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 Zoho's.
With Zoho's structure, the rewards for one referred customer cost $190. For 100 referred customers, if 50% would not have bought anyway, the program returns $2,000 of net contribution (10.5% ROI). It breaks even when 45.2% of referred customers are new because of it.
