How it works
Your involvement ends at step one
Everything after the introduction is our job — including the parts that usually make referral work feel like a second full-time role.
01
You introduce
A warm intro, or a name logged in the shared lead registry. We confirm the lead is registered to you within one business day.
02
We run presale
Technical discovery, scope, a rough estimate in 24–48 hours, then the proposal and negotiation. Our team, our time, our engineers on the call.
03
The client signs and pays
Contract with our Serbian entity, milestone-based. Architecture, delivery, QA, and account management stay entirely with us.
04
You get paid
Commission is released on each incoming client payment — not held back until the project closes.
20% on the first contract, uncapped
Plus 5% on the client's second and third contracts, while we carry 100% of the ongoing account management, upselling, and delivery. Paid out as the client's deposit and milestone installments land. A pilot sprint is the client's first contract and pays 20%, so the development that follows it is the second contract at 5%. No salary, no retainer — commission only.
No exclusivity and no monthly quota — this runs alongside your current role
No delivery, project management, or technical questions land on you
No use of confidential employer relationships; conflicts of interest are out of scope by design
Your leads are logged in a shared registry and protected from overlap
Who to introduce
What a good introduction looks like
Mid-market is the sweet spot. If you are unsure whether a company fits, send it over — a two-line description is enough for us to tell you.
01 / 03
What you are introducing us for
Backend, data & custom CRM
High-load architecture, tuned databases, and CRM/SRM systems shaped to how the client actually works.
AI agents & automation
Voice agents that make real sales calls, document processing, and multi-agent workflows — plus a no-code dialogue builder.
QA & security
Automated test suites, access-control and tenant-isolation review, CI/CD pipelines guarding every release.

FAQ
Questions partners ask before signing
If something here is not covered, ask by email — we answer within one business day.
Who is this referral partnership for?
Business development professionals, sales consultants, agency owners, freelancers, and anyone with a network of companies that buy software. You do not need a technical background — our engineers handle every technical conversation.
How much commission do I earn?
20% of the revenue we collect under the client's first contract, with no cap. Repeat business from the same client pays 5% on the second and third contracts, while we carry all ongoing account management and delivery.
Does a pilot sprint count as the first contract?
Yes. The first contract the client signs is the first contract, a €1,000 pilot included, and it pays 20%. Development that follows the pilot is that client's second contract and pays 5%. If the prospect looks ready for the full build, say so when you introduce them — we will scope the build itself rather than lead with a pilot.
When and how is the commission paid?
Commission is released on each incoming client payment, starting with the initial deposit — not withheld until the project is finished. Payments are made by bank transfer in EUR or USD against a signed referral agreement.
Is this an employment position?
No, and there is no salary or retainer — it is a commission-only referral partnership. Non-exclusive, no quota, no hourly commitment, no fixed schedule, and nothing is paid before a client of yours pays us. It is designed to run alongside an existing full-time role or consultancy.
Do I have to sell or explain the technology?
No. Your part ends at the introduction. We run technical discovery, write the proposal, join the calls, negotiate, and deliver. You are welcome on the calls, but you never have to answer an engineering question.
How are my leads protected from being taken over?
Every lead you introduce is logged in a shared lead registry (Notion or Google Sheets) with a timestamp, and we confirm registration within one business day. That record is what the referral agreement pays against.
What kind of projects can you actually take on?
Custom web platforms, high-load backends and data architecture, custom CRM and SRM systems, AI agents and business-process automation including voice agents, and QA and security work. We deliver end to end with a senior-only team.
What if the client is not ready for a large project?
We offer a fixed-scope pilot sprint from €1,000, running one to two weeks — typically an architecture and performance audit, a speed optimization, or an AI prototype. It lets a cautious prospect test the team with almost no risk, and it is the client's first contract, so it pays you 20%.
Which markets and time zones do you work in?
We take clients worldwide — Europe, the United States, Africa, Asia and the Gulf — and there is no region we turn down. Contracts are signed through our registered Serbian entity and invoiced in EUR or USD, which is what makes that possible. The team is in CET, which overlaps with the full African and European working day and with US morning hours, and we reply within one business day.
How many partners do you take on?
There is no limit and no waiting list. The terms on this page are the terms every referral partner works on, and the ones that apply to you are the ones written into your referral agreement.
How do I get started?
Email contact@vertical-unit.org with the markets and industries you can cover. We schedule a 30–40 minute intro call, sign the referral agreement, and give you access to the lead registry so you can log your first prospect the same day.
Tell us which markets you can cover
