The best thing you can do for a colleague this year costs you nothing
The best thing you can do for a colleague this year costs you nothing
A thank you that works both ways.
June 15, 2026

Maybe you’re the research type – you found us through the blog, or watched one of our YouTube videos during a late night scroll. Or maybe it was simpler than that: a colleague mentioned their accountant, almost in passing, and something clicked. However you found us, hello!

And if someone pointed you our way, you already know the value of that kind of recommendation. It costs nothing, takes 2 minutes and for a dentist at the right moment, it can genuinely change the direction of their business.

If you’re already a Hive client

We’d love you to think of one person you know: an associate, a practice owner, a colleague you respect who might benefit from working with us. If you refer them and they join Hive, we’ll send you a thank you gift. You choose from:

  • A £50 Amazon voucher – delivered to your inbox
  • A Cornish Cream Tea – delivered to your door
  • A bottle of Cornish wine – delivered to your door

There’s no limit on referrals, so if you want to refer your whole practice, be our guest. Every one counts and so does every thank you.

To refer someone to Hive

In order to refer someone to us, send them our contact details which you can find here and let them know to mention you when they enquire. If you would rather we got in touch, send an email to your friend and include us in there so we can reply and take it from there. We avoid contacting people out of the blue (it’s not really our style!) so making sure they give the thumbs up to be contacted is essential. We don’t want to start our relationship with a bad feeling.

Once we’re in contact, we’ll take them through our new client journey to ensure they’re on board with us as quickly and painlessly as possible.

When they’re all signed up, we’ll be in touch to arrange your thank you gift.

Want to go one step further?

We’re also collecting short video testimonials from clients,  just a minute or two, filmed on your phone, sent to hello@hivebusiness.co.uk or DM on our social media channels.

If you’d like to share your experience working with Hive, everyone who sends in a video receives an M&S letterbox hamper as a thank you. Not sure what to say? Here are a few prompts to get you started:

  • I love working with Hive because…
  • The biggest change in my practice since working with Hive has been…
  • I wish I had joined Hive sooner because…
  • The best thing about working with the team at Hive is…
  • I’d recommend Hive to any dentist because…

Please only share your genuine, honest feedback please. We’re not looking for polished testimonials, we really want to hear what you have to say about us. It’s lovely to hear the nice things our clients have to say about us and they will be shared in our marketing materials.

If you’re not yet a client of Hive

You might be here because someone sent you this link. If so, that’s already a good sign, people don’t tend to recommend things they don’t believe in.

Here’s what we can tell you about working with Hive:

  • We’re a close-knit team who genuinely enjoy the work and you’ll notice that (just read our Google reviews https://share.google/xi2Eh6fJGsgFqE4Gj )
  • We specialise in dental business. If we can’t help you directly, we’ll introduce you to someone in our trusted network who can.
  • We have a training portal designed to help you build the business skills that dental school never covered.
  • And the most important thing: we won’t take you on as a client if we don’t think we can genuinely help you. It’s not even a sales line, it’s actually how we work.
