Prompt 38 Referral Thank-You Note

Expected Outcome

A thank-you that deepens the relationship and makes them want to refer you again.

The Prompt
Using the Studio Voice Blueprint and Linguistic Filter from Chapter 1, a past client just referred a new couple to me.

- My past client (referrer): [NAME]
- The couple they referred: [NAMES — if known]
- How they referred me: [E.G., "tagged me in an Instagram story" / "forwarded my inquiry email"]
- The referred couple's wedding date: [DATE IF KNOWN — or "date TBD"]

Write a genuine, heartfelt thank-you note that:
- Thanks them by name for the specific referral
- Describes what the referral means emotionally
- Reassures them their friend is in good hands
- Reinforces the relationship
- Keeps it short

Apply the Linguistic Filter. Do NOT offer a discount or referral incentive. Do NOT make it about getting more referrals. 75 words max.
