Technology Consultant Referral Program​

​Overview:
Our Technology Consultant Referral Program empowers independent consultants to refer qualified projects and clients for a positive outcome. This initiative fosters collaboration, offering both you and your peers the opportunity to expand your networks, drive business growth, and earn rewards. By referring clients to trusted peers, you contribute to a community of high-performing technology consultants while maximizing your earning potential.

Program Goals:

• Facilitate collaboration and mutual growth between independent consultants and our partner organization.
• Encourage the sharing of work opportunities and the referral of clients within the technology consulting community.
• Provide rewards and incentives for consultants who refer qualified opportunities that lead to successful outcomes.

Eligibility:

• Referrers: Independent technology consultants who are in good standing with the program.
• Referred Opportunities: Client projects, technology needs, or consulting assignments that require expertise from our partner organization.

Referral Process:
1. Referral Submission:

• Independent consultants can submit a referral by providing detailed information about the client project or opportunity they wish to refer to the partner organization.
• Referrers must specify the type of service required (e.g., software development, IT infrastructure, cybersecurity) and introduce the client’s needs

2. Review and Assignment:

• Once the referral is received, the partner organization will evaluate the opportunity to match it with an appropriate consultant from their network.
• If the referral meets the qualifications and requirements, the consultant from the partner organization will take over the project and begin the engagement with the client.

3. Confirmation:

• The referring consultant will be notified once the opportunity has been successfully matched and the project is underway.
• Referrals are considered successful once the client signs a contract and the project commences.

Referral Incentives:
1. Referral Commission:

• Consultants will earn a commission for each project referred that leads to a signed contract.
• Commissions are structured based on the scope and scale of the project, typically ranging from 3% to 8% of the total project value or contract amount.

2. Milestone Bonuses:

• For each successful referral that generates more than $100,000 in project revenue, the referring consultant will receive a bonus for helping the client and partner organization connect.
• Bonuses may range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the size and complexity of the referred project.

3. Tiered Reward System:
Consultants who consistently refer high-value opportunities can progress through a tiered reward structure:

• Bronze Level: 1-2 successful referrals – Access to exclusive webinars or training sessions on emerging technology trends.
• Silver Level: 3-5 successful referrals – Enhanced referral commission rates and additional support from the partner organization’s sales team.
• Gold Level: 6+ successful referrals – VIP treatment with personalized client matching, annual awards recognition, and invitations to exclusive networking events.

Recognition & Long-Term Partnerships:
The top referring consultants each quarter will receive public recognition within the community and receive special access to new project opportunities.
Top performers will also receive invitations to attend annual industry events or conferences as guests of the partner organization.

Terms and Conditions:

• The referred opportunity must lead to a signed contract between the client and the partner organization within 60 days of the referral submission.
• Referral commissions are based on the value of the project and will be paid after the client’s first payment or milestone payment is received.
• Consultants are eligible to refer as many opportunities as they wish, but commissions will only be paid for successfully closed and executed projects.
• The program reserves the right to adjust commission structures, incentives, or terms as necessary, with prior notice to all participating consultants.

Communication and Support:

• Referral Tracking: Consultants can track the status of their referrals and monitor commission earnings via a personalized dashboard in the referral portal.
• Support: Dedicated account managers and support teams are available to assist consultants with referral inquiries and ensure smooth handoffs between clients and consultants.
• Program Updates: Regular program updates, success stories, and best practices will be shared with consultants to keep them informed and engaged with the program.
