What is TradeEngage?
TradeEngage is a referral management and payments platform built exclusively for the trades. It connects you with other Authority Brands franchisees and complementary home service companies in your market so you can send and receive referrals from their teams and customers.
Turn Missed Jobs Into Revenue
Jobs you can't take on become a revenue stream — routed instantly to the right partner in your network.
Fill Your Pipeline With Quality Leads
High-quality leads at a fraction of the cost of Google or other paid channels — sourced from trusted partners.
Built for the Trades
Designed specifically for home service franchises — integrates directly with ServiceTitan and Dash, no extra tools needed.
How Do B2B Referrals Work?
Your techs and CSRs identify cross-trade needs every day. Now they get paid for it.
Refer in 30s or Less
Your tech or CSR identifies a cross-trade need on a service call — a panel upgrade, a water heater, a leaky pipe — and submits the referral in 30 seconds or less from the mobile app or Chrome Extension.
Routes Directly to the Referral Partner's ServiceTitan or DASH
The referral routes automatically into the partner's ServiceTitan — no lost leads, no manual entry.
Tech Gets Paid Instantly
When the job closes, the tech gets paid instantly to their virtual wallet. No waiting, no chasing.
Real Example: A One Hour tech is on an HVAC install and the homeowner needs a breaker panel upgrade. They open the TradeEngage app and refer Mister Sparky in under 30 seconds. The referral routes automatically to the nearest Mister Sparky location — right into their ServiceTitan — and the One Hour tech gets paid instantly.
How Do Customer Referrals Work?
Turn every completed job into a lead source — automatically.
Send SMS/ Emails After Every Job
Your customer receives a branded text message or email after a completed job with your company's unique affiliate link.
Customer Shares with their Network
They share the link with friends or post on social media — connecting their network to your company instantly.
Referral Connects to Your Business
The referral is dropped into your ServiceTitan or DASH for your CSRs to follow up asap.
Customer Earns Automatically
When the job is booked, the customer gets paid automatically based on your settings. Rewards are redeemed for a gift card or direct deposit.
Real Example: After a completed job, the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing homeowner receives a text message with a referral link they can share with family, friends, or post on social media. When a referral converts, the homeowner gets paid automatically — turning your happy customers into an ongoing lead source.
Why Sign Up?
2% Average Customer Acquisition Cost

Up to 20% Royalty Credit on Cross-Brand Referrals
When you refer a job to another Authority Brands franchise owner — and they cloe the job — you will receive a credit on that royalty, applied against your own royalty obligations.
Customer Referral Solution
Your customers get a link that connects them, your business, and every Authority Brands partner in the area. They share on social media, text to friends, or post in community groups — and they get paid when those referrals convert.
