How it works

Four steps. About a minute of your time.

Designed to be the lightest-weight referral process in the industry. We do the chasing, you collect the check.

01

Submit

Five-minute form below. Just need the prospect's company name, project type, and approximate timeline. Prospect contact info is optional, so leave it blank if you haven't told them yet.

02

We attribute

Within 48 business hours we either reach out to the prospect or notify you that they're already in our pipeline. Either way, you get a clear answer fast, with no chasing.

03

We close

Engineer-led sales conversation, configured quote, and project deposit, with a typical close window of 4–8 weeks from referral. You stay in the loop on milestones if you want to be.

04

You get paid

30 days after the deposit clears, we wire 5% of hardware revenue (or send a check, your call). 1099 issued in January if your annual referral earnings clear $600.

What you actually earn

Real payouts. Real numbers.

Five percent of hardware revenue, capped at nothing. Below are the three project sizes we see most often and what each pays you. The prospect picks their benefit at quote time, so you don't have to negotiate it.

What qualifies as a referral

All of these must clear

  • US or Canada commercial buyer
  • Project closes within 12 months
  • Hardware scope $20K or higher
  • Not a customer we're already in talks with

Submit anything that looks like a fit. If a referral fails the fourth rule (already in our pipeline), you'll get a courtesy notification within 48 hours so you don't waste cycles.

How payouts, qualification, and attribution work

Referral program FAQs

5% of hardware revenue on accepted referrals, with a $1,500 minimum payout. A typical 2-lane install pays $1,500. A 6-lane Class A office install pays around $7,500. A 12-lane stadium project pays $15,000+. Payouts are wired (or check, partner's choice) within 30 days of the project's deposit clearing.

Within 30 days of the customer's deposit clearing, not after the project completes. We've found that paying fast on deposit is the single biggest driver of partners actually referring repeat business. Tax form (1099-NEC) issued in January for any partner earning $600+ in a calendar year.

No cap. We've paid five-figure single-project referral fees and we're happy to keep doing it. The biggest payouts in 2025 came from architect referrals into multi-tower commercial portfolios.
