The Referral Race


Refer an agency. Earn credit.

We all have experienced the power of referrals. HawkSoft receives our fair share from our happy customers who talk to other independent agents. We want to reward them in a big way for their commitment to spreading the word about our family of HawkSoft people and products.


Ready. Set. Go!

It’s a fun (and friendly) competition to reward agents that refer HawkSoft to their peers. Each referral that signs with HawkSoft gives your agency a guaranteed reward as well as puts you (the referrer) in the running for the grand prize.

Game On!

$100, $500, $1,000 in agent prizes! No caps on referrals so the potential is unlimited.

Make enough referrals and they could pay for your agency's monthly HawkSoft fees!

Two Ways to Win

Your Agency



Referral icon | HawkSoft

Earn Credit

The referring agency is awarded a one-time credit equal to the new (referred) agency’s HawkSoft monthly maintenance fees*. This credit will be issued on your next scheduled invoice after the referred agency has gone live with HawkSoft.


Example: You referred a 5-user agency. The agency you referred signs up with HawkSoft. You will receive a one-time credit equal to the 5-user monthly maintenance fee of the agency that you referred.


To be fair, agencies referred to HawkSoft that do not become paying customers do not count as a referral. (We still appreciate the referral attempt!)


*Excludes HawkSoft Online hosting fees

You, the Referring Agent
