Affiliate Program Commission Structure

Below is a breakdown and estimate of our three main lease structures and the commissions you can earn by referring someone who becomes a Signup Systems' customer. As you can see, if you refer even a single customer to us you could earn a considerable passive income stream; however if you have many contacts in the event management industry the upside is tremendous.

In fact, even if your contacts are not directly with event management companies but you can refer Affiliates who then go on to refer customers to us, you can also earn a Second Tier Affiliate commission. The commission schedule below shows the percentages for each tier. The First Tier Affiliate is someone who directly refers a company that purchases a lease from us. The Second Tier Affiliate is the person or company that referred the First Tier Affiliate.

Our lease options are designed to allow customers to begin using our software even during the startup stage of business, providing them with upgrade paths as their business grows so they can find ways of reducing their own costs even as they become more profitable. In this way we support a mutually beneficial long-term relationship with them and you will profit as they graduate through each stage.

Commissions are paid upon receipt of payment from our customers; checks are then mailed to our referral partners on a monthly basis.

Entry Level Lease	Fee Type	First Tier Affiliate	1st Tier Commission	Second Tier Affiliate	2nd Tier Commission
	Initial Lease Fee	fee x 20%	up to $1,600.00*	fee x 5%	up to $400.00

How We Track Your Referrals to Ensure You Get Credit

When you sign up to our Affiliate Program your contact information will be entered into our database. If you have someone contact us by phone or email, simply ensure they mention you or your company name and we'll create a permanent reference link between them and you in our system.

If you send email to people in your network or place links in your website leading back to ours, tracking your referrals is very easy and automatic. When you join the Affiliate Program, you will choose a special, unique, referral phrase (or word) which will be part of a web link we'll provide you. Simply send that link by email or have your Webmaster place that link in your website and use it to link back to our site. When anyone clicks on that link we'll plant a "cookie" when they arrive on our website which will stay with their web browser for 90 days.

If they then sign up using any of the forms on our website, your contact record in our system will be linked permanently to theirs. Then if they later purchase a lease from us at any time, you will be credited as the First Tier Affiliate and will receive commissions based on the examples above. If they call or email us from the contact us page, your reference number is displayed prominently for them when we request it.

For instance, you were not referred to our site from a link on the web from an email because an Affiliate Program reference number has not been stored in your web browser's cookies. If you were referred by a link, you would not be reading this paragraph; you would be reading one that actually shows the reference number.

If you're curious to see this tracking in action, sign up using the form above then return to this page afterward and look at the paragraph above. We will have captured the information of the person who referred you (if any) during the sign up process and will then store your own referral cookie on this computer when you log in so that if anyone is on your computer in the future and signs up, you'll get credit for referring them. Naturally, we assume if someone signs up on the computer of one of our Affiliate Program Members, they have been referred by them.

Offer Part or All of Your Commission as a Kickback

As an Affiliate Program member you can use part or all of your commissions as a kickback to your referrals. That company/organization can't employ you directly, otherwise our customers would only need to become Affiliate Program members themselves and then "refer" their own businesses. But if you are a private individual or organization serving other companies in the event management field, you could eliminate or discount your 20% commission as a kickback to customers you are already in a profitable relationship with, for professional good-will measures..

It's common for a commissioned sales person to reduce their own "end" in order to provide additional incentive for prospective clients to make a purchasing decision, and we happily offer that power to you. For instance, if you already provide consulting to a potential client and refer them to us, you might offer to eliminate your share of the Initial Lease Agreement commission knowing that the monthly commission you could earn will far out weigh the short-term benefits in the long run. If our customers' costs are reduced while the relationship continues to be profitable for all parties, we are only too happy to facilitate the arrangement.

Sign up in Minutes and Benefit for Years

The simple fact is those customers who decide to use our software will more than likely continue using Signup Systems for the life of their business. We provide small and medium sized businesses with most of the systems they will need to grow their business with impunity for years. And large businesses who choose to use us will certainly perform their due diligence sufficiently to know that we're a solution they can plan a long future with, which means that a single referral from you could pay dividends for many years requiring nothing more of you beyond making the initial introduction.

If you're interested in playing your part as the essential link between Signup Systems and the customers we know are out there looking for the solution we provide, we would be truly delighted to pay you for years to come.

*We indicate the commission payouts are "up to" a certain amount because we reserve the right to offer special discounts or special offers at our discretion to customers as part of our marketing and promotions. When these discounts or promotions are offered, commission percentages are still paid out based on the schedule above; however, the amount of the Initial Lease and Monthly Usage fees may vary depending on the promotion. Finally, the Entry Level Lease, Monthly Lease fees may be zero if a company's usage is null for the month, or they could exceed $1000 in a given month if a customer has a banner month.

**We charge a minimum monthly usage fee to cover hosting costs on months when customer usage is very small. Event companies are often seasonal and this monthly fee allows us to host our customers' installations during these slow periods at/or near break-even and do not pay commission on this monthly minimum, which is why it is subtracted from the usage fees before they are paid. This provides customers with the lowest cost solution during quiet periods while providing Signup Systems and our Affiliate Program members rewards only when our customers are profiting from the use of our systems.
