Leverate’s Refer & Earn: Turn Traders Into Revenue Engines With Faster Growth
Broker customer acquisition costs are breaking budgets, but the solution is already in your platform. Leverate’s updated Refer & Earn program transforms satisfied traders into your most powerful marketing channel, delivering approximately 13% lower customer acquisition cost, 37% higher retention, and a self-sustaining growth engine that compounds monthly.
Accessible for CFD and Prop Firms, the newly updated Refer & Earn program gives brokers what traditional marketing cannot: authentic advocacy from traders who already trust your platform. With personal referral links, real-time earnings dashboards, and automated reward systems built directly into Leverate’s infrastructure, brokers can activate a proven acquisition channel in under five minutes with no development required.
The Referral Revolution: Why Smart Brokers Are Adopting Trader-Powered Growth
The shift is undeniable: brokers are moving acquisition budgets away from expensive paid channels toward organic, trust-based growth strategies. Traditional paid advertising continues to push broker customer acquisition costs higher, while referral programs deliver qualified leads at significantly lower costs with materially better retention and lifetime value.
The distinction matters: while traditional affiliate programs require recruiting, managing, and compensating external partners, refer-a-friend programs transform your existing traders into advocates who recruit from their own networks organically.
Zero-Friction Implementation Meets Sophisticated Power
Leverate re-designed Refer & Earn to deliver enterprise-grade capabilities through a consumer-friendly interface:

From a CRM to Growth Catalyst: The Evolution of Refer & Earn

Enhanced Refer & Earn:
- Automated calculations
- End-to-end transparency
- Scalable, future-ready architecture
Every element lives directly within the Leverate platform, creating a unified experience that drives engagement. Brokers gain the sophistication needed for competitive programs, while traders gain the clarity that drives sharing behaviour.
Traditional Marketing vs. Refer & Earn: The ROI Reality
| Metric | Paid Advertising | Refer & Earn |
| Cost Per Acquisition | ~$400+ | $23.12 lower than baseline |
| Customer Retention | Baseline | +37% |
| Lifetime Value | Baseline | +16% |
| Growth Acceleration | Linear | Compound (network effects) |
| Trust Signal | Low (paid placement) | High (peer recommendation) |
| Ongoing Cost | Continuous spend required | Self-sustaining after launch |
The data reveals why industry leaders are shifting budgets from paid channels to referral infrastructure. Paid advertising delivers diminishing returns as competition intensifies. Referral programs deliver accelerating returns as networks expand.
Immediate Activation, Long-Term Advantage
The newly improved Refer & Earn is available now across Prop and CFD. Brokers activate the feature through the Broker Portal; the entire system syncs automatically.
Launch your referral engine today: Every day without an active referral program means watching competitors build growth advantages that compound on a weekly basis. Early movers gain network density that creates defensible acquisition cost advantages.
