As you know, referrals are the coin of the realm in my profession.
If you have a friend, colleague, or anyone else who is in need of help that I can provide, I invite you to connect them with me. My solemn promise to you is that I will provide them with whatever help I can to within the best of my abilities — and if I cannot help, I will see to it that they’re connected with someone who can help them.
You’re reading this page because you’re a trusted friend, client, or colleague and you’re curious how to refer someone to me.
First off, let me thank you deeply. I appreciate any and all referrals that you are gracious enough to provide. You have my promise that any person you refer to me, I will provide with whatever help I can to the best of my abilities.
If you’re curious about who would make an ideal referral and how to refer someone to me, read on. This has been one of the most frequently asked questions I’ve received, and this page was written to give you helpful, specific instructions on how to refer someone you know.
“Who should I refer to you?”
My ideal clients are SAP customers with a purchasing or procurement team.
They have either just moved onto SAP or have been using it for a couple of years (2-5 years). The dust has settled, and they may be wondering how to fully use their new system to reduce purchasing costs and increase working capital.
Also, if there is anyone — for any reason — that you feel would benefit from being connected with me, you have my blanket permission to refer anyone and everyone to me, for whatever reason. I am always happy to make myself available to help someone that you refer to me, in whatever capacity that I can.
What problems can Hau help with?
My ideal clients are looking for help:
“How should I refer people to you?”
The best way to refer someone to me is to send them a link to my new client questionnaire.
That is the best way for us to start the conversation, so I can best understand how I can help them and their business.
Send them a link to this page: https://summerlinanalytics.com/apply/
Please let them know that when they fill out the questionnaire, they should put down your name as the person who referred them to me.
Below, I’ve included an email that you can copy and paste and send to anyone you’d like to refer to me.
How does Hau help his clients?
My clients can benefit from done-for-you services or coaching/mentoring services. Services range from $3,000 to $30,000+, depending on the scope of work. All of my services are fixed-rate, so my clients never have to worry about the project costing more than expected.
“Do you have an email I can use to refer people to you?”
Absolutely — just copy and paste this, substituting in their name and the relevant parts and send the email to someone that you’ve identified. Please CC or BCC me so I know that you’ve referred them to me and can prepare accordingly.
Hi NAME,
You mentioned that you were looking for help with [Problem they’re facing OR an outcome they’re looking for].
I’d like to introduce you to Hau, an analytics consultant who specializes in helping SAP customers increase working capital by providing visibility to enterprise spend and purchase compliance.
I’m familiar with Hau’s work and highly recommend him as someone that you speak to. I’ve CC’ed Hau on this email and he’ll be replying in a day or so to learn more about you, your goals, and your business.
In the meantime, I recommend you fill out this questionnaire so he knows in advance of the call how he can best help you (make sure to put me down as the source of the referral!)

Once you’ve filled out that questionnaire, Hau will be in touch with any follow-up questions and to schedule a time for the two of you to speak.
Looking forward to hearing how the conversation goes,
[Your Name]
