Our Story

Born in a Barbershop.
Built for Everyone.

RECOMMENDii started with a simple idea: the best business referrals happen in conversation. A client sits down, mentions they need a plumber, a good restaurant, a reliable accountant, and a trusted person tells them exactly who to call. No searching. No guessing. Just trust.

"I was already recommending businesses to my clients every single day. I just needed a way to make it organised, effortless, and worth my time." The Barber Who Started It All

A Barber's Vision

The idea for RECOMMENDii came from a barber who noticed something happening in his chair every day. Clients would ask him for recommendations. Someone they trusted, someone they saw regularly, someone who knew their community. Who is the best electrician in town? Where should I take my wife for dinner? Know anyone who does good bookkeeping?

He was already doing the work of a recommender. But there was no easy way to share the information, no record of who he had pointed people toward, and no recognition for the referrals that turned into real business.

He wanted something simple. A place where he could keep track of every business he trusted, share them right away with anyone who asked, and earn a small income from the connections he was already making naturally. Without raising his prices, without changing how he worked, and without needing to be a tech expert to use it.

As RECOMMENDii came together, it became clear the idea was bigger than one barbershop. Anyone with a loyal following or a trusted place in their community could do the same thing. Hair stylists, personal trainers, real estate agents, mechanics, teachers, coaches. Anyone whose clients ask them "do you know a good...?"


How RECOMMENDii Works

RECOMMENDii connects two groups of people: RECOMMENDers, trusted people who recommend businesses they believe in, and RECOMMENDii businesses, companies that want to grow through the power of personal recommendation rather than paid advertising.

1
A Business Creates a Listing
Any business can join RECOMMENDii, create a profile, and open themselves up to recommendments. Their listing includes their services, contact details, and the story of what makes them worth recommending.
2
A RECOMMENDer Connects
RECOMMENDers browse businesses and send connection requests to the ones they genuinely believe in. Both sides must agree. A RECOMMENDer can only recommend a business they have chosen to stand behind, and a business can decline any connection that is not the right fit.
3
The Business Activates the Endorsement
Once a connection is accepted, the business pays just $50 for 30 days of endorsement, with a 180 day minimum to get started. No monthly subscriptions, no per-click fees, no surprises.
4
The RECOMMENDer Earns
When a business activates a recommendation, the RECOMMENDer earns a percentage of that payment. The more businesses they recommend, the higher their payout tier, and the more they earn from every connection.
5
Clients Find Businesses Through People They Trust
Anyone looking for a business can search RECOMMENDii by location or browse a RECOMMENDer's profile to see every business they personally stand behind. No anonymous reviews. No star ratings from strangers. Just a recommendation from someone you already know and trust.

The More You Recommend, The More You Earn

RECOMMENDer payouts are tiered. As you build more active recommendations, your payout percentage increases on every connection. Each time a business renews their recommendation, you earn your current tier's percentage of that payment.

Tier Active Connections Payout Rate
Bronze 1 to 24 50.00%
Silver 25 to 49 60.00%
Gold 50 or more 70.00%

Your tier is based on your total number of active, paid connections at the time each payment is made. Tiers update automatically as your network grows. There is no application process and no approval required.


Simple Recommendations. Real Trust.

RECOMMENDii was built on one belief: the most powerful marketing in the world is a recommendation from someone you trust. Not a paid ad. Not a five-star review from a stranger. A real person saying, "I know someone. Let me give you their number."

We built RECOMMENDii to make that moment simple, scalable, and rewarding for everyone involved. Businesses get the kind of word-of-mouth that money usually cannot buy. RECOMMENDers get recognised and rewarded for the influence they already have. And the people looking for trusted services get exactly what they have always wanted. A recommendation they can actually believe in.
