# Recommend a friend
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/promote-grow/recommend-a-friend

A signed-in user recommends someone to Aden, the person, their team, their label and its size, and it lands in the admin lead pipeline as a lead we can work and invite from.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

The referral link brings people who sign up on their own. This is the other
half: you tell us about someone we should be talking to. An artist, a manager,
a label, and we do the reaching out.

You fill in who they are and whatever you already know about them. We email
them, mention that you sent them, and take it from there. Nothing about your
account is shared with them.

## Using it [#using-it]

1. Open **Account → Referrals** and choose **Recommend someone**.
2. Enter their name and email. Everything else is optional. Their role, their
   artist or team name, their label or company, what kind of company it is, its
   size, where they are, their website, and why you think they'd be a fit.
3. Send it. The recommendation appears in the list below the button, with what
   happened to it: **Sent**, **In touch**, **Joined**, or **Closed**.

If we already have that person on file, your recommendation is added to what we
know about them rather than starting again. You'll be told so when you send it.
