Word of mouth has always been the most powerful form of marketing. Businesses have known this for as long as there have been businesses.
What has never been fair is who benefits from it.
The business gets a new client. The person who sent that client gets nothing. Not even a thank you, most of the time.
When your barber tells a client "you should call my physiotherapist," that recommendation has real value. The physiotherapist gets a warm lead from a trusted source. That client is far more likely to book, far more likely to return, and far more likely to become a long-term patient than someone who found the clinic through an ad.
That value has always existed. RECOMMENDii just makes it fair.
RECOMMENDii shares a percentage of what the business pays, not a fixed amount per referral. There are a few reasons for this.
First, it aligns everyone's interests. The RECOMMENDer earns as long as the Recommendationship is active. That means both sides are motivated to make the relationship work.
Second, it scales with your network. One Recommendationship earns you a share every six months. Ten earns you ten times that. Fifty earns you significantly more, at a higher rate.
Third, it is transparent. You know exactly what the business pays and exactly what your share is. No mystery. No small print.
RECOMMENDii shares revenue because the recommendation has value. But that value only exists if the recommendation is genuine.
A RECOMMENDer who puts any business on their list just to earn a fee will find that their list becomes worthless quickly. The people who trust them will stop trusting them. The businesses will stop seeing results. The Recommendationships will end.
The earning model on RECOMMENDii is designed to reward RECOMMENDers who build genuine networks, not large ones. Quality and integrity come first. The earnings follow.
Referral schemes pay you once for sending someone. RECOMMENDii pays you as long as the relationship continues.
That is a meaningful difference. You are not just making an introduction. You are maintaining a public endorsement. That ongoing commitment is what earns the ongoing income.
