The Core Insight
Trust already exists around your business. The problem is that trust stays in conversations, texts, and memory — and fades before it becomes a customer. The fix isn't generating more trust. It's giving the trust you've already earned a clear path back to you.
"Referrals aren't random. They're predictable, repeatable, and scalable — when supported by the right system."
— John D. Proffitt, Founder of Proffitt Advisory
Your customers talk about you. Neighbors recommend you. The trust is real — and it's already out there working on your behalf.
Without infrastructure, word-of-mouth dies in the gap between "I know a great guy" and an actual phone call.
The right system gives every referral a clear path. More of the trust you've earned actually reaches you.
What We Do
Proffitt Advisory works with service businesses at every stage — from diagnosing what's slowing referrals down, to building the systems that make them compound.
A structured diagnostic across all five components of your referral system — pinpointing exactly where trust is getting lost before it becomes a customer.
We build the ask protocols, tracking systems, partner networks, and team scripts that make word-of-mouth reliable and repeatable.
Your team learns when to ask, how to ask, and what to say — with role-specific scripts, practice protocols, and real accountability built in.
Referral systems need maintenance. We track metrics, identify friction, and keep the system compounding over time.

When manual systems hit their ceiling, TryMyPro gives your referral network the infrastructure to compound automatically — $200/month flat.
The Book
An 11-chapter field guide on referral infrastructure for service businesses. Practical, direct, and built for operators — not marketers. By the time you finish it, you'll know exactly which part of your referral system is weakest, and what to do about it.

We start with a structured audit of all five components. Most businesses already have some of what they need — we find the gaps before we start building.
Referral systems only work when they match the actual dynamics of a business — its team, its customer mix, its service cadence. We don't apply templates.
We're not a marketing agency. We build systems for the business that's already doing the work — systems that make referrals reliable, trackable, and compounding.
We believe in proving the system works manually before automating it. Once solid, TryMyPro scales what you've built without changing what's working.
