTR, he was a Principal and Partner at Valley Unique / RE)POWER Fresno (2008–2017), where he co-owned a solar company. He built the GTR app and referral system out of a need for his own business — and it worked so well that he took his referral rate from 20–30% to 70–80%. That success led him to productize the solution and launch GTR as a standalone company.
Prior to his entrepreneurial career, Jamey served as Regional Vice President at AT&T Advertising & Publishing (2005–2008), where he spent over a decade in leadership roles building expertise in sales, advertising, and business development. That corporate foundation, combined with his hands-on experience as a business owner, gives him a unique perspective on both enterprise-scale sales strategy and the day-to-day realities of running a home services company.
Jamey is a Greg Cummings mutual connection on LinkedIn and an active voice in the home improvement technology community. GTR has been featured at the American Contractor Show tech showcase and maintains strategic integrations with platforms like CompanyCam, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Leap. He is based in San Diego, California.
