Common Questions
How will the OC$ team know someone has been referred?
The moment you hit Send Referral, our admin team receives an immediate email notification with all the details you entered — business name, contact info, type of business, and your personal note. It is flagged as a referral in our inbox and logged in our support system so nothing falls through the cracks.
Will the team get an email notification right away?
Yes — instantly. The admin notification is sent the moment your form is submitted, 24/7. It does not wait for anyone to check a dashboard. Our team typically reviews new referrals within the same business day and aims to follow up with the business within 1–2 business days.
How will the person who referred get notified?
You will receive a confirmation email at the address you enter in the form. It includes a full summary of your submission, the 4-step follow-up process our team will take, and a note on whether the business has already been contacted. If you have questions or want to add information, simply reply to that email.
How will the referred business be notified?
If you provide the business email: they receive a personalized welcome email immediately — it mentions your name, includes your note, explains the OC$ program benefits, and invites them to book a free 15-minute discovery call. It comes from OUR Community Dollar on your behalf.
If you don't have their email: no problem — our team will reach out directly by phone or in person using the contact details you provide.

Do I need to be an OC$ member to refer someone?
Not at all! Anyone can submit a referral. Whether you are a current member, a shopper, or simply someone who cares about local business — your referral is welcome and appreciated.
What happens after the business is contacted?
Our team schedules a discovery call with the business owner to walk them through the program. Once they decide to join and complete their enrollment, we'll send you a note letting you know your referral made it happen!
