Introducing the ConferenceCaptioning Partner Program: Earn When You Refer Events
The ConferenceCaptioning Partner Program is our referral program. Apply, get a personal link and partner code, and earn a commission when a customer you refer signs up and pays for their first event or first year. AV companies and event organizers earn 5% to 15% in cash. Non-profits can take account credits or a donation instead. The people you refer get a discount too.
A 24-second walkthrough: the Partner Program page, applying in the portal, then an approved partner's dashboard (the dashboard uses sample data).
Who the Partner Program is for
You already sit next to the people who need captions and translation. Partners are usually one of three kinds:
- AV and event production companies: add captions to your AV checklist and earn on every client you bring. Cash commission.
- Event organizers: recommend us to peers, associations and the events you work with. Cash commission.
- Non-profit organizations: earn account credits or a donation to your organization.
What you earn
Your rate rises with the number of customers you sign in a year. Commission is a percentage of what the customer actually paid for their first event or first year, after any discount.
| Tier | Signed customers in the last 12 months | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| Silver | 1 to 2 | 5% |
| Gold | 3 to 5 | 10% |
| Platinum | 6 or more | 15% |
What the customers you refer get
10% off their first event or first year. Non-profits are eligible for our existing non-profit discount of up to 50% off their first event or first year, and a partner referral makes the full discount more likely.
How to join, step by step
Step 1: Apply in the portal
Sign in (or create a free account) at app.conferencecaptioning.com and open Referrals in the sidebar. Choose your partner type, add your company, and tell us how you would introduce ConferenceCaptioning and how you would like to be paid.
Step 2: We review it by hand
Every application is reviewed by a person. Until then, your Referrals page shows that your application was received.
Step 3: Get your link and code
Once approved, your Referrals page shows your personal link and your partner code. Share the link, or have customers enter your code when they sign up or on a demo call.
Step 4: Watch your referrals
The same page shows visits through your link, the accounts created, and what you have earned. For each referred account you can see the name and email they signed up with, their stream name, whether the account is still active, whether it has become a paid customer, and what you earned from it.
How we credit referrals
- 180 days. A customer who creates a new account within 180 days of clicking your link is credited to you.
- Most recent link wins. If a customer clicked links from two partners, the more recent one gets the credit.
- New customers only. Existing accounts don't qualify.
- Or use your code. A customer can enter your code at sign-up or mention it on a demo call.
- Manual approval and payouts. We review every application, and payouts are made by us after the customer has paid.
Partner rules
Tell people you earn a commission when you recommend us. Use only our published accuracy and delay numbers (see the benchmark) and don't make other claims about what the product does. Referring yourself doesn't earn a commission.
