What is the difference between a referral and an affiliate program?

Referral programs leverage existing customers motivated by loyalty and credits, while affiliate programs use external partners motivated by commissions to promote your product to their audience.

When is the best time to ask a user for a referral?

The skill identifies 'High-Signal Trigger Moments,' such as after a user experiences a core 'aha' moment, hits a milestone, or provides positive support feedback, rather than asking immediately at signup.

Can it help calculate the right incentive size?

Yes, it provides reward sizing rules and ROI modeling based on your Average Lifetime Value (LTV) and current Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) to ensure profitability.

How does this skill help optimize existing programs?

It audits your current metrics against industry benchmarks to identify specific failure points, such as low program awareness, friction in the sharing flow, or poor landing page conversion.
