Getting Customers Without Feeling Salesy
Your personalised signup link is the only thing you really need. Vouchers, QR codes and follow-up messages simply make it even easier.
Your recommended customer signup link
The best link to give most customers is your direct GotBackUp customer signup page. If they sign up through your link, their account is tracked to you.
GBDrive.com/adnet
You are currently viewing the personalised page of the reseller who introduced you. The links on this page show their GotBackUp username so you can see the tracking working.
After you join, you will choose your own GotBackUp username. For example, if your username is smithpc, your customer link becomes GBDrive.com/smithpc.
Best link to give most customers. Use this on vouchers, invoices, receipts and in conversation.
Use this if a free trial makes the conversation feel easier, or if the customer is hesitant.
Give them the link right after you’ve fixed their device, when trust is highest.
The one question that starts everything
When you’ve finished a repair and the customer is happy, ask:
If they say “I don’t” — perfect. If they say “external drive” — remind them drives get dropped, lost, stolen, or fail. Cloud backup is automatic whenever the device is on.
- Ask the question.
- Give them your direct customer signup link: GBDrive.com/adnet
- They sign up — you get credited. Renewals track to you too.
The goal is not to hard sell. It is simply to help the customer protect their data and earn recurring income when they renew.
Other ways to increase sign-ups
Your direct customer signup link is the main thing. These extras can help, but you do not need to use them all.
🎟️ The easiest way to share your link ▾
Customers do not need to decide there and then. A printed voucher simply gives them an easy way to find your personalised signup page later.
- Takes less than 10 seconds
- Does not feel like selling
- Your personalised link is already built into the QR code

🎁 Use the free trial as a soft option ▾
The free trial link is useful if you feel the customer is hesitant, or if you do not want the conversation to feel like you are selling another paid product.
“There is a free trial option if you want to test it first. The important thing is that your files are protected before something goes wrong.”
Free trial link: TakeAFreeTrial.com/adnet
💬 Send a simple follow-up message ▾
This is useful if the customer asks you to text them the link, or if they seemed interested but did not sign up immediately.
“Hi! Here’s that backup link I mentioned — it’s an easy way to protect your photos and files.
GBDrive.com/adnet
If you want to try it first, there is also a free trial here:
TakeAFreeTrial.com/adnet”
Send this the same day while the repair is fresh in their mind.
🧾 Add the link to invoices and receipts ▾
Add a short line to the bottom of invoices, receipts or collection slips.
📱 Let them scan a QR code before they leave ▾
If they already have their phone out, let them scan your QR voucher there and then. They can register quickly and set up their devices properly once they get home.
- Print a QR code linking to GBDrive.com/adnet
- Ask them to scan it on their phone
- They register through your tracked link
⭐ Mention backup on your Google listing ▾
Most repair shops already get customers from local Google searches. Add a simple line to your Google Business Profile:
📸 Mention backup in repair posts ▾
When you post a repair on social media, add a gentle backup reminder.
Quick note: this works best when you are using the backup yourself — customers trust “I use it too.”
