ATTRIBUTION PROGRAM FOR REFERRING WORK TO INTELLIVEN

Payment Schedule

Transfer of committed work

  • 10% on all work that we do that is sold without any help from us. Thus, if someone sells a $1.2 MM engagement and turns it over to us, (s)he gets 10% or $120K.

Lead referral with continued involvement

  • Continued involvement means involvement in the sale of work, not its execution.
  • 10% on all work under $100K if the work results from a lead that someone has turned over to us and the person continues to be involved in the sale.
  • Then, 7.5% on the next $400K (i.e. up to $500K total), 5% on the next $500K (to $1 MM), and 1% after that.
  • Thus, a $1.2 MM project, under this scenario, would result in a commission of 10% of 100K + 7.5% of $400K + 5% of $500K + 1% of $200K or $67K (5.6% total commission).

Lead referral with no further involvement

  • 10% on all work under $100K if the work results from a lead that someone has turned over to us and the person has no further involvement with it.
  • Then, 5% on the next $400K (i.e. up to $500K total), and 1% after that.
  • Thus a $1.2 MM project, under this scenario, would result in a commission of 10% of $100K + 5% of $400K + 1% of $700K or $37K (3.1% total commission).

Summary table

Next $400K 10.0% 7.5% 5.0%
Next $500K 10.0% 5.0% 1.0%
> $1 million 10.0% 1.0% 1.0%
Commission on $1.2 million project $120K $67K $37K
 

Follow-on work

  • If the person brings us additional work or leads at the same client, the above commission structure applies with one modification.

    If the person has no further involvement with the client, we will apply the commission structure under lead referral with no further involvement above to cumulative billings for 12 months after the person's last contact with the client.

  • Thus, if someone brought us a lead and continued to be involved in what turned out to be a $300K sale, (s)he would receive a commission of 10% of $100K and 7.5% of $200K or $25K (8.3% total commission).
  • If the person then had no further involvement with the client, and we then grew the account by another $500K over the next 12 months, so that total billings were $800K, (s)he would receive an additional 5% of $200K + 1% of $300K or $13K.
  • The above commission structure applies to billings, not payments. Thus, for example, if a client paid us in month 15 for work we did in month 12, the commission structure would apply to that work.

Executive Operating Reviews

  • One of our service offerings is the executive operating review, a meeting in which we review the client's situation, suggest ways (s)he can improve his/her operation, and often discover opportunities for additional work. The fee for these meetings is typically $2500, and they often occur on a regular (e.g. monthly) basis.
  • Should someone help us land such a review, the commission structure above applies. Thus, if the person were involved with the sale for six months, and six operating reviews occurred during that time, (s)he would receive 10% of (6 * $2500) or $1.5K.
  • Assume that, after the six months, the person ceased to be involved with the client. If we then generated $185K in additional work from the client over the next year, resulting in total billings of $200K, the person who initially helped us land the account would receive 10% of $85K + 5% of $100K or $13.5K.

Payment timing
We will pay commissions within 10 business days of receipt of payment from the client. If the client does not pay us, we will not pay the commission.

Multiple persons involved
If more than one person is involved in referring the same piece of work, we will split the fees calculated per the above between them based on their relative contribution to the sale.
