Referral Partner Program

A Referral Partner (RP) is any business or individual that supplies Brainstorm International with at least $3,000 of new client revenue annually. A new client revenue is described as a new client that purchases a new product or new service subscription. 

The (RP) can work with Brainstorm as a *white label provider through the Affiliate’s business – or as a pass-through referral (Brainstorm works with the client direct and reports progress to the referral source during the project).

As a white-label provider, Brainstorm will expect payment from the (RP) under the stipulations outlined in the client proposal. This usually constitutes a 50% deposit and balance due on project completion.

If additional work is required beyond the original proposal, payment arrangements will be agreed upon before additional work is started.

It is the (RP’S) responsibility to introduce Brainstorm International to the referral.

This can be accomplished face-to-face, via teleconference, or through a scheduled brainstorming/referral follow-up call with a definite purpose and project in mind.

All other referral types from (RP) will be considered *LEADS.

Leads have different compensation. (see below for LEAD PROGRAM)

Brainstorm International, may also call on the (RP) and request that they contact the referral when a delay has occurred between the introduction and the proposal approval stage. This RP call helps to initiate action or provide feedback from the potential client.

Brainstorm International extends special consideration for (RP) in-house projects.

In-house projects are those which promote the (RP’S) business. In-house projects can be logo and marketing material design, website development, certain printed pieces, and other marketing products and services. This also includes monthly services like website hosting, domain name registration, and email accounts. 

Each in-house project is written as a proposal and approved by the RP.

In-house projects are included in the RP’s $3,000 annual minimum project requirement but are not subject to referral commissions.

Timely payment by (RP) to Brainstorm International, LLC for services rendered is part of the criteria for “RP in Good Standing” status. If an RP is not in “Good Standing” no commissions are released until status is rectified and the relationship is put back into “Good Standing”.

Pass-Through (RP) receives a 15% commission on their projects as compensation if payment is secured in the agreed-upon time frame. 

The (RP) would receive their first payment once the minimum volume of $3000.00 is met. For example, if the White-Label RP was responsible for 3 projects equalling $1,000 each, they would receive a payment for 15% of the gross once those projects have been completed and payment secured.  $3,000.00 = $450.00 Referral Payment. (Venmo or Check). After the initial minimum is met, payment would be issued 15 days after the completion of each Pass-Through RP project.

After the minimum volume is met, (RP) would receive their Referral Payment within 30 days of receiving the client payments.
