How a One-Man Solar Company Scaled Smarter with GTR’s Referral & Project Management Tools

When you're running a home services business solo—or even with a small crew—every tool you use has to pull serious weight. Just ask Keith Graves, owner of KG Solar Solutions in California. Keith runs a successful one-man solar shop and, like many in the industry, he’s hands-on with every job and every customer. So when he found himself juggling a growing customer list and the opportunity to tap into a high-paying energy storage rebate program, he knew he needed something more powerful.

That’s when he turned to Get The Referral (GTR)—and it changed everything.

“So many things came together that made this a no-brainer,” Keith said.

At first, Keith wasn’t sure GTR was a fit for a small operation. But once he realized he could use the platform to not only collect referrals but also manage communication and project stages with his 200+ customers, it became a must-have.

“The project management piece was probably just as important for me as the referral base,” Keith explained. “I’m not gonna sell this deal and leave. I’m going to be with them from start to finish.”

With GTR, Keith spends less time on the phone and more time being proactive with customers. The dashboard keeps him organized, on schedule, and ensures Advocates get paid quickly and correctly.

“It’s like having an assistant,” he said. “I started seeing the value after just a couple of orders.”

In fact, Keith saw so much value, he invested in a fully customized version of the app within just a few weeks of signing up.

“Chad, my GTR Account Manager, has been like a co-champion. He was there every week helping me build this.”

For home service pros looking to scale smart, not just big, GTR offers the tools to work like a larger company while keeping your personal touch.
