Getting started with Refenture
Refenture is a referral partnership platform. It connects vendors (companies that sell to other businesses) with advisors (senior professionals who regularly introduce companies to service providers they trust).
This page walks through the basics of how the platform works, for both sides.
For advisors
You're probably already making introductions informally. Here's what happens when you make one through Refenture instead.
- Find a vendor. Browse the vendor marketplace or invite a vendor you already recommend informally.
- Review commission terms. Each vendor publishes commission plans on their profile. Pick one that fits the referral you have in mind.
- Create a referral. Pick the customer contact and the vendor contact. The vendor reviews and accepts (or declines with a reason).
- Make the introduction. Email, phone, LinkedIn, in person — however you normally would. Click "I've made the introduction" when it's done.
- Get paid. When a deal closes, your commission is tracked automatically. Payments are consolidated monthly, with year-end tax summaries ready for your accountant.
Refenture is free for advisors. Always.
For vendors
Vendors use Refenture to build a structured advisor network.
- Create a company profile. Describe what you sell and who your ideal customer is.
- Publish a commission plan. Set the terms you'll offer advisors — percentage, duration, bonuses. You can publish multiple plans, or create campaign-specific ones.
- Invite or be discovered. Invite advisors you already work with, or let them find you via the marketplace.
- Review referrals. When an advisor proposes a referral, accept or decline (with a reason). Accepted referrals trigger an auto-generated agreement.
- Close the deal. Continue your normal sales process. Refenture tracks the linked contract and your advisor's commission.
Free to start, with paid tiers once you're running serious volume. See for vendors for pricing.
