  • Ep. 29: Gerry Scott on Turning COIs into a Referral Engine
    Nov 21 2025

    What if instead of asking COIs for referrals, you built a system that made them want to send business your way?

    That’s the approach Gerry Scott took. A veteran advisor and creator of the Snowbirds US Day Tracker app, Gerry started by solving a simple client problem: tracking IRS and immigration days for snowbirds.

    But the real breakthrough was turning that solution into a platform that promotes accountants and lawyers (his COIs), builds trust with clients, and generates a steady stream of referrals.

    In this episode, Gerry shares:

    • How solving a client problem opened doors with COIs

    • Why using marketing as a “thank you” creates stronger relationships

    • How promoting accountants and lawyers turned into his best referral strategy
