The most effective tool for generating word-of-mouth
At last, a tool provider that successfully addresses all the challenges associated with integrating a referral program in B2B. They offer easy integration, a great user experience, effortless payouts, and handle all necessary KYC requirements.
PROSBased on our experience, you feel that Cello is a team of highly skilled professionals with extensive expertise in facilitating growth. During our initial call, they impressed us by flawlessly simulating the referral widget in our tool, resulting in a visually great output. Furthermore, their onboarding process was pretty well streamlined, and the CS and product team provided great support. Their developer documentation was also very sophisticated.
CONSThere is some manual effort required to generate payment reports for Cello, at least in our setup.

Effortless Onboarding & Valuable Word-of-Mouth Amplification
My overall experience with Cello has been overwhelmingly positive. It has successfully automated our referral processes and significantly reduced the manual work involved, allowing us to focus on other business areas. The continuous support and the willingness to refine the system post-launch are highly appreciated and add substantial value to our operations.
PROSI'm particularly impressed with Cello's streamlined onboarding process—it's user-friendly and makes it incredibly easy to get started, which is a big plus. The platform also excels at nurturing word-of-mouth referrals in a way that feels natural and effective, which has significantly reduced the manual effort previously required from our team.
CONSMy experience with Cello has been positive; however, I believe there's room for improvement in the promotion management aspect. Specifically, the process for manually adding promotions for users could be simplified to enhance efficiency.
Reason for choosing Cello
We chose Cello because it offered a tailored solution for harnessing word-of-mouth in a traditional industry, with user-friendliness and customer support that far surpassed other options.

5% more Revenue Unlocked in Hours
After utilizing Cello for several weeks, I am genuinely impressed by the progress the team has made within this brief span. One aspect that particularly captures my attention is the remarkable speed of onboarding. Merely a few hours after signing up, we were able to dive right into using it. This epitomizes the essence of growth experiments. Moreover, the experience for referrers is exceptional. The platform is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive, allowing our users to effortlessly navigate, refer others, keep track of their activities, and efficiently receive their rewards.
CONSI'm quite satisfied with my experience so far. It would be great to have additional notification options to engage and re-activate users.
Reason for choosing Cello
As an early-stage start-up, I am constantly seeking innovative avenues to foster the growth of my company. Given our strong focus on product-led strategies, I was thrilled to experiment with Cello as a means to explore a fresh growth channel. I must admit, it has proven effective in activating our users and empowering them to advocate for our brand.

The best referral tool on the market
We had used another third-party product prior to cello for our referral program. Since changing to cello, the impact has been night and day: we are generating referrals and ARR consistently, and paying out rewards are easier than ever. We attribute the change in results to the clean UI and UX, an amazing analytics dashboard, and the sharing options that cello enables.
PROS- Extremely user friendly UI and UX - Great pre-built rewards-sharing methods - Simple and completely managed rewards payout flow - Strong and responsive implementation & feedback partners - Customer-oriented team that has our best outcomes at heart
CONSThere are small elements of UI customisation that would be 'nice to have' in the future. But the experience is smooth and slick, so we are happy with the current experience as well.

Get the most out of your user base with expert B2B growth strategies
When dealing with larger companies, it's essential to have a referral partner that is fully compliant. Cello places a strong emphasis on data privacy and compliance with GDPR regulations, even providing its users with guidance on how to handle revenue generated through referrals. In my experience, Cello is the easiest referral program to use.
PROSWhen using Cello, you not only have access to an easy-to-use platform but also feel as though you're working with genuine B2B growth experts. With a smart recurring rewards system to incentivize individuals and a G2M strategy that includes continuous experiments, Cello is dedicated to helping you get the most out of your referral program.
CONSAlthough not yet fully self-serve, the integration process only requires a small amount of developer capability (1-2 days). Due to this requirement, we have decided to postpone the integration until next quarter.

P2P referral has never been easier
A user-friendly peer-to-peer referral software that integrates the referral widget within your tool without requiring users to leave for sign-up is now available. Our users have positively received Cello's embedded widget.
PROSSince starting to use Cello, I've found the platform to be incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. The option to share via QR-code is especially helpful for mobile sharing through apps like WhatsApp or Slack. The customer success and growth teams have been excellent in providing support and helping us get set up with the software.
CONSTo increase user engagement, it would be beneficial for Cello to implement email notifications in addition to the current in-widget notifications for the latest rewards. The Cello team has mentioned that this feature is on their roadmap.

B2B referrals at scale - human trust at the age of AI
Simply great! We sought an easy-to-use, scalable referral platform for B2B companies. Cello unlocks a vast opportunity to maximize the power of word-of-mouth. There's so much untapped potential they revealed!
PROSI got the chance to invest in Cello and was very impressed by the founding team. The product is built with the highest quality and design practices. Numbers speak for themselves: not a year in, and already more than 2M users. Very user friendly and powerful to unlock word of mouth
CONSThat they don't have their own referral program! I know customer is first, but I think they should prioritise it and walk the talk!

Upcoming big player in the user-led growth business
Using referral programs to activate users is a no-brainer. Yes, but existing tools are too enterprise yet. Cello is an easy-to-use tool, that doesn't require to much work to integrate and that has a reasonable and scalable pricing model.
PROSYou feel like you are an early adopter of an upcoming big player in the user-led growth business. From the first touch in the demo, the overall experience was great with the Cello team. We loved above all the simplicity of the widget - highly recommended!
CONSIt is reduced to the most important features, so some more reward options would be amazing. But it delivers the promise. Looking forward to what is coming next.
