What this structure costs on your numbers
Take a plan of $50 a month: $600 in the first 12 months, at a 70% gross margin. Keeping half of the gross profit leaves a reward budget of $210 for each referred customer. These are example figures, not IDrive's.
With IDrive's structure, the rewards for one referred customer cost $150. For 100 referred customers, if 50% would not have bought anyway, the program returns $6,000 of net contribution (40% ROI). It breaks even when 35.7% of referred customers are new because of it.

Partners earn a percentage of every payment from the customers they send, for as long as those customers pay.
- Create a free RefRef account and add your Project.
- Create a Program from the “Lifetime revenue share” template.
- Set the rewards: 25% for life for the partner, or your own amounts.
