Christopher Avery
CEO, Partnerwerks, Inc. | Host of The Leadership Gift Program
February/March is a great time to promote. People love to join when we are teaching the 8 Core Modules live.
What is the Referral Partner Program?
Our Referral Partner Program allows you to make money by referring customers to join The Leadership Gift Program. You earn commission by placing links and promotional banners on your website, in emails, or in social media that directs buyers to The Leadership Gift Program landing page.
Why refer others to The Leadership Gift Program?
Consider three reasons:
The Leadership Gift Program nurtures leaders and coaches who seek our unique content, expertise, and accreditation around The Responsibility Process®. They also gain access to me and my 25 years of practicing this material.
We earn a 9.4 Net Promoter Score measured at 16 weeks after joining.
We make the program accessible by requiring no commitment beyond the first-month’s investment (USD 97). This first month membership grants immediate access to all content, forums, and meetings. Members are encouraged to stay in the program only as long as they receive value. The bulk of members stay a long time (our core group has belonged since 2009). This means the business enjoys a strong customer lifetime value (CLTV).
What is the business opportunity?
As a referral partner, you earn 30% commission on recurring subscription revenue of (currency is USD) $97 monthly or $997 annually per member.
Thirty percent of $97 is $29.10. So you would earn $29.10 per month as long as your referral remains a member.
Thirty percent of $997 is $299.10. So you would earn $299.10 per year as long as your referral remains a member.
Don’t just do it for the money. Do it for the value it brings to people.
Who makes an ideal referral partner?
You make an ideal referral partner if you know people in our target audience and will tell (and remind) them of our offer.
If you operate an ecommerce business, then you will want to be in a complimentary market space. That means we enjoy complimentary purposes and values so customers recognize that our association makes sense and appreciate that your referral is a service to them.
Also, an ideal referral partner will plan for, schedule, and participate in promotions. The bulk of our members like to join us when we are promoting a “16-week semester of the 8 Core Modules delivered live with Christopher Avery.”
How does the referral partnership work?
It is a three-step process:
As a referral partner you can track metrics in your referral partner account (set up when you register).
What are the rules/terms of the Referral Partner Program?
The Referral Partner Program rules and terms are defined in the Referral Partner Program Agreement.

This agreement describes the terms and conditions for participation in Partnerwerks, Inc. Referral Partner Program for The Leadership Gift Program.
Partnerwerks will work in a collaborative and mutually supportive manner. We expect you to also. We’re serious about this Win/Win/Win/Win (Us/You/Prospects/Customers) spirit.
We take a positive, permission-oriented, value-based approach to marketing and sales. We expect you to do the same. Exploring boundaries and experimenting are fine, however shady or “spammy” practices and win/lose exploitation of each other, the prospect, or the customer are not fine.
We do our best in this agreement to describe the essence of our expectations for each party. We won’t spell out every possible detail and boundary. In the event of violations or conflicts, Partnerwerks is the sole arbiter of who will be approved or terminated as a Referral Partner.
We may change any of these terms and conditions as we see the need. We will let you know if and when we do. Your continued participation in the program demonstrates your acceptance of the change.
To enroll in the Referral Partner Program, you must submit a Referral Partner application and be approved.
We will create a Referral Partner account for you in our secure online portal. You will be issued a custom URL unique to you. You use your custom URL to promote The Leadership Gift Program to your prospects.
When your prospects click your URL, their browser will be directed to our sales page. Their browser is cookied and their Internet Protocol (IP) address is recorded in our system. This is for tracking so that when they complete and submit a web-form on that page—either immediately or up to a year later—our system creates a customer account for them and assigns you as their referral partner to whom we owe commission.
You will receive 30% of revenue from orders placed through your properly coded custom URL. Word of mouth referrals will not generate a commission. It is your responsibility to supply your prospects with your properly coded custom URL so they can be tracked in our system.
Partnerwerks pays referral partners quarterly by check, PayPal, or wire transfer (for international only). Partnerwerks will coordinate the payment method with each referral partner.
Customers who purchase products and services through the Partnerwerks Referral Partner Program will be deemed to be customers of Partnerwerks. If they were pre-existing customers of yours, they will still be your customers for your products or services. However, Partnerwerks will be solely responsible for processing and servicing every order placed by a customer via referral partner URLs.
Qualifying referral partners operate in the positive spirit noted in paragraph two:
Referral partners may not use their referral partner URL for, or earn commission on, their own membership in The Leadership Gift Program. We encourage you to use The Leadership Gift Program spouse and family discount for families. For corporations, contact us about our corporate program.
Let’s stay permission-oriented and value-based. Don’t use spam e-mail and other forms of abusive marketing.
Report violations to Partnerwerks. We will be the sole arbiters of what is spam and reserve the right to terminate Referral Partners.
Referral partners are independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the parties. Neither party has the authority to make or accept offers on behalf of the other (although kind words, promotion, references, endorsements, and praise are always welcomed).
The term of this Agreement will begin when you and we each accept, and will end when terminated by either party. Either Partnerwerks or you may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause.
Partnerwerks will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages (or any loss of revenue, profits, expenditures or data) arising in connection with this Agreement or the Program. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total commissions paid or payable to the referral partner under to this Agreement.
We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Referral Partner Program or a referral partner’s potential to earn income from the Referral Partner Program. In addition, we make no representation that the operation of the websites or the Referral partner links will be uninterrupted or error-free, and Partnerwerks will not be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.
If any of the provisions of this Agreement are determined by a court to be unenforceable, they shall be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
By signing up with the Partnerwerks Referral Partner Program, you acknowledge that you have read this agreement and agree to all its terms and conditions. You have independently evaluated this program and are not relying on any representation, guarantee, or statement other than as set forth in this agreement.
