referral

This phrase is correct.

A "referral" is when someone directs you to another source for help or information.

In the United States, this is most commonly used when discussing healthcare. A primary care doctor might give a patient a referral to a specialist who can treat a complex medical condition.

Some companies will give referral bonuses to existing customers who persuade new customers to try their product.
