That's basically what we did with our affiliate program. On the back of the card, it says something like "Receive $5 off of your next order by entering the code below in the referred by field". Gives the user an incentive to 1) Save the card, and 2) Remember to give the referral info, which in turn gets your salespeople paid.
I've also made the "How did you hear about us / Referral code" field a mandatory field in our order form, and our CSRs have to ask how they heard about us when taking orders over the phone.
Once we get enough online sales people involved, we're going to start utilizing an affiliate marketing program, where each rep has their own referral code embedded into the web address they link people to.. Pretty slick, just not enough hours in the day right now to get it up and running.
