When will I get rewarded and how much?

How will the rewards be paid out and when?
Rewards are issued to the company you represent, which may be your own business or the organization you are employed by, as direct payments to individuals are not feasible. Payments are made through invoicing, requiring the recipient company to submit an invoice to receive the reward. This method ensures a formal and traceable process for both parties involved.
For SQL (Sales Qualified Lead) rewards, the payment process is initiated within 30 days following a successful introductory meeting with the referred individual. This timeframe allows for the necessary administrative procedures, including the processing of the invoice submitted by the recipient company.
For loan rewards, the payout is completed within 30 days after the loan has been successfully disbursed. Similar to SQL rewards, the recipient company must submit an invoice for the reward payment, facilitating a structured and accountable payout process.
This invoicing procedure underscores our commitment to clarity and accountability in the reward process. It ensures that all rewards are distributed in a timely and organized manner, reflecting our appreciation for your valuable contributions and support.
How many people can I refer to you?
You can refer as many people as you want, but not more than one per company.
What happens if someone else also submits my intro?
The person who submits the referral first will get rewarded.
