FINANCIAL INCENTIVES
Unlike traditional vendor referral agreements, which are typically 5-10% of the initial investment, our vendors agree to compensate 10% for the full term of the contract, as a 1099 independent contractor. These terms are defined in the Member Expert user agreement.
Personal Recurring Revenue™ (PRR) includes the initial purchase, renewals, expansions, and other lines the customer may license. AcceleTrex™ maintains vendor contracts, disburses payments, and coordinates tax records.
Anonymity is an important aspect for Market Experts (MEs) on the exchange. Market Experts can view and research listing vendors, but vendors cannot search or contact them without permission. This prevents unsolicited communication and allows discussions between peers in private.
Market Experts
TRANSFORM YOUR IT EXPERTISE INTO PERSONAL RECURRING REVENUE™ (PRR)
Within the exchange, you’ll be a “Market Expert.” Using your advanced technical acumen, you can translate value with minimal information: No training, white papers or marketing needed.
After a brief explanation, Market Experts recognize the technology and know exactly why it is a good fit.
The reason you’re important to the AcceleTrex™ experience is because next-generation technology is only fully understood by seasoned practitioners and professional salespeople.
And start-ups don’t have the time or resources to hire 10 seasoned professionals.
Through this referral exchange, Market Experts are eligible to earn Personal Recurring Revenue™ through vendors who subscribe to the service.
