Understanding Enterprise Commission Potential

Quick Answer

Enterprise referrals can generate $1,000 to $20,000+ in commission from a single client. You earn 30% on ALL enterprise payments including bulk listing fees, sponsor subscriptions, lead purchases, pro bono unlimited subscriptions, and custom advertising packages—all within the 12-month window.

Overview

Enterprise clients represent the highest earning potential in the Heritage Web Affiliate Program. While individual professionals might spend $500-2,000 annually, enterprises routinely spend $10,000-100,000+ in their first year. Your 30% commission on these amounts can transform a single referral into substantial recurring income.

Important Notes

Pre-Contact Required: ALWAYS email [email protected] BEFORE referring enterprise clients. This ensures proper attribution for bulk account creation and template-based setups.

Manual Attribution: Enterprise deals often involve custom onboarding. The affiliate team will manually ensure all related accounts are properly attributed to you.

12-Month Window: You earn commission on ALL enterprise payments within 12 months of initial account creation, including later additions and upgrades.

FAQs

Q: What if an enterprise creates accounts over several months? A: As long as you contacted [email protected] first, all accounts created as part of the enterprise deal are attributed to you, even if created at different times.

Q: Do I earn commission on contract renewals after year one? A: No, commission is only for the first 12 months. However, many enterprises front-load spending in year one, maximizing your earnings.

Q: How do I track enterprise commission separately? A: Your Affiliate Portal shows all commissions, but you can use UTM parameters like utm_campaign=enterprise_clientname to track specific deals.

Q: What's the typical enterprise sales cycle? A: Enterprise deals typically take 30-90 days from introduction to close. Factor this into your planning, but remember the high commission makes it worthwhile.
